that is the beauty of Parameter sets. in the job properties you will not see the parameters. When you call them in the job they will be like #PARAMETER_SET_NAME#.#PARAMETER_NAME#. So the job properties tab are lesser. And you can change the value file accordingly to have different value file for dif...

Else you will have to change your Trigger column to some other unique tag this way the aggregation will happen at a different level, like if you choose <main> as a ...

Ray, Thank you for the reply. Do you mean to say that all this could be done dynamically by using RCP or do I have to individually prefix the zero for each column where it is required? What about tagged records? could that be employed to get around this? Kind of new to PX.. and curious. thank you, a...

Do not do any operations on the column in Datastage transformer.. cast it as Decimal(30,24) in Oci or your source stage and propgate that value directly to orcale OCI stage.. ensure that the meta data matches. that is target also says its Decimal(30,24) or Numeric(30,24)
