Hi,

I have implemented the SCD type2 using the below link and also based on the dsxchange forums.
http://www.obase.com/iis/DataStagev8.pd ... tagev8.pdf

But i am having a error message and job is getting failed. and searched in the forums. found one related to his and applied same but still having the same problem .

Code: Select all

Error: APT_CombinedOperatorController(1),0: Lookup table is empty, no further warnings will be issued.
Error:Slowly_Changing_Dimension0: Failure during execution of operator logic.
Error:APT_CombinedOperatorController(1),0: Internal Error: (start <= end): surrkey/keystate.C: 86 
Error:Traceback: Could not obtain stack trace; check that 'dbx' and 'sed' are installed and on your PATH
Error:node_node1: Player 5 terminated unexpectedly.
Error:main_program: APT_PMsectionLeader(1, node1), player 5 - Unexpected exit status 1.
Error:Slowly_Changing_Dimension_39,0: sendWriteSignal() failed on node gbnruad0142 ds = 6 conspart = 0 Broken pipe
Error:Slowly_Changing_Dimension_39,0: Could not send close message (shared memory)
Error:main_program: Step execution finished with status = FAILED.

As i can see the problem with the surrkey. As i have generated the surrkey using surrogate key generator stage.i am unable to find where i have done the problem in the SCD stage.

Step1) I have given select outlink name LinkOutput

Step2) In the lookup tab,

Key expression---------Column name---------Purpose
-----------------------PSK-----------------Surrogate Key
LnkSouce.prodsk--------SK------------------Business Key
-----------------------Brand---------------Type2
-----------------------desc----------------Type2
-----------------------Curr----------------Current Indicator(Type2)
-----------------------Eff_Date------------Effective Date(Type2)
-----------------------Exp_Date------------Expiration Date(Type2)

Stpe3)
Source Type:Flatfile
Source Name:/abc/temp/seqfilename.txt(Which is generated by sequence generarator stage)
Intial Value:1

Step4)

Derivation--------------ColumnName------Purpose----------------------Expire
NextSurrogateKey()------PSK-------------Surrogate Key----------------
lnkdata.prodsk----------SK--------------Business Key-----------------
lnkdata.Brand-----------Brand-----------Type2------------------------
lnkdata.desc------------desc------------Type2------------------------
'Y'---------------------Curr------------Current Indicator(Type2)-----'N'
Current_date()----------Eff_Date--------Effective Date(Type2)--------
'2099-12-12'------------Exp_Date--------Expiration Date(Type2)-------Current_date()

Do i need to generate surrogate key file with different method.Any help greatly appriciated.

Thanks

The Surrogate Key state file should be created using a job that has the Surrogate Key Generator stage with no links whatsoever.

The Surrogate Key state file can then be initialized, if required, using a job that has a Surrogate Key Generator stage with an input link.
