Datastage jobs folder organization
Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2016 8:33 pm
This is more of an architecture question and am seeking different perspectives to see what the more popular choice is in various implementations.
When a project has over 1500+ jobs and has data coming in from 5-10 sources all being transformed (together) to be loaded into an Enterprise Data warehouse, how would you go about organizing those jobs in an intuitive way.
We could potentially name the jobs so you would know which source its coming from and where it is being updated to, but if they are grouped logically it is easier to get to them and moreover this naming standard wont work when multiple sources or multiple targets are processed in that job
With both the initial development perspective and future maintenance perspectives in mind.. design of Job folders is only to help the developer develop quickly and debug quickly in case of production issues/new requirements/impact assessments etc.. - being able to find the job faster is probably a huge criteria... - with this in mind, would you normally group and organize jobs by Sources OR by Targets (which are the data warehouse tables) ?
Thanks in advance !!
