How to use the structure file
Posted: Wed Jul 19, 2006 2:45 pm
Hi, My project has this SAP as the source system and the source data file has 100+ columns.
This is an integration project between different systems, the order of the SAP source structure is not fixed(or completely determined at this poitn) until their build is complete.
My DataStage first job has to to read this SAP file and do further processing. This 100+ column filed keeps changing from their meetings and discussions and I end up changing my datastage job's source metadata which is tedious due to too many fields.
Is there a way I can get around with this?
SAP system gives me the data file and also the structure file(in csv format). Can I, in any way use this structure file to create the metadata on my job or in anyway use that file to save the layout in my DataStage table definitions?
please help!
