Hi TPQ, As I mentioned earlier do not use the job parameter which you picked from the environment variables list ($Server_Name) to be used in the DB2 API stage. Create a parameter which is unique to the job say Server_NAME. Create a job sequence and add the environment variable $Server_Name in the j...

What I understand is that if the 3rd job got aborted, the next time you run the sequence you want to continue with the 3rd job. Is that so? If that is the case use the checkpoint option available in the job propert...

Hi John, We are facing the same issue that you have mentioned. We have a Teradata API stage which works fine. But if it is pulled into a shared container the osh script generates DSCAPIOP_ before all the parameter names and causes a connect failure. We are running Datastage 7.5.2 on Linux Suse. Can ...

In the tranformer have 2 constraints. 1. change_code=1 or change_code=3 (New Inserts) 2. change_code=3 (Old record Updates) The output from the constraint 2 should go to a join stage where you join with the old records. Now you have 2 stream...

Hi Amit,

Do a search on Modify stage. Modify stage uses direct orchestrate functions. Search the Orchestrate manuals and you will find the orchestrate functions to be used in Modify stage.

In this case it will Date_From_String

Hi Sam,

If you intent to do this within DataStage use 2 column import stages one for detail and other for trailer. The outputs of the 2 column import stages will be 1 varchar column with a fixed width. Use the funnel to merge both these outputs and load it into sequential file.
