manish, Yes - You'll need to synchronise the name of the pipe your Java app is writing to with the one your DS job is reading from. Depending on your configuration you could either get DS to invoke the Java app to populate the pipe, or get your Java app to invoke your ds job with either (Java app or...

manish1005, I've used a similar technique to read and process data streamed into a named pipe. The pipe was created with a 'mkfifo' at the start of the job and removed at the end (using before and after ExecSH entries) In my case, the pipe was being populated by the 'top' command to capture performa...

Hi ejazsalim, I'll leave it to others to discuss the merits of stand alone DataStage on a laptop. Assuming those laptops are connected to your network then remember that as well as embedding a QualityStage job inside DataStage, you could also (in theory - although I've never tried it) invoke a DataS...

Hi ejazsalim, Off the top of my head, I don't believe the 'function' you're looking for is available in QualityStage Pattern Action Language, however you could build a set of patterns to look for hard-coded numbers of tokens: E.g. Given an output field CN (count) defined in your dictionary ... ** | ...

I would recommend you start with the <a href="search.php">search</a> link at the top of this page.

Searching for the phrase "RPC daemon is not running" gives me 34 matches.

DOH! Sorry - That post was typed Pre-Coffee (hence my excuse for a brain wasn't awake).

It is possible to use regular expressions in parallel transformers, but only after you've done all the hard work yourself... You can define a Parallel Transformer by creating a C function using the <regex.h> library. We're using this at the moment and it works well. It provides full regular expressi...

Parvati, As Arnd suggested above, we've previously used a wrapped stage around the unix 'crypt' command which does a nice (if not extremely secure) job of obfuscating the data presented on stdin. Just configure the encryption key as a parameter and if you don't have a requirement for very secure enc...

Can't you create a symbolic link pointing from the old name to the new name. It's a bit of a fudge but if it were documented and managed it would work OK.

... and if you're writing a sequential file as output (or some other stage where output order might be important) then use a sort Stage to sort by a key value. If you need to preserve the input order in your output you can generate an appropriate key for the input data. Do a search on @INROWNUM. J.

bkerebel,

That's a rather confusing post. Did you post that message into the correct thread? Narasimha's issue is related to FTP and has nothing to do with Runtime Column Propogation.
