What i meant was if we have a stage that runs sequentially the data will be available on the conductor node (partition) [only if the stage runs parallely the data will be partitioned across available nodes else only the conductor partition will hold the data, this is what is presume] and suppose tha...

The join stage will first sort the input streams according to your join key(s), unless that has been already done or explicitly turned off. That way the join mechanism can process the data without having to store large amounts of interim data in memory or on disk. The one question that is bugging m...

There was a small typing mistake in my earlier post, sorry for that : I have a little confusion here as The DB2 database stage runs sequentially and if i connect it to a join stage which runs in parallel the DataStage will partition the data across the nodes and when this happens i guess there is a ...

Hi Is there a means by which i can pass DataStage NULL as an agument to a parallel routine ? in server routine there is no such problem NULL values can be passed into and can be checked within the routine using IsNULL(). Is there a specific input argument type i should select for parallel routines s...

when we use setnull() it would be out band null but how to convert out band null to in band null; makenull will do the vice versa how abt the other side?
And where do can we make a choice of using in band null or out band null for nullable fields?

Transformer_46,0: Field 'DELTA_FLAG' from input dataset '0' is NULL. Record dropped.

It is dropping records when null value is passed as an argument.

Operator Combinability says that if more than one operator can be combined into a single process they will get mingled up and eventually run in single process reducing the overhead of passing the data from one process to other................ keeping this in mind i have the following question: Can t...
