BASIC Functions

Post by CelesteT »

Does all BASIC functions work in SERVER and PARALLEL job?

I was able to create a Change() function in a Server job, but it was not recognized in a Parallel job.

How do we know which functions work in Parallel???

Is there a built-in function that captures when the job start and end?

Thanks!

Hi Celeste,

The server edition uses UNIVERSE BASIC functions and parallel edition uses ORCHESTRATE C++ functions. They are entirely different from each other.

You can search the Datastage Server Edition. Last week there was a discussion on logsum and there was a post where the logsum can be retrieved using dsjob command.

dsjob is a command line interface for running server/parallel jobs. So from the dos prompt(windows) using dsjob command you can run the parallel job and output the logsummary to a text file.

Hope this helps.

Pls look into this link as well which will give you vital information on how to use the forum.
