Book Definition --

"....Passive stages in server jobs (e.g., ODBC stages, Sequential File stages,
UniVerse stages), are used to read or write data from a data source. The
read/write link to the data source is represented by the stage itself, and
connection details are given on the Stage general tabs....."

Stages in DataStage can be classified as active and passive stages..
Stages like Transformer which accept an input and perform some transformations and then move the data to some stage are active stages

Where as stages like IPC, Sequential file which dont actually do any processing are passive stages.

If you open a stage in the Stage Types branch of your repository and open the properties of any stage type (technically what you're now looking at is the definition of the class), you will see that active/passive/other is a property of the stage.

Question: how is the FTP stage categorized? Why do you think this is?

Question: how is the ORABULK stage categorized? Why do you think this is?

Stay tuned.
