Hi Everyone ,
Whats the difference between the Active and passive stage?
I would like to know the differentiating criteria between the two.
Is it like in Informatica, if a stages changes the number of row in its output then its an active stage eg filter, agg and if it doesnt change the o/p rows then its passive, eg sort .
how is this decided in Datastage?
Your replies are appreciated.

I like thinking of passive stages as inputs and outputs (sources & targets of data); but the definitive list can be seen when browsing the stages as they are shown are "active", "passive" or "external"

Actives stages, such as the Transformer and Aggregator, perform processing tasks, while passive stages,
such as the Sequential File stage and Hashed File stage, are reading or writing data sources and provide services to the active stages.
