Hi, There is an Environment Variable - APT_IMPORT_PATTERN_USES_FILESET, which when set to TRUE, returns the exact file name from which the record is being read.

Bala, If you are mapping only a certain columns from the transformer to the Dataset, then you would need to switch off RCP on this link. If RCP is ON then, the metadata for the dataset created would consist of all 25 columns (as they are propagated to the next stage), even if only 10 columns are map...

Hi,

Also make sure that you have used the right partitioning mode for the Change capture stage. I believe that incorrect modes can also cause problems like this. Suggest that you use the Hash partitioning on the After and Before datasets .

Regards,

The Bird.

Jayant, For generating the surrogate key, you can either use the Surrogate Key stage as Balaji said or as you have done, use the Transformer. Both have pros and cons. If you have to use the surrogate key stage, then you will have to give the start value in the stage properties (i am not sure if this...

Varun, I believe you should be able to do this, the way Ray has mentioned. To your next question, there is no particular stage just for parameterization. It is for this purpose (pass parameters) that the Parameters box is given in the execute command stage, so that you can set the parameter names he...

Thanks Ray!!! The RT_CONFIGnnn table contains the runtime version of the job design. I suggest you solve that first, as per the other thread. The error that is the subject of this thread may then magically vanish. As you said this error has magically vanished, but I had to delete the current link (o...
