datasets

Guys, Your comments on the following...

"Because datasets are platform and configuration-specific, they should not be used for long-term backup and recovery of source data"

Thanks

Oracle table is partitinoned.

Now, how do I specify this table to be read in parallel? Are you suggesting that partitioned table will be read in parallel even though the "Executeion Mode" is sequential? If that is the case.....

Can I not read a partitioned table sequentially?

SAP APO

Hi,
we are adding SAP APO to our existing SAP infrastructure. What are the components that need to be installed on SAP APO app server? Documentation says about 'cofiles' and 'datafiles'. But want to make sure I am not missing anything else. Can somebody help?
Thanks,

Sorry Ray, was on vacation. This string can occur multiple times. If it occurs only once, what ever the way ArndW mentioned would work as you pointed out.

replacing a string

Hi, I have an input string 'fantacy', I would like to covert this string to 'faxyzcy' in the TRANSFORMER Stage. That is 'nta' in the input string should be replaced by 'xyz' in the output. Only the occurrance of 'nta' need to be replaced but not the individual chars...so CONVERT function won't work....
