DATASTAGE QUESTIONS

1. What is the flow of loading data into fact & dimensional tables?
A) Fact table - Table with Collection of Foreign Keys corresponding to the Primary
Keys in Dimensional table. Consists of fields with numeric values.
Dimension table - Table with Unique Primary Key.
Load - Data should be first loaded into dimensional table. Based on the primary key
values in dimensional table, the data should be loaded into Fact table.

2. What is the default cache size? How do you change the cache size if needed?
A. Default cache size is 256 MB. We can increase it by going into Datastage
Administrator and selecting the Tunable Tab and specify the cache size over there.

3. What are types of Hashed File?


A) Hashed File is classified broadly into 2 types.
a) Static - Sub divided into 17 types based on Primary Key Pattern.
b) Dynamic - sub divided into 2 types
i) Generic ii) Specific.

Dynamic files do not perform as well as a well, designed static file, but do perform better
than a badly designed one. When creating a dynamic file you can specify the following
Although all of these have default values)

By Default Hashed file is "Dynamic - Type Random 30 D"

4. What does a Config File in parallel extender consist of?


A) Config file consists of the following.
a) Number of Processes or Nodes.
b) Actual Disk Storage Location.

5. What is Modulus and Splitting in Dynamic Hashed File?


A. In a Hashed File, the size of the file keeps changing randomly.
If the size of the file increases it is called as "Modulus".
If the size of the file decreases it is called as "Splitting".

6. What are Stage Variables, Derivations and Constants?


A. Stage Variable - An intermediate processing variable that retains value during read
and doesn’t pass the value into target column.
Derivation - Expression that specifies value to be passed on to the target column.
Constant - Conditions that are either true or false that specifies flow of data with a link.

7. Types of views in Datastage Director?

of 6.0) to incorporate the parallel processing capabilities. Now Datastage has purchased
Orchestrate and integrated it with Datastage XE and released a new version Datastage 6.0
i.e Parallel Extender.

10. Importance of Surrogate Key in Data warehousing?


A) Surrogate Key is a Primary Key for a Dimension table. Most importance of using it is
it is independent of underlying database. i.e. Surrogate Key is not affected by the changes
going on with a database.

Q 23 What is Meta Data Repository?


Meta Data is a data about the data.
It also contains
 Query statistics
 ETL statistics
 Business subject area
 Source Information
 Target Information
 Source to Target mapping Information.

Q 24 What is Data Stage Engine?


It is a JAVA engine running at the background.

Q 25 What is Dimensional Modeling?


Dimensional Modeling is a logical design technique that seeks to present the data
in a standard framework that is, intuitive and allows for high performance access.

Q 26 What is Star Schema?


Star Schema is a de-normalized multi-dimensional model. It contains centralized fact
tables surrounded by dimensions table.
Dimension Table: It contains a primary key and description about the fact table.
Fact Table: It contains foreign keys to the dimension tables, measures and aggregates.

Q 27 What is surrogate Key?


It is a 4-byte integer which replaces the transaction / business / OLTP key in the
dimension table. We can store up to 2 billion record.

Q 28 Why we need surrogate key?


It is used for integrating the data may help better for primary key.
Index maintenance, joins, table size, key updates, disconnected inserts and
partitioning.

Q 29 What is Snowflake schema?


It is partially normalized dimensional model in which at two represents least one
dimension or more hierarchy related tables.

Q 30 Explain Types of Fact Tables?


Factless Fact: It contains only foreign keys to the dimension tables.
Additive Fact: Measures can be added across any dimensions.
Semi-Additive: Measures can be added across some dimensions. Eg, % age, discount
Non-Additive: Measures cannot be added across any dimensions. Eg, Average

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 7 of 202☻


Conformed Fact: The equation or the measures of the two fact tables are the same under
the facts are measured across the dimensions with a same set of measures.

Q 31 Explain the Types of Dimension Tables?


Conformed Dimension: If a dimension table is connected to more than one fact table,
the granularity that is defined in the dimension table is common across between the fact
tables.
Junk Dimension: The Dimension table, which contains only flags.
Monster Dimension: If rapidly changes in Dimension are known as Monster Dimension.
De-generative Dimension: It is line item-oriented fact table design.

Q 32 What are stage variables?


Stage variables are declaratives in Transformer Stage used to store values. Stage
variables are active at the run time. (Because memory is allocated at the run time).

Q 33 What is sequencer?
It sets the sequence of execution of server jobs.

Q 34 What are Active and Passive stages?


Active Stage: Active stage model the flow of data and provide mechanisms for
combining data streams, aggregating data and converting data from one data type to
another. Eg, Transformer, aggregator, sort, Row Merger etc.
Passive Stage: A Passive stage handles access to Database for the extraction or writing
of data. Eg, IPC stage, File types, Universe, Unidata, DRS stage etc.

Q 35 What is ODS?
Operational Data Store is a staging area where data can be rolled back.

Q 36 What are Macros?


They are built from Data Stage functions and do not require arguments.
A number of macros are provided in the JOBCONTROL.H file to facilitate getting
information about the current job, and links and stages belonging to the current job.
These can be used in expressions (for example for use in Transformer stages), job control
routines, filenames and table names, and before/after subroutines.

These macros provide the functionality of using the DSGetProjectInfo, DSGetJobInfo,


DSGetStageInfo, and DSGetLinkInfo functions with the DSJ.ME token as the
JobHandle and can be used in all active stages and before/after subroutines. The macros
provide the functionality for all the possible InfoType arguments for the DSGet…Info
functions. See the Function call help topics for more details.

