Oracle Enterprise stage errors out

I am bringing in 15million+ rows into a join using an OraEnt stage. Job aborts with error messages such as "Unspecified error", "pipe write faile","fileReadAck()" etc. When I put the data of this stage into a dataset and use the dataset to do the join, the job works. An...

How are the commands dsrecords and orchadmin run in a Windows environment? Do I log in to command prompt and run them?

Pros and Cons of DS Windows vs Unix

I have thoroughly searched this forum and other internet sites such as ittoolbox but couldn't find a whole lot on the specifics. Here are a few points I found: 1)Windows OS requires far more server reboots than Unix 2)Unix allows much larger file size handling 3)If source data is in Unix, DS on Unix...

Job Monitor and Show Performance Statistics issue

I have 3 issues but all of them seem related so I am posting them together. 1) Performance statistics not showing for some jobs (it is showing for some others): Job design: 2 Ora Enterprise stages as sources. OraEnt1 goes to a modify and on to Lkp1. OraEnt2 goes to Lkp1 directly. Lkp1 goes to Transf...

That's exactly what I am saying. If my commit level is 5000 then I should be able to insert 5000 (which has a row with PK of 123) and I should be able to update 5000 (which also has a row with updates on PK of 123). If I am understanding Ray's post correctly, this value cannot be greater than 1.

Ray, so are you saying that Datastage sends a row through the insert link and then one through the update link and then nsert link? What if rows/transaction is 5000? I would think all 5000 rows would be sent in the sequence insert(5000)/update(5000)/insert(5000).

Insert/Update sequence

I am inserting data and updating data using output from the same transformer stage using 2 different OraOCI9 stages. In the Link Ordering, the insert is first and update is second. If I have a record coming in which needs to be inserted first and updated second, shouldn't the insert happen first and...

I can trap the value after the execution of the ExecCommand stage in the Triggers tab or in the next stage. However, by that time, the warning has been logged which I want to prevent.

Where would be the best way to trap the return value from the job so that I can prevent the warning?

Thanks Craig for your response. -jobstatus: Waits for the job to complete and returns an exit status -wait: Waits for the job to complete Can you tell me why a successful exit status of 1 be considered a warning in the log? I am not using a JobActivity stage because the job name is a parameter, i.e....

The job executes fine without any warnings or errors of any kind. However, the ExecCommand stage returns with a message in the Director: dsjob did not finis...

I saw your routines. It doesn't have one that works with a second and a timestamp. I guess I'll have to manipulate an existing one.

Ideal sequence of jobs in a sequence

I have 30+ jobs and none of them are dependent on another. Some of them take a long time to finish while others finish in seconds. What would be the ideal way to place them in a job sequence so that performance for the overall sequence is best?
