SCD stage not working in 8.1 for windows

[michaeld]

The SCD stage works in 8.01, but not in 8.1.

I get this error message:

scd_SCD2: Error when checking operator: Caught unknown exception during wrapDescribeOperator().

scd_SCD2: Error when checking operator: setInputInterfaceSchema() was not called by describeOperator() for input: 1.
Error when checking operator: setInputInterfaceSchema() was not called by describeOperator() for input: 2.

My inputs are data sets. My outputs are Peek stages. There are no other stages in the design. I followed everything in the IBM redbook. The exact same job (exported) runs in version 8.01.

Has anybody gotten it to work in DS 8.1 (windows)?
Is there a fix/patch for DS 8.1?

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm currently working with 8.1 on Windows and getting the same error when trying to do a range lookup.

[michaeld]

no I never figured it out. We decided to drop the SCD stage and stick with a traditional design for SCD.... (because of the bugs and because it's not as good as I thought it would be) maybe they'll make a better version in the future.

The report I got back from IBM is that it is a compiler issue... we were using VC++ 2008 which is unsupported... how genuine a resolution it is I don't know but we don't get the same error now we have moved in to our Unix environment.

Hi,

I get the same error messages when trying SCD Type 1 (Datastage V8.1 on Windows Server 2003).

I implemented SCD Stage, got lot of errors. Finally we got patch from IBM. Looks like problem is solved

Thanks

Presumably you're also using the supported C++ compiler for your platform. It does matter.