The available macros are:


DSHostName
DSProjectName
DSJobStatus
DSJobName

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 8 of 202☻

DSLinkName

1) Examples

2) To obtain the name of the current job:

3) MyName = DSJobName

To obtain the full current stage name:

MyName = DSJobName : ″.″ : DSStageName

Q 37 What is keyMgtGetNextValue?
It is a Built-in transform it generates Sequential numbers. Its input type is literal string &
output type is string.

Q 38 What are stages?


The stages are either passive or active stages.
Passive stages handle access to databases for extracting or writing data.
Active stages model the flow of data and provide mechanisms for combining data
streams, aggregating data, and converting data from one data type to another.

Q 39 What index is created on Data Warehouse?


Bitmap index is created in Data Warehouse.

Q 40 What is container?
A container is a group of stages and links. Containers enable you to simplify and
modularize your server job designs by replacing complex areas of the diagram with a
single container stage. You can also use shared containers as a way of incorporating
server job functionality into parallel jobs.
DataStage provides two types of container:

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 9 of 202☻


• Local containers. These are created within a job and are only accessible by that
job. A local container is edited in a tabbed page of the job’s Diagram window.
• Shared containers. These are created separately and are stored in the Repository
in the same way that jobs are. There are two types of shared container

Q 41 What is function? ( Job Control – Examples of Transform Functions )


Functions take arguments and return a value.
 BASIC functions: A function performs mathematical or string manipulations on
the arguments supplied to it, and return a value. Some functions have 0
arguments; most have 1 or more. Arguments are always in parentheses, separated
by commas, as shown in this general syntax:
FunctionName (argument, argument)
 DataStage BASIC functions: These functions can be used in a job control
routine, which is defined as part of a job’s properties and allows other jobs to be
run and controlled from the first job. Some of the functions can also be used for
getting status information on the current job; these are useful in active stage
expressions and before- and after-stage subroutines.

To do this ... Use this function ...

Answer:
There are 3 types of views in Datastage Director
a) Job View - Dates of Jobs Compiled.
b) Log View - Status of Job last Run
c) Status View - Warning Messages, Event Messages, Program Generated Messages.

Question: Did you Parameterize the job or hard-coded the values in the jobs?
Answer:
Always parameterized the job. Either the values are coming from Job Properties or from
a ‘Parameter Manager’ – a third part tool. There is no way you will hard–code some
parameters in your jobs. The often Parameterized variables in a job are: DB DSN name,
username, password, dates W.R.T for the data to be looked against at.

Question: Have you ever involved in updating the DS versions like DS 5.X, if so tell
us some the steps you have taken in doing so?
Answer:
Yes.
The following are some of the steps:
1. Definitely take a back up of the whole project(s) by exporting the project as a .dsx file
2. See that you are using the same parent folder for the new version also for your old
jobs using the hard-coded file path to work.
3. After installing the new version import the old project(s) and you have to compile
them all again. You can use 'Compile All' tool for this.
4. Make sure that all your DB DSN's are created with the same name as old ones. This
step is for moving DS from one machine to another.
5. In case if you are just upgrading your DB from Oracle 8i to Oracle 9i there is tool on
DS CD that can do this for you.
6. Do not stop the 6.0 server before the upgrade, version 7.0 install process collects
project information during the upgrade. There is NO rework (recompilation of
existing jobs/routines) needed after the upgrade.

Question: How did you handle reject data?


Answer:
Typically a Reject-link is defined and the rejected data is loaded back into data
warehouse. So Reject link has to be defined every Output link you wish to collect
rejected data. Rejected data is typically bad data like duplicates of Primary keys or null-
rows where data is expected.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 16 of 202☻


Question: What are other Performance tunings you have done in your last project
to increase the performance of slowly running jobs?
Answer:
 Staged the data coming from ODBC/OCI/DB2UDB stages or any database on the
server using Hash/Sequential files for optimum performance also for data recovery in
case job aborts.
 Tuned the OCI stage for 'Array Size' and 'Rows per Transaction' numerical values for
faster inserts, updates and selects.
 Tuned the 'Project Tunables' in Administrator for better performance.
 Used sorted data for Aggregator.
 Sorted the data as much as possible in DB and reduced the use of DS-Sort for better
performance of jobs.
 Removed the data not used from the source as early as possible in the job.
 Worked with DB-admin to create appropriate Indexes on tables for better
performance of DS queries.
 Converted some of the complex joins/business in DS to Stored Procedures on DS for
faster execution of the jobs.
 If an input file has an excessive number of rows and can be split-up then use standard
logic to run jobs in parallel.
 Before writing a routine or a transform, make sure that there is not the functionality
required in one of the standard routines supplied in the sdk or ds utilities categories.
 Constraints are generally CPU intensive and take a significant amount of time to
process. This may be the case if the constraint calls routines or external macros but if
it is inline code then the overhead will be minimal.
 Try to have the constraints in the 'Selection' criteria of the jobs itself. This will
eliminate the unnecessary records even getting in before joins are made.
 Tuning should occur on a job-by-job basis.
 Use the power of DBMS.
 Try not to use a sort stage when you can use an ORDER BY clause in the database.
 Using a constraint to filter a record set is much slower than performing a SELECT …
WHERE….
 Make every attempt to use the bulk loader for your particular database. Bulk loaders
are generally faster than using ODBC or OLE.

