DSXchange

Hi,

I went through the forum to get multirow lookup
I loaded the Flat File to a Hash file
Account is left blank and Directory path also left blank in Hash File stage
File name ContactHsh

In the next job, I used UV stage to get the data from this hashed file
I used localuv as DSN
I cant find the table name

My understanding from the search in this forum is that you dont need SETFILE or VOC pointer if you use local account

You do not need SETFILE if you use the local account. You do this by leaving the Account name blank or the path name blank.

i used User_defined query
This gave me error that SQL failed to execute

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Ragu

Hi Ragu,


I think you cannot leave the account blank. You have to specify a account.


If you choose this option, you must choose the name of the account from the Account name drop-down list box. This list box contains all the accounts defined under the Table Definitions > Hashed branch in the Repository. If the account you want is not listed, you need to define a table definition.


Thanks,
Naveen.

Thanks Naveen,

i will try what you said

You mean to say i should create the table definition under the account Hashed while creating the Hashed file

This will solve the problem

When i choose the table from the table definition and give OK

It gives the following error
Where am I goin wrong?
What i need to change to get it right?

Thanks
Ragu

Hi Ragu,


Cool. I know exactly whats happening.
Here's what you need to do.
Now try and let me know,

Thanks,
Naveen.

Thanks for the detail step by step reply,

But i did this before and still my sql is not being executed

I dont know where is the mistake

You dont need to go to the manager to do this
You can just do this by opening the table definition right in the designer itself

If this is a UV statge:
(a) you DO need SETFILE if the hashed file was created in a directory
(b) you DO need a DSN - localuv is appropriate for the current project
(c) then the warning about the ODBC characters are non-fatal (but you really should fix them)

Hi Ray,

b) works well for me. Could you please provide more information about SETFILE? We have a lots of hash files were created in a directory.

Really appreciate your help.
