"Variable 'Oconv' not defined" message in PX but n

I moved a job from server to parallel version. In a derivation in the transformer, I get the message:

"Variable 'OConv' not defined"

during validation. Exact same app except this code is in a parallel job instead of server job.

Thanks.

Because the Transformer stage in Parallel jobs don't support OConv and IConv functions including some other functions as well. You will need to use a BASIC Transformer stage in your parallel job in order to be able to use OConv function.

If you want to do it Parallel Jobs you may have to look at conversion functions like StringToTimestamp , StringToDate ..

I would suggest not using the Basic transformer because it can cause other issues.
