Thanks in Advance

In the transformer prior to the DB2 API stage, on the rejectred link, in the constraints, use LinkVariable --> Outputs --> (DB2Link) REJECTED.

This is applicable only for Server jobs. But what about in PX? In PX we cannot get the (DB2Link) REJECTED option. So then how will we capture the rejected records which are not inserted into the db?

I tried by making one of the output link as Reject. But still the rejected records are not being captured by this link. Am i missing something here? Should I give any additional constraints for this to be done.

Any help in this regard please...

DB2 API stage does not support any reject links.

If using DB2 Enterprise stage is an option for you, then you can use the upsert option with a reject link to catch the rejected records.

Otherwise you have to parse the log for 'rejected' entries and abort the job. Then data verification should be done manually.

But Iam sure you can manually make a conditional check for the duplicates to get rejected using transformer.
