Need to Process Untranslatable characters

[DeeptiKulk]

Hi,

My dastage job is failing due to Untranslatable character issue.

In my job source system is Oracle table and Target system is Teradata.

Job design :

2 Oracle stage--> Join Stage-> Join stage to combine data from lookup --> Remove duplicate stage--> transformer--> Teradata connector stage with reject link.
Options which I tried to recover this job:
1> used Client_character set == UTF8 Change target table definition apart from key columns I made all columns as unicode columns. --> Job runs with out error. but it rejects records which are not able to process... (Problem here is it created 0 byte reject file but none of the records are written in the reject file.)
2> used Client char set ==utf16==?Change target table definition apart from key columns I made all columns as unicode columns. --> job failes.

3> also tried to use options mentioned in this link. but job is contenously failing.

You need to first find out what character set your Oracle source is using and then what character set your Teradata target is using. Playing around with the DataStage settings isn't the correct way to approach this problem.

Oracle: "SELECT * FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS"
Teradata: "select * from dbc.chartranslations;"

Did you try setting client character set as LATIN01_A in Teradata stage.
