Hi,

Is there any stage (filestages) in parallel extender like hash file stage in server where we can have any number of inputs or output links. I want to write to a file (same file ) from two transformers. In server job Iam writing to the same hash file from two different transformers. If there is no such type in parallel extender can any one tell me how to achieve my goal in PX.



Thanks,
Somaraju

In Parallel Extender you have stage called Dataset. Here you can tell how do you want to write to the dataset(Overwite/Append etc.). Check for the Update policy option in it. Unfortunately like server you can have one Stage object with multiple links. You have to select one of those dataset stage for each link.

regards

Hi Rasi,

Thanks for reply . I know that Dataset Stage can have only one input link and Iam asking is there any stage in Px that can have two inputlinks. My requirement is like this I have two transformers with stage variables and I have to output from those two transformers to a file (in server iam using a hash file) . In hash file Iam having reckey and outrec columms from first transformer Iam sending reckey = I and outrec = ....... to hash file and from second transformer iam sending reckey =D and outrec = ......... to the same hash file


Thanks,

As long as the structure is the same use a funnel. Then output the funnel to your target.
