Data File Compression stage
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2007 10:39 am
Hi,
In our existing applications we generate different flavors of files (Text, XML) and compress them to Zip, GZ et al and then upload these to FTP sites.
Current workaround is to execute the compression scripts (ExecuteSH et al) and then come back to Datastage and continue the job.
If we need to interrogate the failures or status of this external operation that happened outside datastage's control, extra effort is required.
Would be great to have this as a stage and be able to integrate within the workflow....
Same is true if we have to uncompress a downloaded file and extract it to work with its contents....
Just a wish...
Thanks,
