Hi,

Use the APT_STRING_PADCHAR environment variable with 0x20 in the job parameters and run the job. Let us know if that resolves the issue.

Hi Vijay,

Where did you find @DAY?

You can use the ExecuteCommand stage to execute a unix command to find the Day and then use the output (Execute_Command_0.$CommandOutput) in the NestedCondition activity to find if it is Friday or not and then move on from there.

Hi Deepak, Your lookup stage should have 4 links altogether. 1. One input link 2. One reference link 3. One output link and 4. One reject link if you set the lookup failure condition to Reject. I think you have 2 reference links. Just click on the specific reject link and right click and change it t...

Hi Deepak, If the data is loaded as it should be why abort the job? In the join stage you cannot abort a job. Use the lookup stage and set the lookup fail property to abort. The transformer allows you to abort the job using the Abort after rows property. If the job does not fail why should the seque...

Hi, Remove the parameter mapping from the job activity and hard-code the paramter value at the job activity level. I hope it is a string. Make sure you do not mention any double quotes as you would in a transformer. If the above solution does not work try to reduce the size of the DB command i.e iss...

Hi, What is your director log showing. Does it show any warnings of records being dropped because of nullability. The metadata might be not null for all the columns from one stage to another but the value for one of the columns coming in can be null for which you have to do null handling. HTH --Rich

Hi,

Do a search. I think this has been discussed before.

Hi Siva,

Create a Teradata table. Create a view based on the table and load the table instead.

Use the Teradata API stage. There were some issues with Teradata Enterprise stage at our site.
