Before/After Stage subroutines
Hi,
This is the first time I am trying to use a Before or After stage subroutine in a DataStage job. I have Information Server 8.1 installed in my system.
I have copied the below text from the Parallel job Developer guide,
To specify a routine, click the stage properties button in the toolbar to open the Stage Properties dialog box. The General tab contains the following fields: v Before-stage subroutine and Input Value. Contain the name (and value) of a subroutine that is executed before the stage starts to process any data. v After-stage subroutine and Input Value. Contain the name (and value) of a subroutine that is executed after the stage has processed the data.
But when I open the stage properties and select Stage -- >General tab, I do not find the Before-Stage or AFter-Stage subroutine option for any stages. Similarly, I do not find for calling routines in the Job Properties also. I am just wondering if this option has been removed from this latest version of DataStage. Kindly help me..
Thanks

I am not at a DataStage client at the moment, but know that I have used Before/After job routines at Version several times in the past so they are still in the product. I would guess that the before/after routines in stages might refer to BASIC transform stages, though.

You would have opened a sequencer. Its present only in job propeties
of a 'JOB'

Re: Before/After Stage subroutines
Hi All,
I am checking in Job properties and not in the sequencer properties. I have pretty much worked with DataStage but not on shell scripts and routines. So, I do very well know to access the job properties and stage properties.
The version I am using is 8.1.0. I am still surprised why am I not able to see this.
If I had a provision, I would have provided the screen shot of the same here.
Thanks,
Praveen

Hi dsuser_cai,
I am looking at Parallel job. I have copied a text from the parallel job developer guide in my first thread of this post. It says that we can call before/after job subroutine in job properties as well as in transformer stage.
Thanks.

Hi Praveen
You are correct. Parallel job does not have before-after stage subroutine in transformer stage. Can you tell me in which scenario you want to use this feature?

Parallel jobs do support before-job and after-job subroutines (which are executed by the Conductor process) but do not support before-stage or after-stage subroutines.
The before/after subroutines are server routines whose type is before/after subroutine.
