Re: datastage job generic script clarification

1 -> Maybe you can put all the parameters you have to process as last parameters of the UNIX script calling the DataStage job. ex : 1st param : job name 2nd param : user 3rd param : psw All the other params are parameters to pass to the job You can get the number of parameters passed to your script ...

To my knowledge, if you have to run DataStage jobs from another application, you will have to use the "dsjob" command, either the client or the server version of it. The IBM documentation below https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZJPZ_11.5.0/com.ibm.swg.im.iis.ds.direct.doc/topic...

Are you sure the lines are not written to your output file? Sometimes DataStage removes some useless stages while running.
Because the link is believed useless the performance stats are not written under it, but they are actually drag to the output.

According to my knowledge, you can't control 3 independent data flows in a single parallel job.
The only way is to split your job in 3 sub-Jobs and call them with a Sequence Job.

That's a lot of jobs.

You can also use the DataStage functions, ex :

Code: Select all

If Count(FullString,Word) > 0
    Then --> Word is in FullString
Else     --> Word is not in FullString

Code: Select all

If index(FullString,Word,1) > 0
	Then --> Word is in FullString
Else    --> Word is not in FullString

First we need to know what do you want your job to do with these 25 files ? Then what kind of metadata do you have on these files (string, decimal, ...) ? Do you always have the same number of fields on each file ? As you said in the title, a solution is to use a schema file for each CSV file with t...

To see if DataStage sort your data before processing the join operation, just set the APT_DUMP_SCORE to 1 and run it. In the log you will see the 'Score', if there is a 'tsort operator' for your join, then DataStage sort your data. By default, when DataStage sort data he use 20MB per partition as an...

You can also use the Modify stage to do the conversion operation and use the NOWARN specification since the string to decimal conversion seems to be handled by DataStage : https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZJPZ_11.3.0/com.ibm.swg.im.iis.ds.parjob.adref.doc/topics/c_deeadvrf_Default_an...

You can do that transformation using a looping transformer : Create 6 stages variables as below SvRecord : If @ITERATION = 0 Then Ln_Input.InputCol Else SvRecord SvCol1 : If @ITERATION = 1 Then Ln_Input.InputCol Else SvCol1 Etc... Then loop while @ITERATION < 6, create 6 fields ( Record,col1,col2,co...
