Error Message - Operator of type "APT_TSortOperator&quo

Post by hemanthakumar »

Hi All,

I am getting following error message in join stage of parallel job

Code: Select all

Operator of type "APT_TSortOperator": will partition despite the
preserve-partitioning flag on the data set on input port 0.
In join stage we are using the same partition, Before join stage aggregator we have used Hash parition.

As per the suggession from dsexchange users we have tried with clear patition in stage advanced --> preserve-partitioning --> clear

Please advice how we can resolve the issue

That question has been answered at least a dozen times on DSXchange.Search for "will partition despite".

Hi hemanthakumar,

on which stage did you set the preserve-partitioning option to clear? Understand that you have to do it on the stage preceding the one where repartitioning occurs on the input dataset (if I got it right you do hash-partitioning on an Aggregator before your Join-stage - look at the stage preceding your Aggregator then).

The message also points to the fact, that DataStage inserted an additional TSortOperator to your job-design, because you did not specify the sort-order (on the Aggregator?) yourself. It might be a good idea to specify that explicitly.
