Use of Metadata in DataStage stages
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 9:50 am
My question is:
Is it possible to get access to metadata "inside" a stage.
As an example: is it possible in a transformers derivation code to have knowledge about the metadata for the column being processed?
Behind this is the idea that in a shared container one should be able perform processing based on a columns actual type and length (metadata). Which is unknown at design time.
Thank you in advance.
