OSH command limitation ?

Post by benny.lbs »

I am using shell script to generate a generic DataStage job by OSH command. However, I encounter the following fatal error.
<main_program> Fatal Error: The number of outputs attached must be less than 128
Is it OSH command 's limitation ?

It's actually a general DataStage limitation. The upper limit on the number of links connected to a stage (unless otherwise further limited) is 127. This used to be a documented limit and used also to be visible by examining the Stage Type properties in the Repository; it's still an actual limit but can only be seen by "hacking" the DS_STAGETYPES table in the Repository (which we would never advocate!).
