Sequencing the flow

gsym · Post by **gsym** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 10:05 am

hi

Since Qs dosent have a canvas where we can create flows, can we create flows in QS..if so how?. to explain more clearly, I have a file A, this has to undergo split stage and we will get 2 files, one file has to undergo investigation and another file have to undergo split again and so on. Can this be sequenced has one flow? if so. how?

Regards

You can have multiple stages (except investigation stages) in a job, but that's about all there is for sequencing in QualityStage alone. You could, of course, involve DataStage to get your sequencing, using the QS plug-in but, as others have noted, this is not the world's friendliest interface. Or you can script a sequence of QS jobs in a shell script.

HI Ray

Can you provide more information regarding scripits? like i need to embedded all job names and write a flow in unix? if so should it be exceuted like shell script ...or thru program stage?

If I am using qs plugin in datastage, i read that we can have only one input and work around for that is placing the flatfile in some folder and QS will pick it up. Does it work efficiently? if so whats ur actually saying is calling multiple times QS stage within qualitystage.

Please correct me if i am wrong

Regards

See page 8-8 of the QualityStage User Guide (version 7.5) for information about running QualityStage jobs from the UNIX command line.

I am talking about using multiple QS plug-ins in a DataStage job, not in a QualityStage job. These can stream the data into and out of QualityStage; they do not require intermediate physical files. A dedicated "real time" manager (qsrtmngr) looks after this.

I read in previous post that only one input is possible for qs plugin in datastage ? thus if we want to use geomatch which requires 2 setsof streams, what has to be done?

That's when you'd need intermediate files. Hopefully "they" have fixed that in the next ("Hawk") release.

Hey sorry to ask the question again, just want to make sure man

So what u mean is that we can have 2 sets of streams as input to Qs plug-in and perform geomatch.....etc

Exactly the opposite. Only one input stream is presently permitted.

Then we cant perform geomatch using plug-in? Also if i want to use split stage and have two outputs given to DS, that is 2 links coming out of an QS plugin stage? Whats the work around for performing geomatch using plug-in?

DataStage writes two files, executes QS job (through UNIX command in after-stage subroutine perhaps). Another DataStage job reads the output file produced by QS.

DataStage writes one file to disk, and streams the other into a QS job through the plug-in. I have not tried this approach, but theoretically it should work.

Thanks for your patience, i will try and update you on this.

Can you provide more information regarding scripts?

But there is only one stream while we have qs plug-in right?
