Hi,
We have requirment to create GUUID ,is there any fuction or routine in datastage that will create it,acutally we can't call oracle or any database function here.
We can call c++ routines,unix script or java functions,so can anyone help us to achieve this by any of above ways.

Thanks

There's nothing provided "out of the box" in DataStage, but there's nothing to prevent you from creating your own routine. You should be able to find an algorithm for GUUID on the internet, for example at http://www.guidgenerator.com/.

You've been using DSXchange for more than five years. Don't you think less than Rs12 per day (for premium membership) would be a worthwhile investment?

Never mind the fact that you saw enough of the answer to know what it was going to be - roll your own solution, search the 'net for code examples.

Hi,

I tried to find work around with writing a C++ code, below is the code:-

Code: Select all

#include </uuid/uuid.hpp>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
char* UUID_GEN()
{
char* uuid;
uuids = uuid_generate();
return uuid;
}

But while compliation its giving below error message:-

Code: Select all

", line 1.10: 1540-0836 (S) The #include file </uuid/uuid.hpp> is not found.

Any suggestion will be appriciated.

Thanks
Prasoon

A) It's not a "work around".

B) The file you told it to use is missing. Find it. Probably from wherever you got the code.

Hi,
How can we add this header in C++ compiler on unix env.

Find the correct header file and specify its correct pathname in the #include declaration.
