Error in using Fileset

[s_porkalai]

When i try to transfer the data from sequential file to fileset it is showing error "Unable to parse fileset descriptor '/home/parunach/samp1.fs' parsing a dataset expecting fileset". Can anyone please help to rectify this error

Welcome aboard. :D

My first guess is that you used a Data Set stage rather than a File Set stage to create the File Set.

no i haven't create the fileset in datastage job using create option in update mode. i have create fileset samp1.fs explicitly in unix enviorment and I am using fileset stage only not datset stage

[ray.wurlod]

Please explain the precise process that you used to do this.

i have create fileset samp1.fs explicitly in unix enviorment

I do not believe that a true File Set can be created using UNIX commands.

Hi ,

Even i m tryin to accomplish the same thing....but same error is bugging me too...The error is as follows:

Dept_Write_File: Error when checking composite operator: In file set "/home/dwdv_kdo/kunal/Dept.fs": Parsing a dataset, expecting a fileset.

I have first created the required target file named ' Dept.fs' in UNIX in my home directory....n then i ran the job....But the job aborted bcos of the above error.
I tried a lot of options but cudnt get thru....Could u please tell me how to get rid of this?

Thanks,
Kunal

...I have first created the required target file named ' Dept.fs' in UNIX in my home directory...

How did you do this?

I dont think so that fileset that you have created is the same as the one datastage creates for you . . . Manuall creating files is something different than you create a control file like fileset( ie fileset creation by datastage would have its own kind of information embedded in it )

Try using some diff's on both the files to identify whether the fileset created by you and the fileset created by datastage are different .

If they are different then for sure there is no way of creating a fileset manually .... You have to create that via datastage to rectify your error

When u create a fileset, you have to create the descriptor .fs, and also the datafiles!

the desciptor tells the schema, and the name of the data files.

Hi,

I created the Dept.fs file by using touch command.Actually i developed one job wherein i read data frm a sequential file n wrote it to a Dataset....Tht time also i created the required 'Department.ds' file by using touch command & in the property of dataset i set Update Policy value to Overwrite.I ran the job n it worked fine.So i tried to achieve the same thing (in my other job wherein i read data frm sequential file n write it to a fileset)by first creating the 'Dept.fs' file by using touch command and then runnin the required job...But everytime it aborted with the reason which i have started in my earlier post.

Thanks,

That is not how you create a File Set control file. The only valid way to create a File Set is to use a File Set stage with an input link.

Similar assertions apply to Data Set and to Lookup File Set.