Question: Tell me one situation from your last project, where you had faced
problem and How did u solve it?
Answer:
1. The jobs in which data is read directly from OCI stages are running extremely slow. I
had to stage the data before sending to the transformer to make the jobs run faster.
2. The job aborts in the middle of loading some 500,000 rows. Have an option either
cleaning/deleting the loaded data and then run the fixed job or run the job again from
the row the job has aborted. To make sure the load is proper we opted the former.

Question: Tell me the environment in your last projects


Answer:
Give the OS of the Server and the OS of the Client of your recent most project

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 17 of 202☻


Question: How did u connect with DB2 in your last project?
Answer:
Most of the times the data was sent to us in the form of flat files. The data is dumped and
sent to us. In some cases were we need to connect to DB2 for look-ups as an instance
then we used ODBC drivers to connect to DB2 (or) DB2-UDB depending the situation
and availability. Certainly DB2-UDB is better in terms of performance as you know the
native drivers are always better than ODBC drivers. 'iSeries Access ODBC Driver
9.00.02.02' - ODBC drivers to connect to AS400/DB2.

Question: What are Routines and where/how are they written and have you written
any routines before?
Answer:
Routines are stored in the Routines branch of the DataStage Repository, where you can
create, view or edit.
The following are different types of Routines:
1. Transform Functions
2. Before-After Job subroutines
3. Job Control Routines

Question: How did you handle an 'Aborted' sequencer?


Answer:
In almost all cases we have to delete the data inserted by this from DB manually and fix
the job and then run the job again.

Question: What are Sequencers?


Answer:
Sequencers are job control programs that execute other jobs with preset Job parameters.

Question: Read the String functions in DS


Answer:
Functions like [] -> sub-string function and ':' -> concatenation operator
Syntax:
string [ [ start, ] length ]
string [ delimiter, instance, repeats ]

Question: What will you in a situation where somebody wants to send you a file and
use that file as an input or reference and then run job.
Answer:
• Under Windows: Use the 'WaitForFileActivity' under the Sequencers and then run the
job. May be you can schedule the sequencer around the time the file is expected to
arrive.
• Under UNIX: Poll for the file. Once the file has start the job or sequencer depending
on the file.
Question: What is the utility you use to schedule the jobs on a UNIX server other
than using Ascential Director?
Answer:
Use crontab utility along with dsexecute() function along with proper parameters passed.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 18 of 202☻


Question: Did you work in UNIX environment?
Answer:
Yes. One of the most important requirements.

Question: How would call an external Java function which are not supported by
DataStage?
Answer:
Starting from DS 6.0 we have the ability to call external Java functions using a Java
package from Ascential. In this case we can even use the command line to invoke the
Java function and write the return values from the Java program (if any) and use that files
as a source in DataStage job.

Question: How will you determine the sequence of jobs to load into data warehouse?
Answer:
First we execute the jobs that load the data into Dimension tables, then Fact tables, then
load the Aggregator tables (if any).

Question: The above might raise another question: Why do we have to load the
dimensional tables first, then fact tables:
Answer:
As we load the dimensional tables the keys (primary) are generated and these keys
(primary) are Foreign keys in Fact tables.

Question: Does the selection of 'Clear the table and Insert rows' in the ODBC stage
send a Truncate statement to the DB or does it do some kind of Delete logic.
Answer:
There is no TRUNCATE on ODBC stages. It is Clear table blah blah and that is a delete
from statement. On an OCI stage such as Oracle, you do have both Clear and Truncate
options. They are radically different in permissions (Truncate requires you to have alter
table permissions where Delete doesn't).

Question: How do you rename all of the jobs to support your new File-naming
conventions?
Answer:
Create an Excel spreadsheet with new and old names. Export the whole project as a dsx.
Write a Perl program, which can do a simple rename of the strings looking up the Excel
file. Then import the new dsx file probably into a new project for testing. Recompile all
jobs. Be cautious that the name of the jobs has also been changed in your job control jobs
or Sequencer jobs. So you have to make the necessary changes to these Sequencers.

Question: When should we use ODS?


Answer:
DWH's are typically read only, batch updated on a schedule
ODS's are maintained in more real time, trickle fed constantly

Question: What other ETL's you have worked with?
Answer:
Informatica and also DataJunction if it is present in your Resume.

Question: How good are you with your PL/SQL?


Answer:
On the scale of 1-10 say 8.5-9

Question: What versions of DS you worked with?


Answer:
DS 7.5, DS 7.0.2, DS 6.0, DS 5.2

Question: What's the difference between Datastage Developers...?


Answer:
Datastage developer is one how will code the jobs. Datastage designer is how will design
the job, I mean he will deal with blue prints and he will design the jobs the stages that are
required in developing the code

Question: What are the requirements for your ETL tool?


Answer:
Do you have large sequential files (1 million rows, for example) that need to be compared
every day versus yesterday?
If so, then ask how each vendor would do that. Think about what process they are going
to do. Are they requiring you to load yesterday’s file into a table and do lookups?
If so, RUN!! Are they doing a match/merge routine that knows how to process this in
sequential files? Then maybe they are the right one. It all depends on what you need the
ETL to do.
If you are small enough in your data sets, then either would probably be OK.

Question: What are the main differences between Ascential DataStage and
Informatica PowerCenter?
Answer:

Chuck Kelley’s Answer: You are right; they have pretty much similar functionality.
However, what are the requirements for your ETL tool? Do you have large sequential
files (1 million rows, for example) that need to be compared every day versus yesterday?
If so, then ask how each vendor would do that. Think about what process they are going
to do. Are they requiring you to load yesterday’s file into a table and do lookups? If so,
RUN!! Are they doing a match/merge routine that knows how to process this in
sequential files? Then maybe they are the right one. It all depends on what you need the
ETL to do. If you are small enough in your data sets, then either would probably be OK.

