Custom Build & Wrapper stage

[nvalia]

Hi,

I need to come up with a couple of Build stages for certain complex functionality in PX. Is there any help on the language & functions that can be used for building this stage? e.g APT_DATE::daysInYear(<year>)
Also what is the basic difference between Custom, Build & Wrapper stages?

Regards,
NV

For the difference between the three take a look at the Parallel Job Advanced Developers Guide, Section 'Specifying Your Own Parallel Stages' on page 5-1

As far as help with the language goes I don't think the classes are documented anywhere except in their own header files.

There is of course plenty of information about C++ in general on the web.

Hi thompsonp,

Thanks for ur prompt response.The advanced guide does list all the header file names.
Where on the DS server (path) can I find these Header files to be able to have a look at them, if I can!

On Unix, your user profile should include a variable called APT_ORCHHOME that is the base directory where the PXEngine resides. You should be able to find your header files in :

$APT_ORCHHOME/include/apt_util

For example, on our system it is something like this:

APT_ORCHHOME = /apps/Ascential/DataStage/PXEngine/

and the include files are in:

Code: Select all

[bradsid@myserver 14568]: cd $APT_ORCHHOME
