The files were sorted correctly according to the right keys. But what did the magic was the dummy sort stages before the join, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G :D , thank you so much for the tip! I would not have figured out this workaround on my own (BTW, still, it makes me wonder isn't there a "proper" way...

Join on large file takes long time

I would appreciate your opinion on a join that I need to do but it's taking way too much time. I must be missing some important point here. File 1: 118 rows (eventually should be 8,000,000+) Dataset hash partitioned, sorted by key (not unique) File 2: 21,000,000 rows Dataset hash partitioned, sorted...

We are on 8.7 and just activated the Operations Console. The jobs are launched from a script after arrival of a new file is detected.

We'll query the console DB from Nagios, thanks for your help.

Monitoring DataStage jobs with Nagios

I would like to hear solutions and your experiences with monitoring DataStage jobs from Nagios or from any other external tool.

The requirement is to raise alerts on all jobs that finish with status <> OK, preferably real time or to run a scan every 10 minutes.

I had the same warning ("Missing record delimiter "", saw EOF instead") while reading from HDFS with BDFS stage. Changing the "Final delimiter =none" or "=end" didn't help. When I converted the files from DOS format to UNIX format I stopped getting this error ...

Thank you! I actually looked at this thread, and as noted in my original post, the DS project is not marked as "Generate operational metadata". Am I missing something here? I found some post outside of the DSXchange forum, suggesting to "set DS_NO_PROCESS_METADATA to 1". I'll giv...
