Hi Rajeev, If you need more info about routines, the installation CD contains a folder called Samples (see the help files on Parallel routines). Basically, a parallel routine is a c++ function. I know it wasn't like that in v6 (only custom stages where available as Ray said) but in v7.5, you can def...

Thanks all!

I receive the message: "This command is not supported" when I type LOGTO UV. Maybe v7.5 does not support it anymore...

Yes I am logged in as dsadm. I know when I did this previuosly that I had to type something like COPY SOMETHING TO VOC FILE but I can't remember what...

Thanks

Hi All, I have a problem with the unlock command in Administrator. I am issuing the command: LIST.READU to get the Inode of the process I want to clear. But when I do: UNLOCK INODE #node_number# ALL I get the message: "UNLOCK" is not in you VOC file. I remember that I need to copy somethin...

Hi,

Try the test I suggested on this post:

If you encounter compilation problems with an "empty transformer" (as in a transformer doing nothing), it is a good indicator that your compiler may be the issue.

Hi, We had this error previously. It is probably related to a problem with your c++ compiler. Try this: Build a simple job mapping a file directly to another one. If this works, insert a transformer between the files to do the mapping (without any transformation). If it fails when you compile, check...

My data types (file, stage var and job params) are all integer, I have no string type in this job. I don't know why PX interprets the variables as strings. But it seems we also have compiler issues so this might be the problem.

Thanks

Hi All, I am building a transformer in PX. My job has integer type parameters but the transformer gives me a conversion error when I compile it (string to int32). When I look at the generated code, I see that my parameters are defined as string in the transformer code. Since I perform mathematical o...

Thanks guys!

Hi All, I have a requirement to split my incoming data in multiple rows by periods. I have to read 2 fields: begin_day and termination_day and split the incoming record into as many records as needed with each of them having a one month lengh. For example, if I have begin_day = 01/01/2004 and termin...

I added an "otherwise" trigger to my routine and it did work this time. I guess if you don't have a "failure trigger" it keeps checking for this 0 return value...I do not usually use a failure trigger with every routine...some are so simple that they could not really fail. Well t...

Sorry guys. I'm probably very slow... So I added a second routine to my test sequence and used a custom trigger (Routine_Activity_0.$ReturnValue = 1) instead of the return value trigger alone. As you see, I want my next job to be triggered when the return value is 1. It still fails and if you look a...

Hi, I found out why this is happening. The generated job control code for the sequencer checks the return code of the routine. If the return code is not 0, it fails!!! I tested it with a routine that returns 0 and...no failure this time. This means that we can't use any of our routines which return ...

Thanks, It may have something to do with the return value of the routine. I set up a test with a sequencer that has only a routine activity (With a standard write to log routine). My sequencer doesn't have any trigger since there is only one "activity". The job sequencer fails anyway after...
