I just can't find it

You'll find it in the Processing group on the Palette or in your Repository browser. Hi In my document i see the about the...

Just setup a symbolic link to point to the appropriately named file. This allows your job to have a fixed name, and the symbolic link switches between files. An alternative is to copy the landed file into a processing directory under the fixed name. What is a symbolic link (is it another stage) how...

Let's do some simple link naming to make things easy. Your job looks like this: hash | | V seq ---> xfm ---> seq If your link into the xfm is called "SOURCE" and your reference link from the hash is called "REFERENCE", then construct If-Then-Else statements like this: If SOURCE....

Write a job that extracts table A to a sequential file using the WHERE clause A.ACT_CUST_ACCT_NO NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT ACT_CUST_ACCT_NO FROM CBSS_ETL.ACCOUNT); so that you only get the rows you need to process. At the same time, have a job extracting table B to a hash file. Lastly, have a third j...

Extract(Teradata) ---> Transformer ---> Load(Teradata) Use user-defined SQL in the Extract stage to extract from the three joined tables. This is MUCH easier - especially since you already have the SQL - than loading hashed files from the same database instance. The Load stage can use a generated S...

The simplest thing is to let DataStage generate the SQL for you; depending on the stage type you are using there are between six and ten "update rules", such as "insert new rows only", "update existing rows", and so on. Feed the rows to be updated through a stage with ...

That's going to depend on a number of factors, none of which you bothered to tell us about. Let's call TableA the table that has to be updated, and TableB the table that contains the updates. Does TableB contain only records to cause updates to TableA, or does TableB contain these and other records...
