OS Plug-in enquiry?

Hi

When i run match stage using plug-in in datastage, we can define the input columns, but the output columns will have extra 4 colums right (weight, type.....) will this be in the output of OS plug-in, that is if my output of QS plug-in is pointed to sqential file, will these records along with addional information will be written to this sequential file?

Regards,

gsym

Yes, provided that the link has metadata defined for them. (It's not necessarily four columns, and they're not necessarily at the end - I tend to have them at the start - it depends how you build your match output within QualityStage.)

hi ray

But the metadata is generated by the QS and information is put into by the process, i am taking about TYPE, WGt, RECUN etc. these are created by the QS itself right?. this metadata has to be predefined in the output link?

You can create metadata in the table definition in Manager (or Repository view from Designer) to accommodate these columns.

hey thanks for helping... I tried a different approach. I combined both the files and sent them using one oracle input and splited to two flat files using split stage and then did geomatch
