Hi, It seems that in "Upsert", DataStage does update first and if not found then insert but I also faced the similar problem. In fact Datastage does an "Insert" first. So duplicate records may exists in this case. So to avoid this situation you have to handle it by Database uniqu...

Hi,

There should not be any problem in this design. Check 2 things. If Z is a nullable column then handle null before join. Other is check the partitioning. Better if you use hash partition on the joining keys.

Hi,

Check the Osh definition of your job. You can find it by Job Properties -> Generated Osh. This definition is not in sync with your job design.

Hi,

If your primary key of the table is a running sequence then you have to modify your insert SQl that you are using in datastage (Check the datastage manual for Oracle insert). Otherwise you can use a "Upsert" option for Update/Insert operation.

Hi,

You can't compile a shared container. You can only save it.

You just try to attach the shared container in your main job and define the input and output links of the container along with table definitions very carefully. Then compile the job. I think it will work.

You can use this

If IsNull(TMMBR_ADJ_A) = 1 Then <Some default value or Space(<Field Length>) Else If TMMBR_ADJ_A > 0 then 'Y' else 'N'.

Datastage left outer and right outer join works like database. If you change the link ordering, it will work differently.
