Yes, that's what we have done.

Just wanted to check if it is possible in column generator thereby avoiding use of transformer.

I did check the file.
THere is only one variable (NMEMOFF) related to NLS in the file. I am not sure if this indicates that NLS is enabled.

Hi,

We have checked the NLS settings for source and target database and these are the same.
Therefore, the issue seems to be with DS NLS settings itself.

We have asked the Admin to provide details of the NLS setup as these are not accesible to us.

Will post them as and when we get updates.

Hi,

As per the parjdev pdf, if NLS is enabled, the NLS Map tab will be available. I do not see this tab.

Are there any default NLS settings? Where can I obtain the information about this?

I have checked in Admin and the NLS settings are disabled for viewing for developers.

For <tag/>, there is an option in the XML output stage itself which lets you choose the format you desire for closing tags. For your second requirement, unfortunately, XML stages do not allow multiple repeating tags at the same level. So, you will need to create dummy tags to put the repeating tags ...

Thanks for the reply Kumar. The data that I need to delete is not 50% of the table but it still causes the transaction log to overflow. Deleting chunks with loops seems the preferred approach. Could you please explain what you mean by "delete on some chunk with help of loop in SP. " ? Am n...

What are the options when you want to delete based on a key, say date, and not truncate the entire table? Selecting the rows from the database first and then using the keys to delete is one. But wouldn't that lead to select of millions of rows from the table, landing to a dataset and then firing the...

One way of using a common null value for all fields is to read the fields as Varchar instead of char. Later in the job you can turn them back to Char.
