Ask the Support for the Orchestrate API documents, and also for some samples. There are also some samples you can use that are located within the PXEngine directory (on the server, not client).

laprs? Lpars? I am totally at a loss in trying to understand what you're saying here. Are you referring to a different server partition? The Compare stage just simply compare whatever data that are being provided to it from two different sources. Read the help file on it, and the Compare Stage chapt...

In a transformer: ((JulianDayFromDate(TimestampToDate(Input.currentTime)) * 24) + (HoursFromTime(TimestampToTime(Input.currentTime)))) - ((JulianDayFromDate(TimestampToDate(Input.oldTime)) * 24) + (HoursFromTime(TimestampToTime(Input.oldTime)))) This should get you started using truncated hours.

In your Administrator, or your job parameter, you need to define the following environment parameters:

APT_ORAUPSERT_COMMIT_ROW_INTERVAL
APT_ORAUPSERT_COMMIT_TIME_INTERVAL

Enjoy.

You can not do this in EE at this time. Lookup stage pull everything from the reference table before any lookup matching are done. This is vital when you are dealing with parallelism, and the potential for more than 1 matching lookup value at any single run. Each stage are contained in its own unive...

As a rule, you must provide a method for DataStage to handle conversion of Nullable values to non-nullable values. Because if you don't, then DataStage will act very funny when it is provided a Null value without any way to handle it. Unfortunately, I can not simply believe you when you said that so...

Within a transformer, convert the decimal to varchar, and trim the leading zeros. Be careful, sometimes the values have negative signs. You will need to work your logic around that.

This is not the problem of the database. It is how DataStage internally hold values in decimal.

My suggestion: Make absolutely sure you really need to use Server Job routines. There are preciously little that can't be done in EE that is being done in Server.
