Hi there.

Here's the thing.

I need to call a unix script from a parallel job. I need to pass a input parameter (column from a source) and then get a output from the script that will be send to a target stage (sequencial file for instance). That script takes a sigle input, make some calculation, and then returns a single value.

I know there's a way to call a shell script from job properties (after-before sub) but I need to process each row from my source

Tried with encode, external filter stage, but no success.

Thank you very much.

There is a Stage for that. Try the External Source Stage I believe.

Hi.

Didn't work. External Source is pretty much a way to generate a start data flow. I already have a source and I need to process each row (transform stage). I managed to do it in server job using a routine to run a unix script, works actually quite well but need to build it in parallel job.



Thanks anyway!

Have you thought of using a build op?

Hi.

Build op? Heard of but i've never used them. Considering I don't have a related/proper build op example as a starting point, it can backfire by not having enough time.

Thanks PaulVL.
