Odbc connector and enterprise stage

Post by probal »

In my job I am using odbc connector stage ,and my target is a odbc connector stage via transformer.In my source d/b there is a column of datatype number which is imported in the datastage metadata as decimal(38,10).After compilation when I run this job the job is aborted showing a log of many NOTFOUND columns.

This job is run successfully if I use a odbc enterprise stage instead of connector stage.Seems that the problem is for that specific column only as if I remove that column the job is run successfully using odbc connector stage
Can anyone please explain the reason
Appreciate any kind of help.[/img]

Are you sure it runs correctly when you remove those fields? Are you getting anything as output?

when ever it fails using ODBC connector stage look at the entry in log containing IIS-CONN-ODBC and check whether the connection was successful.

I only get not found warnings for key columns when the connection is not successful.

As I have said earlier the pblm is with that specific column only.there is no problem of connection.I have tested that.
My query is how can the same job can be run successfully using odbc enterprise stage w/o removing that column............

For what you're describing, I would assume it's a bug in the connector stage, they are new and thus still can have some issues. Check with your official support provider to see if this is a known issue and if there is a patch available.

The point to note here is that ' IBM would be replacing enterprise stages with connector stages in long term'

You mean connector stages will be replaced by the enterprise stage.?

No. Not sure anything will actually "be replaced" but Connectors are new and will (I assume) be the preferred connection object going forward, once they get all the kinks out of 'em that is. :wink:

- What is your source database?
- Is there another column of datatype decimal?

Oracle. And unbounded NUMBER field (one with no precision specified) will be imported as Decimal(38,10) since an unbounded NUMBER is stored as a float.
