The jobs will abort if you specify "Abort after NN warnings" in the properties of "Run Job" in Director. The default is set to 50 IIRC.

This is not a bug.

I agree with the NN setting. But in this case, these messages shouldnt actually be received by Datastage, because of the disable_info line in the rbodbc32.ini file.

At the moment Im getting 2 messages for every record being updated, 100 records updated - 200 messages displayed.

This is the part that I think is a bug ;-)

Dirk, Redbrick was designed with a high-performance
bulk-loader called TMU. This handles both inserts and
updates. Your issues with the ODBC driver are long
standing issues with Redbrick. Since Redbrick was
designed back in the day by Kimball to be a pure data warehousing platform, its mechanism for loading has always been TMU. The ODBC driver is meant for query access, not loading. I worked with Informix years ago about this driver, and theres not much hope for you.

TMU is incredibly fast! It is more featured than any
other bulk loader. The fact that it handles updates
is fantastic.

Good luck!

You are right. I will probably have to accept the fact and move on. I am from the school where you try to keep processes as simple as possible - with as few "stages" as possible - if you know what I mean.

I wanted to keep the loading inside Datastage, where I have more control over the job. I am not loading that many records anyway - in this specific case it is the update of the customer file on our system - which reads from Informix and writes to Redbrick.

It would be better if I can keep it this way. I will see if Tech Support has an answer for me, and then take it from there. If I do get a solution, I will post it to the group.

Thanks for the e-mail Ken
Regards
Dirk
