Hi
I am getting below warning can any one can explain what is the meaning and how to resolve the issue.

1) SqlTb_Stg_Mstr,0: Invalid character(s) ([x8D]) found converting string (code point(s): SLA_000215_D[xC3][x8D]AS DE CINE) from codepage ASCL_MS1252 to Unicode, substituting.

2)APT_CombinedOperatorController,1: Field 'PGTOT_parent' from input dataset '-1' is NULL. Record sent to reject dataset.

(1) Somewhere in your data the byte sequence 0x8D is being found, which is not valid for ASCL_MS1252.

(2) Not really possible to tell. Disable operator combination and run the job again so that you can determine which actual stage is throwing the error.