Les Barbusinski’s Answer: Without getting into specifics, here are some differences
you may want to explore with each vendor:

• Does the tool use a relational or a proprietary database to store its Meta data and
scripts? If proprietary, why?

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 20 of 202☻


• What add-ons are available for extracting data from industry-standard ERP,
Accounting, and CRM packages?
• Can the tool’s Meta data be integrated with third-party data modeling and/or
business intelligence tools? If so, how and with which ones?
• How well does each tool handle complex transformations, and how much external
scripting is required?
• What kinds of languages are supported for ETL script extensions?

Almost any ETL tool will look like any other on the surface. The trick is to find out
which one will work best in your environment. The best way I’ve found to make this
determination is to ascertain how successful each vendor’s clients have been using their
product. Especially clients who closely resemble your shop in terms of size, industry, in-
house skill sets, platforms, source systems, data volumes and transformation complexity.

Ask both vendors for a list of their customers with characteristics similar to your own that
have used their ETL product for at least a year. Then interview each client (preferably
several people at each site) with an eye toward identifying unexpected problems, benefits,
or quirkiness with the tool that have been encountered by that customer. Ultimately, ask
each customer – if they had it all to do over again – whether or not they’d choose the
same tool and why? You might be surprised at some of the answers.

Joyce Bischoff’s Answer: You should do a careful research job when selecting products.
You should first document your requirements, identify all possible products and evaluate
each product against the detailed requirements. There are numerous ETL products on the
market and it seems that you are looking at only two of them. If you are unfamiliar with
the many products available, you may refer to www.tdan.com, the Data Administration
Newsletter, for product lists.

If you ask the vendors, they will certainly be able to tell you which of their product’s
features are stronger than the other product. Ask both vendors and compare the answers,
which may or may not be totally accurate. After you are very familiar with the products,
call their references and be sure to talk with technical people who are actually using the
product. You will not want the vendor to have a representative present when you speak
with someone at the reference site. It is also not a good idea to depend upon a high-level
manager at the reference site for a reliable opinion of the product. Managers may paint a
very rosy picture of any selected product so that they do not look like they selected an
inferior product.

Question: How many places u can call Routines?


Answer:
Four Places u can call
1. Transform of routine
a. Date Transformation
b. Upstring Transformation
2. Transform of the Before & After Subroutines
3. XML transformation

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 21 of 202☻


4. Web base transformation

Question: What is the Batch Program and how can generate?


Answer: Batch program is the program it's generate run time to maintain by the
Datastage itself but u can easy to change own the basis of your requirement (Extraction,
Transformation, Loading) .Batch program are generate depends your job nature either
simple job or sequencer job, you can see this program on job control option.

Question: Suppose that 4 job control by the sequencer like (job 1, job 2, job 3, job 4
) if job 1 have 10,000 row ,after run the job only 5000 data has been loaded in target
table remaining are not loaded and your job going to be aborted then.. How can
short out the problem?
Answer:
Suppose job sequencer synchronies or control 4 job but job 1 have problem, in this
condition should go director and check it what type of problem showing either data type
problem, warning massage, job fail or job aborted, If job fail means data type problem or
missing column action .So u should go Run window ->Click-> Tracing->Performance or
In your target table ->general -> action-> select this option here two option
(i) On Fail -- Commit , Continue
(ii) On Skip -- Commit, Continue.
First u check how much data already load after then select on skip option then
continue and what remaining position data not loaded then select On Fail , Continue
...... Again Run the job defiantly u gets successful massage

Question: What happens if RCP is disable?


Answer:
In such case OSH has to perform Import and export every time when the job runs and the
processing time job is also increased...

Question: How do you rename all of the jobs to support your new File-naming
conventions?
Answer: Create a Excel spreadsheet with new and old names. Export the whole project
as a dsx. Write a Perl program, which can do a simple rename of the strings looking up
the Excel file. Then import the new dsx file probably into a new project for testing.
Recompile all jobs. Be cautious that the name of the jobs has also been changed in your
job control jobs or Sequencer jobs. So you have to make the necessary changes to these
Sequencers.

Question: What will you in a situation where somebody wants to send you a file and
use that file as an input or reference and then run job.

Answer: A. Under Windows: Use the 'WaitForFileActivity' under the Sequencers and
then run the job. May be you can schedule the sequencer around the time the file is
expected to arrive.
B. Under UNIX: Poll for the file. Once the file has start the job or sequencer depending
on the file

Question: What are Sequencers?

Answer: Sequencers are job control programs that execute other jobs with preset Job
parameters.

Question: How did you handle an 'Aborted' sequencer?

Answer: In almost all cases we have to delete the data inserted by this from DB manually
and fix the job and then run the job again.

Question34: What is the difference between the Filter stage and the Switch stage?

Ans: There are two main differences, and probably some minor ones as well. The two
main differences are as follows.
1) The Filter stage can send one input row to more than one output link. The Switch
stage can not - the C switch construct has an implicit break in every case.
2) The Switch stage is limited to 128 output links; the Filter stage can have a
theoretically unlimited number of output links. (Note: this is not a challenge!)

