reject link in Oracle stage

[Sridhar Sivakoti]

Hi,

I have developed a job like ODBC->Transformer->Oracle->ODBC .
Here I have enabled the output rejected records option in Oracle stage and I want insert those records in ODBC table.

1) In source I have taken a column value as NULL which is Primarykey in target table, In this case this record should be rejected and insert into ODBC table. But when I ran this job this record is dropping and giving the warning only and it is not rejecting to insert into ODBC table.

2)Another case is I have taken source column data value as string which is Number in target, In this case also record is dropping and giving the warning only and it is not rejecting to insert into ODBC table.

Please let me know the reasons why the record is dropping and why it is not rejecting. And in which case I can see the rejection records.

Thanks in Advance
Sridhar

NULL will be dropped because you can not transfer NULL into a not null field in DataStage. And primary key columns are ALWAYS not null. You need to intercept the null farther upstream in your job and direct it into an ODBC table. However, null primary key will not be allowed there either.

Thanks your response ray....

Can you tell me in which case we can get the rejected records form reject link.

These ones you can't. Direct them to an otherwise/log link in an upstream Transformer stage.

If there is database constraint voliation records will be rejected from oracle stage
