Hello,

I have a job which is used to concat several Datasets into one to be loaded into an Oracle table.

So, its design is

Code: Select all

                           Oracle
Dataset_1                    |
..          --> Funnel --> Lookup --> Dataset
Dataset_n

Each input Dataset have the structure:

Col1
Col2 (used for the lookup reference)
Col3
Col4

And my Output Dataset is

Col1
Col3
Col4
Col5 (from the Oracle table)

I don't have the RCP activated but my Dataset is created as:

Col1
Col2
Col3
Col4
Col5

As my Load job is a generic one for which I need to have the same structure for the Dataset and the table, I keep having the same error:

ORA_BD: Describe failed because of missing column for Col2

I already tried everything (I think

):

- Copy the job
- Delete the link and the Dataset and recreate it
- Create it with another name...

I also tried to put the option "Silently Drop Columns Not In Table" = True, but this generates warnings.

What can I do to solve this problem?

I would put a Transformer in between Lookup and DataSet and map the necessary columns.

Hi, i am not sure i understand your question. is it the sturcture you get in your lookup . *,**,*** ,****indicates key?? please tell me what is your key from oracle table .

Code: Select all

   *Col1
   **Col3
   ***Col4
   ****Col5 (from the Oracle table)                    col1
                                                                      col3
  *Col1                                                            col4
  ****Col2 (used for the lookup reference)         col2(equals col5)
  **Col3
  ***Col4

assuming col5 is ora key and col2 is funnel key

Code: Select all

  ora_Col1
  Col3
  Col4
  *Col5 (from the Oracle table)                   ora_col1
                                                  col3
  ds_Col1                                         col4
  *Col2 (used for the lookup reference)           col5
  Col3                                            col2 [don't take this from bottom left]
  Col4
  
  hope this helps!
