Hi Arasan,

Post this topic in Server forum and use the Search facility.

It has been discussed a lot many times.

You can remove duplicates by loading into a hash file, by using stage variables in Transformer.

Hi Nagesh,

Use Option 1. Changing the metadata is always better(eventhough it is going to take some time) rather than introducing a new stage.

Hi,

From the command window in Datastage Administrator execute the following query.

SELECT DTM, MODFIFIER FROM DS_AUDITS WHERE INSTANCE='Job_Name'

It will give you the creation as well as the modified time of the job.

Hi royhhlai,

I dont think you can create a column with null value but you can use make_null orchestrate function and set null value for any incoming column.

input_column = make_null(output_column, 'XYZ')

Hi,

1. Have you used the View Data option in OCI.

2. Load the metadata from Datastage Repository. Usually it is Timestamp 38.

Pls let us know what happens.

Hi Rafiq,

I think the problem might be with the link ordering in Change Capture stage. As Arnd suggested write the output of the CDC to a peek stage and check the value for change_code column. If the results are reversed then the link order should be changed in Change Capture stage.

Hi,

Use the search option and do not mention urgent. You probably not have your questions answered by mentioning urgent.