Question: How can i achieve constraint based loading using datastage7.5.My target
tables have inter dependencies i.e. Primary key foreign key constraints. I want my
primary key tables to be loaded first and then my foreign key tables and also primary key
tables should be committed before the foreign key tables are executed. How can I go
about it?

Ans:1) Create a Job Sequencer to load you tables in Sequential mode


In the sequencer Call all Primary Key tables loading Jobs first and followed by Foreign
key tables, when triggering the Foreign tables load Job trigger them only when Primary
Key load Jobs run Successfully ( i.e. OK trigger)

2) To improve the performance of the Job, you can disable all the constraints on the
tables and load them. Once loading done, check for the integrity of the data. Which does
not meet raise exceptional data and cleanse them.

This only a suggestion, normally when loading on constraints are up, will drastically
performance will go down.

3) If you use Star schema modeling, when you create physical DB from the model, you
can delete all constraints and the referential integrity would be maintained in the ETL
process by referring all your dimension keys while loading fact tables. Once all
dimensional keys are assigned to a fact then dimension and fact can be loaded together.
At the same time RI is being maintained at ETL process level.

Question: How do you merge two files in DS?

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 23 of 202☻


Ans: Either use Copy command as a Before-job subroutine if the metadata of the 2 files
are same or create a job to concatenate the 2 files into one, if the metadata is different.

Question: How do you eliminate duplicate rows?

Ans: Data Stage provides us with a stage Remove Duplicates in Enterprise edition. Using
that stage we can eliminate the duplicates based on a key column.

Question: How do you pass filename as the parameter for a job?

Ans: While job development we can create a parameter 'FILE_NAME' and the value can
be passed while

Question: How did you handle an 'Aborted' sequencer?

Ans: In almost all cases we have to delete the data inserted by this from DB manually
and fix the job and then run the job again.

Question: Is there a mechanism available to export/import individual DataStage


ETL jobs from the UNIX command line?
Ans: Try dscmdexport and dscmdimport. Won't handle the "individual job" requirement.
You can only export full projects from the command line.
You can find the export and import executables on the client machine usually someplace
like: C:\Program Files\Ascential\DataStage.

Question: Diff. between JOIN stage and MERGE stage.


Answer:
JOIN: Performs join operations on two or more data sets input to the stage and then
outputs the resulting dataset.
MERGE: Combines a sorted master data set with one or more sorted updated data sets.
The columns from the records in the master and update data set s are merged so that the
out put record contains all the columns from the master record plus any additional
columns from each update record that required.

A master record and an update record are merged only if both of them have the same
values for the merge key column(s) that we specify .Merge key columns are one or more
columns that exist in both the master and update records.

DATASTAGE FAQ2

1. What is the architecture of data stage?

Basically architecture of DS is client/server architecture.

Client components & server components

Client components are 4 types they are


1. Data stage designer
2. Data stage administrator
3. Data stage director
4. Data stage manager

Data stage designer is user for to design the jobs

Data stage manager is used for to import & export the project to view & edit the
contents of the repository.

Data stage administrator is used for creating the project, deleting the project & setting
the environment variables.

Data stage director is use for to run the jobs, validate the jobs, scheduling the jobs.

Server components

DS server: runs executable server jobs, under the control of the DS director, that extract,
transform, and load data into a DWH.

DS Package installer: A user interface used to install packaged DS jobs and plug-in;

Repository or project: a central store that contains all the information required to build
DWH or data mart.

2. What r the stages u worked on?

3. I have some jobs every month automatically delete the log details what r the steps
u have to take for that

We have to set the option autopurge in DS Adminstrator.

4. I want to run the multiple jobs in the single job. How can u handle.

In job properties set the option ALLOW MULTIPLE INSTANCES.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 26 of 202☻


5. What is version controlling in DS?

In DS, version controlling is used for back up the project or jobs.


This option is available in DS 7.1 version onwards.
Version controls r of 2 types.
1. VSS- visual source safe
2. CVSS- concurrent visual source safe.

VSS is designed by Microsoft but the disadvantage is only one user can access at a time,
other user can wait until the first user complete the operation.
CVSS, by using this many users can access concurrently. When compared to VSS, CVSS
cost is high.

6. What is the difference between clear log file and clear status file?

Clear log--- we can clear the log details by using the DS Director. Under job menu
clear log option is available. By using this option we can clear the log details of
particular job.

Clear status file---- lets the user remove the status of the record associated with all
stages of selected jobs.(in DS Director)

7. I developed 1 job with 50 stages, at the run time one stage is missed how can u
identify which stage is missing?

By using usage analysis tool, which is available in DS manager, we can find out the what
r the items r used in job.

8. My job takes 30 minutes time to run, I want to run the job less than 30 minutes?
What r the steps we have to take?

By using performance tuning aspects which are available in DS, we can reduce time.
Tuning aspect

In DS administrator : in-process and inter process


In between passive stages : inter process stage
OCI stage : Array size and transaction size

And also use link partitioner & link collector stage in between passive stages

9. How to do road transposition in DS?

Pivot stage is used to transposition purpose. Pivot is an active stage that maps sets of
columns in an input table to a single column in an output table.

10. If a job locked by some user, how can you unlock the particular job in DS?

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 27 of 202☻


We can unlock the job by using clean up resources option which is available in DS
Director. Other wise we can find PID (process id) and kill the process in UNIX server.

