Hi Craig,

Here is the warning.

sf_InterimFile,0: Field "PARAS" delimiter not seen, at offset: 5

If i change schema file to varchar(1) it is working fine.

according to IBM this is fixed in patch 96576 for DS EE 7.5.1A; we are yet to try it in our environment.

The "file name column" property must refer to a column (type VarChar probably) that is defined on the output link. Is this the case with your design? The same is true for the file row number property, if you use that. yes, and, as i mentioned, it gets populated - just with the wrong data.

The Sequential File stage can generate two additional columns, one containing the file name of the file currently being read, the other containing the line number within that file of the record currently being read. But, as noted, it may be wise to set APT_IMPORT_PATTERN_USES_FILESET to False. Or a...

Re: Capturing File name of the file being loaded

there is "almost" working more elegant solution here: http://dsxchange.com/viewtopic.php?p=210536 however, it does not quite work :( You need to develop job with parameter to store file name ( assuming you know file anme before you read that). Use transformer stage to map the parmater name...

this is precisely my experience as well - APT_IMPORT_PATTERN_USES_FILESET causes each node from apt config to pick up a file name and use that for all the files it processes. so in my case i have two nodes and 200 files, as a result (if i have APT_IMPORT_PATTERN_USES_FILESET set to true for the job)...

Re: size of the logs affecting job performance

thanks for your input guys. ibm acknowledged the problem and provided the patch. in some cases log files get corrupted, then performance drops through the floor. this seems to be inherent to the deficiencies with universe db file hashing that stores the logs. if this bites you, ask support for a pat...

kenneth, thank you. so you are saying that having a project-level purging setting and even clearing the logs in the director is not enough - i should do an extra step to clear them? others: we have purging setup - we used to keep 3 days, but that was slowing things down. now if we purge the logs rig...
