The file doesn't get FTPed. If you view the data in UNIX (after getting it manually), the characters are displayed fine in Vi editor but Datastage reads it as a ? that is, Datastage does let you "view" data but with a "?" for the unreadable character.

Neither worked.

I am assuming you mean its "-99". Officially its a general server error. It could be that its not getting enough resources that's why it runs fine most other times. Do you have too many jobs/instances running at the same time?

Please correct me if I'm wrong..

Thanks all for your inputs. I had never done that before and hence wished to know the implications.

Batch Control Job

Hi,

I would like to know is it wise to have a set of parallel jobs being run by a server batch control job.

Your views will be much appreciated.

Resolved it. Something with the Restartable option. I added it and ran it.

This is what I observed : Job id for FTP needs to be changed every time the ftp fails :!: else it will abort. No need to clear existing file.

Guess its time I need to read up about FTP! 8)

Thanks!

I will need to get the incoming account data into a load/replace table (getting a table created is very difficult in this establisment! :cry: ) to be able to do the selfjoin+incoming account data join. Anyways, this was a migration project... Will probably go with the sparse lookup or SQL join now :...

Its an account profile weekly history. The incoming count is barely 6000 and the weekly history has got 750 million records falling in that window (thats assuming i am hardcoding the dates). I think a sparse lookup for every account will be better or an in-sql join having the accounts in a temp tabl...

Actually I'm getting this error on doing a select. Not trying to create a schema. Perhaps there is some privilege issues for the id on the instance/server parameters ie db2 instance (server) and client instance. :?

There is a history table which I have to query :(over 650million records) 1. To get a subset of account ids from t...
