Try another approach. Are you doing your lookup against entire dimension table ? Maybe creating your lookup files one step before might be more performing and gives you the possibility to have your rejects per table. that's exactly what i meant to say ,ie., to have lookup filesets and do sequential...

I have solved this problem. It has to do with the order in which Constraints are enabled .. We have given name to Primary Key (on Col1 in Eg) which comes later, in alphabatical order, than the reference_key name in question. So DS tried to enable FK but by that time the PK is not yet enabled. If I ...

Thanks for your responses. But. let me frame my question much better. I am actually loading my FACT table. In this process, I have 5 Dimension tables linked to the Fact table(PKs of the DIM tables as FK's in the Fact). Before loading records to the Fact, I do a Lookup to each of the Dimension table...

Perhaps an all-NULL row does not get written into a bad file. Check with your Oracle DBA or Oracle documentation. Or experiment outside of DataStage. ... Ray, you are right! all null reocrds go to discard file but datastage takes into account only 1)control file 2)log file 3)parfile and 4)bad file ...

Are you using the DataStage SQL Load stage to BCP the records into the database? Sounds like an obvious question but i just wanted to be sure. If you are then there must be an option in the load stage whether to remove the temp files or not. I know for sure that the UDB load stage has that option, ...

There are many ways. Possibly the easiest is to follow the Row Generator stage with a Copy stage whose second output sends rows to a file. ... Good idea, Ray!
