retrict the number of process of one stage with in a job

I have a job which has to extract the data parallel and then insert the data into Netezza. Since the insert into NZ is fast I want only 1 process to insert. In order to extract, I have an parallel odbc stage for which I need to specify at least 4 nodes to pull data fast. So how do I restrict the one stage with in the job to create only one process. Even if I specify node map constraint as node 0, it creates 4 process to insert. Job flow is like
ODBCstage (4process)-->copy stage-->NZstage.

you could change the netezza stage execution properties to sequential. did you try that?

I tried this earlier but used node constraint along with this and it gave me some error. I will try just specifying the sequential.

No..it is not helping. The NZ stage is invoking the number of nodes specified for the job and not getting restricted by any of these.

may be develop a server job ....Database server can be taxed for the extraction process....

the extraction has to be a parallel odbc process and hence I need parallel job.

Hi

Use sequential mode and don't use Node Constraint option.

Thanks

Have you tried limiting the Netezza stage to a single-node node pool?
