How to avoid overruns on Hash Files, FileSets, & DataSet
Hello Experts:
How to avoid overruns on Hash Files, FileSets, & DataSets?
What measures to be taken when overruns takes place during the job execution?
Pls. this is very important for me to understand.

What do you mean by overruns. If you mean re-running the same job then it depends upon what option you specify. For example for hashed files if you specify "clear file" then it will do as it says, clear the file and then load it again.

Exactly. Even I didn't get what the OP meant by 'overrun'?DSguru2B wrote:What do you mean by overruns.
Chandan, Could you explain what exactly you mean by overrun?

Are you looking into situtions which can fill up the allocated space for a Hash file, FileSets, & DataSets?
If yes these conditions are specific to your OS.
Of course there are ways to alter the defaults.

Finding answers is simple, all you need to do is come up with the correct questions.

If you referring to over writing the created file during other flows, you have a option to re write it after clearing and etc.,
If you referring to Memory overflow when loaded into Physical memory, it is again depends on your input data size and available memory size.
If you are referring to running out of space, its again need to be decided based on the input data size.
With this vague question, posters are prompted to reply at their own observation. So as pls give the specific information to get specific answer.

I am sorry to get back to the forum due to weekend. Anyways, I am refering to the max size that these stages allow say 2gb.
I have a server/parallel jobs and we get source data from Mainframes in a
Seq.file -> Hash File/DataSet/FileSet -> Database.
how to take care of the situations when during the execution time (production job) it goes beyond that limits?
What measures to be taken when overruns takes place during the job execution?
What check we can take to avoid situations?

You need to estimate the size, before hand.
For example if you need to store more than 2 Gb of data in a hashed file, you can resize the file to 64 Bit.
You can use HFC calculator to get estimates of the size of your hashed files.

Hashed files can be created or resized with 64-bit internal pointers to avoid the 2GB limit.

During the production we get data sometimes more than 2gb.
If you are not sure if your data is going to be below 2 Gb, you need to go for a 64-bit, to be on the safer side.
Can you explain more about the "HFC calculator", Pls.?
HFC.exe is available on your DS installation CD. You can search in the forum for more details on it.
How do we keep track if the load gets bigger than 2gb during productoion jobs.
If the data gets bigger than 2 Gb, you will have problems.
Can you provide ideas wrt HF/DS/FS, pls?
