Not quite sure what you are trying to do, but I would take and use a sf > transformer > and three seq files as out put. put a constraint on the first column to divert the records to the appropriate file a.txt,b.txt,c.txt. I don't know why you are using a folder stage. a folder stage is used to read ...

Well as previously stated Datastage has no limit. That being said, I have never nor would I ever load x amount of tables within the same job unless it was a 0ne time load and even then it would have to be adventagious to me.. For instance we load 180 * 2 (two diff. Companys) use diff. Instance Ids. ...

Personally, Unless you are quite familiar with the xmeta database, I would not mess with it. You could cause more problems then you want. Anytime you make back door changes to anything nothing good comes of it. Thats why the provisions are there to handle this issue from the front door. But, it is y...

I am sure you do,
So then take the definition,
Look at the flow of your jobs makeing sure they run in the correct order and no other job is writing to the wrong dataset over writting your results.

The Problem appears to be your design.
This is not a datastage issue this is a developer issue.

My answer still sticks,
write a korn shell script to execute the DS jobs
and return a value based on -jobstatus

execute IT from powershell.
Its an app so no cmd window is going to open.

I assume you are using powershell because you are using SQL server and you want to know when the job completes so that you can execute something on SQL server afterwards? I don't know how you are executing your dsjob commands, but I would write a script.ksh on the datastage server, thats a korn shel...

Thats a database thing. They are two seperate processes. If all the rows in the first process completed correctly then they will commit regardless of what the second stage does. If this cannot happen then I would load the tables in two seperate jobs. I would then put some logic in so that if job two...