11. What is a container? How many types containers are available? Is it possible to
use container as look up?

A container is a group of stages and links. Containers enable you to simplify and
modularize your server job designs by replacing complex areas of the diagram with a
single container stage.
DataStage provides two types of container:
• Local containers. These are created within a job and are only accessible by that job
only.
• Shared containers. These are created separately and are stored in the Repository in the
same way that jobs are. Shared containers can use any job in the project.

Yes we can use container as look up.

12. How to deconstruct the shared container?

To deconstruct the shared container, first u have to convert the shared container to local
container. And then deconstruct the container.

13. I am getting input value like X = Iconv(“31 DEC 1967”,”D”)? What is the X
value?

X value is Zero.
Iconv Function Converts a string to an internal storage format.It takes 31 dec 1967 as
zero and counts days from that date(31-dec-1967).

14. What is the Unit testing, integration testing and system testing?

Unit testing: As for Ds unit test will check the data type mismatching,
Size of the particular data type, column mismatching.

Integration testing: According to dependency we will put all jobs are integrated in to
one sequence. That is called control sequence.

System testing: System testing is nothing but the performance tuning aspects in Ds.

15. What are the command line functions that import and export the DS jobs?

Dsimport.exe ---- To import the DataStage components


Dsexport.exe ---- To export the DataStage components

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 28 of 202☻


16. How many hashing algorithms are available for static hash file and dynamic
hash file?

Sixteen hashing algorithms for static hash file.


Two hashing algorithms for dynamic hash file( GENERAL or SEQ.NUM)

17. What happens when you have a job that links two passive stages together?

Obviously there is some process going on. Under covers Ds inserts a cut-down
transformer stage between the passive stages, which just passes data straight from one
stage to the other.

18. What is the use use of Nested condition activity?

Nested Condition. Allows you to further branch the execution of a sequence depending
on a condition.

19. I have three jobs A,B,C . Which are dependent on each other? I want to run A
& C jobs daily and B job runs only on Sunday. How can u do it?

First you have to schedule A & C jobs Monday to Saturday in one sequence.
Next take three jobs according to dependency in one more sequence and schedule that job
only Sunday.

My DataStage and Data Warehouse Materials

My DataStage Tips:
1. Aggregator stage does not support more than one source, if you try to do this you
will get error, “The destination stage cannot support any more stream input links”.
2. You can give N number input links to transformer stage, but you can give
sequential file stage as reference link. You can give only one sequential file stage
as primary link and number other links as reference link. If you try to give
sequential file stage as reference link you will get error as, “The destination stage
cannot support any more stream input links” because reference link represent a
lookup table, but sequential file does not use as lookup table, Hashed file can be
use as lookup table.

Sequential file stage:


• Sequential file stage is provided by datastage to access data from sequential file.
(Text file)
• The access mechanism of a sequential file is sequence order.
• We cannot use a sequential file as a lookup.
• The problem with sequential file we cannot directly ‘filter rows’ and query is not
supported.

Update actions in sequential file:


• Over write existing file (radio button).
• Append to existing file (radio button).
• Backup existing file (check box).

Hashed file stage:


• Hashed file is used to store data in hash file.
• A hash file is similar to a text file but the data will be organized using ‘hashing
algorithm’.
• Basically hashed file is used for lookup purpose.
• The retrieval of data in hashed file faster because it uses ’hashing algorithm’.

Update actions in Hashed file:


• Clear file before waiting
• Backup existing file.
• Sequential file (all are check boxes).

Conformed dimension:
• A dimension table connects to more than one fact table. We present this same
dimension table in both schemes and we refer to dimension table as conformed
dimension.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 30 of 202☻


Conformed fact:
• Definitions of measurements (facts) are highly consistent we call them as
conformed fact.

Junk dimension:
• It is convenient grouping of random flags and aggregates to get them out of a fact
table and into a useful dimensional framework.

Degenerated dimension:
• Usually occur in line item oriented fact table designs. Degenerate dimensions are
normal, expected and useful.
• The degenerated dimension key should be the actual production order of number
and should set in the fact table without a join to anything.

Time dimension:
• It contains a number of useful attributes for describing calendars and navigating.
• An exclusive time dimension is required because the SQL date semantics and
functions cannot generate several important features, attributes required for
analytical purposes.
• Attributes like week days, week ends, holidays, physical periods cannot be
generated by SQL statements.

Fact less fact table:


• Fact table which do not have any facts are called fact less fact table.
• They may consist of keys; these two kinds of fact tables do not have any facts at
all.
• The first type of fact less fact table records an ‘event’.
• Many event tracking tables in dimensional data warehouses turn out to be factless.
Ex: A student tracking system that details each ‘student attendance’ event each
day.
• The second type of fact less fact table is coverage. The coverage tables are
frequently needed when a primary fact table in dimensional DWH is sparse.
Ex: The sales fact table that records the sales of products in stores on particular
days under each promotion condition

Types of facts:

• Additive: facts involved in the calculations for the purpose of deriving


summarized data.
• Semi additive: facts that involved in the calculations at a particular context of
time.
• Non additive: facts that cannot involved in the calculations at every point of time.

DATABASE Stages:
ODBC Stage:
ODBC Stage “Stage” Page:

You can use an ODBC stage to extract, write, or aggregate data. Each ODBC stage can
have any number of inputs or outputs. Input links specify the data you are writing. Output
links specify the data you are extracting and any aggregations required. You can specify
the data on an input link using an SQL statement constructed by DataStage, a generated
query, a stored procedure, or a user-defined SQL query.

