How to get the rejected records in 8x

[senthilt1]

Hi All,

In Server jobs, we can take the rejected records by using the reject row option in transformer or using O/pLink.REJECTEDCODE<>0.

My job flow is: Seq file---->Transformer---->Db2 Database

Simillarly in 8x, how can we take the rejected records from the target. We have a option called Otherwise/log in transformer but that would reject only if we have any constraints to the o/p link.

So as of now am using Basic transformer in place of Transformer to get the Target rejected records.

Could anyone suggest some better solution to this.

Thanks,

Which target stage are you using? DB2 Enterprise or DB2 API? What load method? Never worked on DB2 but oracle stage has an option to reject data when used as a target. And DB2 should be no different. The documentation says DB2 Enterprise and DB2 API support reject links.

This is not a Version 8 issue, it is a Server vs. Parallel issue. In Parallel jobs, the rejects are initiated in the stage that causes them - so you need to enable rejects in the DB2 stage and make a reject link from there.

I wrote a blog post and a wiki page about it some time ago that shows how to avoid row leakage in parallel jobs.

Hi

First you have take any reject target stage ( Dataset, Seq, OracleEE, DB2)
Linked the Transformer and Target stage with Linktab.
double click on Linktab there you have option enable reject link.

The regular LinkTab is ________________ like this.
Reject Link Tab is ------------------------ like this.



you can do it....

The tricky part is knowing about and using the invisible columns that get generated down a database reject link in a parallel job. You can see them if you send your reject output to a Peek stage and turn column propogation on.
