Oracle Stage

Post by raj4756 »

Hello All,

I have a job that reads from 3 Oracle tables and writes to a flat files with some operators(sort, join & transformer) in between.The data from Oracle goes to a sort operator and then to a join operator.
When I run the job it completes successfully. I get the no of rows I'm expecting, but when I click on new monitor under Tools in Director, the status for data coming out of the 2 oracle stages is Unknown and number of rows is zero. The 3rd Oracle stage has data going out of it fine. When I click on show performance statistics on Designer, all the links are green except the link joining Oracle to sort.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here ?
Please help.

There's not enough information here for diagnosis. For example, what is the SELECT query for each stage? What colour is the link that isn't green? (By default blue = waiting, red = aborted). If it's waiting, is there a locking issue in Oracle - are you, perhaps, trying to update the same table, or has someone else established a serializable transaction that your job waits for?

The DB Options Mode is set to Auto-generate. There are 2 columns in the oracle stage, they are : cntrct_id numeric 38 and cntrct_stts_cd varchar2(10). The colour of the link is black. I'm not doing any updates in the oracle stage.
Also, I get the following warning "When checking operator: Column CNTRCT_ID floating point decimal not fully supported. Adjusting scale."

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks.

Raj,
looks like a problem I've had. Also with oracle stage, but this actually had nothing to do with it. Check out :
viewtopic.php?t=87373
which handles about problems with the monitor.

the floating point not fully supported is a problem I'm also getting. I have this when I select a field like max(ID) from a table. even converting this to a number did not solve this for me (the standards type of max, sum,count,... in oracle is floating point)