• GetSQLInfo: is used to get quote character and schema delimiters of your data
source. Optionally specify the quote character used by the data source. By default,
this is set to " (double quotes). You can also click the Get SQLInfo button to connect
to the data source and retrieve the Quote character it uses. An entry of 000 (three
zeroes) specifies that no quote character should be used.
Optionally specify the schema delimiter used by the data source. By default this is set
to. (period) but you can specify a different schema delimiter, or multiple schema
delimiters. So, for example, identifiers have the form
Node:Schema.Owner;TableName you would enter :.; into this field. You can also
click the Get SQLInfo button to connect to the data source and retrieve the Schema
delimiter it uses.
• NLS tab: You can define a character set map for an ODBC stage using the NLS tab
of the ODBC Stage

The ODBC stage can handle the following SQL Server data types:
• GUID
• Timestamp
• SmallDateTime

ODBC Stage “Input” Page:

• Update action. Specifies how the data is written. Choose the option you want from
the drop-down list box:
 Clear the table, then insert rows. Deletes the contents of the table and adds the
new rows.
 Insert rows without clearing. Inserts the new rows in the table.
 Insert new or update existing rows. New rows are added or, if the insert fails,
the existing rows are updated.
 Replace existing rows completely. Deletes the existing rows, then adds the new
rows to the table.
 Update existing rows only. Updates the existing data rows. If a row with the
supplied key does not exist in the table then the table is not updated but a warning
is logged.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 32 of 202☻


 Update existing or insert new rows. The existing data rows are updated or, if
this fails, new rows are added.
 Call stored procedure. Writes the data using a stored procedure. When you
select this option, the Procedure name field appears.
 User-defined SQL. Writes the data using a user-defined SQL statement. When
you select this option, the View SQL tab is replaced by the Enter SQL tab.

• Create table in target database. Select this check box if you want to automatically
create a table in the target database at run time. A table is created based on the
defined column set for this stage. If you select this option, an additional tab, Edit
DDL, appears. This shows the SQL CREATE statement to be used for table
generation.

• Transaction Handling. This page allows you to specify the transaction handling
features of the stage as it writes to the ODBC data source. You can choose whether to
use transaction grouping or not, specify an isolation level, the number of rows written
before each commit, and the number of rows written in each operation.
 Isolation Levels: Read Uncommitted, Read Committed, Repeatable Read,
Serializable, Versioning, and Auto-Commit.
 Rows per transaction field. This is the number of rows written before the data is
committed to the data table. The default value is 0, that is, all the rows are written
before being committed to the data table.
 Parameter array size field. This is the number of rows written at a time. The
default is 1, that is, each row is written in a separate operation.

ODBC Stage “Output” Page:

==

PROCESSING Stages:

TRANSFORMER Stage:
Transformer stages do not extract data or write data to a target database. They are used to
handle extracted data, perform any conversions required, and pass data to another
Transformer stage or a stage that writes data to a target data table.

Transformer stages can have any number of inputs and outputs. The link from the main
data input source is designated the primary input link. There can only be one primary
input link, but there can be any number of reference inputs.

Input Links

The main data source is joined to the Transformer stage via the primary link, but the
stage can also have any number of reference input links.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 33 of 202☻


A reference link represents a table lookup. These are used to provide information that
might affect the way the data is changed, but do not supply the actual data to be changed.

Reference input columns can be designated as key fields. You can specify key
expressions that are used to evaluate the key fields. The most common use for the key
expression is to specify an equi-join, which is a link between a primary link column and a
reference link column. For example, if your primary input data contains names and
addresses, and a reference input contains names and phone numbers, the reference link
name column is marked as a key field and the key expression refers to the primary link’s
name column. During processing, the name in the primary input is looked up in the
reference input. If the names match, the reference data is consolidated with the primary
data. If the names do not match, i.e., there is no record in the reference input whose key
matches the expression given, all the columns specified for the reference input are set to
the null value.

Where a reference link originates from a UniVerse or ODBC stage, you can look up
multiple rows from the reference table. The rows are specified by a foreign key, as
opposed to a primary key used for a single-row lookup.

Output Links

You can have any number of output links from your Transformer stage.

You may want to pass some data straight through the Transformer stage unaltered, but
it’s likely that you’ll want to transform data from some input columns before outputting it
from the Transformer stage.

You can specify such an operation by entering a BASIC expression or by selecting a


transform to apply to the data. DataStage has many built-in transforms, or you can define
your own custom transforms that are stored in the Repository and can be reused as
required.

The source of an output link column is defined in that column’s Derivation cell within
the Transformer Editor. You can use the Expression Editor to enter expressions or
transforms in this cell. You can also simply drag an input column to an output column’s
Derivation cell, to pass the data straight through the Transformer stage.

In addition to specify derivation details for individual output columns, you can also
specify constraints that operate on entire output links. A constraint is a BASIC expression
that specifies criteria that data must meet before it can be passed to the output link. You
can also specify a reject link, which is an output link that carries all the data not output on
other links, that is, columns that have not met the criteria.

Each output link is processed in turn. If the constraint expression evaluates to TRUE for
an input row, the data row is output on that link. Conversely, if a constraint expression
evaluates to FALSE for an input row, the data row is not output on that link.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 34 of 202☻


Constraint expressions on different links are independent. If you have more than one
output link, an input row may result in a data row being output from some, none, or all of
the output links.

For example, if you consider the data that comes from a paint shop, it could include
information about any number of different colors. If you want to separate the colors into
different files, you would set up different constraints. You could output the information
about green and blue paint on LinkA, red and yellow paint on LinkB, and black paint on
LinkC.

