Sequential file from Server to parellel is quite different one.. First thing that you need to check is all the properties of the stage. Most importantly check delimiter, final delimiter and quote.. Most of the things get messy with the usage of these properties. If record legnth is fixed, use that p...

Why not use @INROWNUM in the transformer for target rowcount column..... @INROWNUM gives the number to each row that is passing through the tramsformer.. however the issue with this one is that if job is executing on multiple nodes, the @INROWNUM will give differenet numbers on the rows on each nod...

One more way you can achieve that is. in properties set column names 'yes', it will give you column names in the output file. In after job subroutine.

Check the input properties of the transformers, there is option of partitioning, in that there is option of sort 1. Stable :- This is for previously sorted datasets.. 2. Uniqe :- This will retain only first record if there are duplicates on the sorting key values. hope this helps ----------------- MK

Conenct and select number of records form the given table..that eventually gives you the number of jobs in given repository !

If you want to the input number of records only which is from oracle table, you can write the before job routine to call the unix script. In the script count = select count(*) from the table_name update table_2 set total_input_records = count ------------------------- Hope this helps.. -------------...
