DB2 Enterprise Stage with Transformer Stage

[sanjumsm]

Hi all,

We require to bifurgate data into 4 datasets based on a condition from a table.For which we tried the following method.

Job Design:

DB2 Stage-->Transformer Stage-->Dataset

But while compiling the job it is giving the following error message :
"A configuration file(APT_CONFIG_FILE) must be set up to compile a Parallel transformer stage."

Please let me know if there is any resolution for this error or do we need to modify the design like below

Job1:
DB2 Stage -->Dataset
Job2:
Dataset-->TRansformer-->Dataset1,Dataset2,Dataset3,Dataset4


Thanks in advance

In the design we have used parameter set. In that we have defined the config file for $APT_CONFIG_FILE. This is giving problem while compiling the job. If we include $APT_CONFIG_FILE again in job parameter then also it is giving error saying duplicate config. file.

You possibly have a duplicate node name in your configuration file.

"A configuration file(APT_CONFIG_FILE) must be set up to compile a Parallel transformer stage."

Please let me know if there is any resolution for this error or do we need to modify the design like below

Please check what is the default value given to that Enviroment Variable $APT_CONFIG_FILE in that project using Administrator.

If the default value is not given for $APT_CONFIG_VALUE and the default config file(config.apt) is not found in the Working directory and in $APT_ORCHHOME/etc, DataStage will throw an error message like below if we attempt to even compile the Parallel Job having Transformer Stage.

A configuration file(APT_CONFIG_FILE) must be set up to compile a Parallel transformer stage

Could you please let me stay in the meaning of your words here?

Any reason what this error message conveys at first.(why there must be a need for parallel Engine to have look at Config file on compiling a Parallel Job having Transformer Stage)

Note: If we dont have config file in the mentioned paths apprantly and compile a parallel Job which does not have a Transformer Stage inside, the Job gets compiled well.

The "bi" in "bifurcate" means "two".

I hardly understand what you said, ray.wurlod. Would you like to explain it further?

Bifurcate means cutting into halves. That means two parts. and so bifurcate into 4 makes no sense and the word is used out of context. Ray is pointing it out. Nothing related to the actual topic i guess.

ray.wurlod - Is this you wanted to convey? please confirm.

I dont think that he might mean this because that post is highly relevant to the topic.

[ray.wurlod]

It is precisely my meaning, and my post is totally off topic. I added <pedantic> tags to try to indicate that this is the case.

[ag_ram]

Author will feel the relevance.

And I feel that there is no need to say any post as offtopic for no cause.

You are entitled to your opinion.

I, on the other hand, rejoice in having a sense of humour.

Let me render a high respect to you by having given a humorous gesture.

And would like to ask you a question - Would be able to provide a valid reason for my statements being consiered as superfluous since i did indulge myself into an experiment?