When an input row contains information about yellow paint, the LinkA constraint
expression evaluates to FALSE and the row is not output on LinkA. However, the input
data does satisfy the constraint criterion for LinkB and the rows are output on LinkB.

If the input data contains information about white paint, this does not satisfy any
constraint and the data row is not output on Links A, B or C, but will be output on the
reject link. The reject link is used to route data to a table or file that is a “catch-all” for
rows that are not output on any other link. The table or file containing these rejects is
represented by another stage in the job design.

Before-Stage and After-Stage Routines

Because the Transformer stage is an active stage type, you can specify routines to be
executed before or after the stage has processed the data. For example, you might use a
before-stage routine to prepare the data before processing starts. You might use an after-
stage routine to send an electronic message when the stage has finished.

Specifying the Primary Input Link

The first link to a Transformer stage is always designated as the primary input link.
However, you can choose an alternative link to be the primary link if necessary. To do
this:
1. Select the current primary input link in the Diagram window.
2. Choose Convert to Reference from the Diagram window shortcut menu.
3. Select the reference link that you want to be the new primary input link.
4. Choose Convert to Stream from the Diagram window shortcut menu.

AGGREGATOR Stage:
Aggregator stages classify data rows from a single input link into groups and compute
totals or other aggregate functions for each group. The summed totals for each group are
output from the stage via an output link.

If you want to aggregate the input data in a number of different ways, you can have
several output links, each specifying a different set of properties to define how the input
data is grouped and summarized.

==

FOLDER Stage:
Folder stages are used to read or write data as files in a directory located on the
DataStage server.

The folder stages can read multiple files from a single directory and can deliver the files
to the job as rows on an output link. The folder stage can also write rows of data as files
to a directory. The rows arrive at the stage on an input link.

Note: The behavior of the Folder stage when reading folders that contain other folders is
undefined.

In an NLS environment, the user running the job must have write permission on the
folder so that the NLS map information can be set up correctly.

Folder Stage Input Data

The properties are as follows:


• Preserve CRLF. When Preserve CRLF is set to Yes field marks are not converted to
newlines on write. It is set to Yes by default.

The Columns tab defines the data arriving on the link to be written in files to the
directory. The first column on the Columns tab must be defined as a key, and gives the
name of the file. The remaining columns are written to the named file, each column
separated by a newline. Data to be written to a directory would normally be delivered in a
single column.

Folder Stage Output Data

The properties are as follows:


• Sort order. Choose from Ascending, Descending, or None. This specifies the order in
which the files are read from the directory.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 36 of 202☻


• Wildcard. This allows for simple wildcarding of the names of the files found in the
directory. Any occurrence of * (asterisk) or … (three periods) is treated as an instruction
to match any or no characters.
• Preserve CRLF. When Preserve CRLF is set to Yes newlines are not converted to
field marks on read. It is set to Yes by default.
• Fully qualified. Set this to yes to have the full path name of each file written in the key
column instead of just the file name.

The Columns tab defines a maximum of two columns. The first column must be marked
as the Key and receives the file name. The second column, if present, receives the
contents of the file.

==

IPC Stage:
An inter-process (IPC) stage is a passive stage which provides a communication channel
between DataStage processes running simultaneously in the same job. It allows you to
design jobs that run on SMP systems with great performance benefits. To understand the
benefits of using IPC stages, you need to know a bit about how DataStage jobs actually
run as processes, see “DataStage Jobs and Processes”.

The output link connecting IPC stage to the stage reading data can be opened as soon as
the input link connected to the stage writing data has been opened.
You can use Inter-process stages to join passive stages together. For example you could
use them to speed up data transfer between two data sources:

In this example the job will run as two processes, one handling the communication from
sequential file stage to IPC stage, and one handling communication from IPC stage to
ODBC stage. As soon as the Sequential File stage has opened its output link, the IPC
stage can start passing data to the ODBC stage. If the job is running on a multi processor
system, the two processor can run simultaneously so the transfer will be much faster.

Defining IPC Stage Properties

The Properties tab allows you to specify two properties for the IPC stage:
• Buffer Size. Defaults to 128 Kb. The IPC stage uses two blocks of memory; one block
can be written to while the other is read from. This property defines the size of each
block, so that by default 256 Kb is allocated in total.
• Timeout. Defaults to 10 seconds. This gives time limit for how long the stage will wait
for a process to connect to it before timing out. This normally will not need changing, but

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 37 of 202☻


may be important where you are prototyping multi-processor jobs on single processor
platforms and there are likely to be delays.

==

LINK PARTITIONER Stage:


The Link Partitioner stage is an active stage which takes one input and allows you to
distribute partitioned rows to up to 64 output links. The stage expects the output links to
use the same meta data as the input link.

Partitioning your data enables you to take advantage of a multi-processor system and
have the data processed in parallel. It can be used in conjunction with the Link Collector
stage to partition data, process it in parallel, then collect it together again before writing it
to a single target. To really understand the benefits you need to know a bit about how
DataStage jobs are run as processes, see “DataStage Jobs and Processes”.

In order for this job to compile and run as intended on a multi-processor system you must
have inter-process buffering turned on, either at project level using the DataStage
Administrator, or at job level from the Job Properties dialog box.

Before-Stage and After-Stage Subroutines


The General tab on the Stage page contains optional fields that allow you to define
routines to use which are executed before or after the stage has processed the data.
• Before-stage subroutine and Input Value. Contain the name (and value) of a
subroutine that is executed before the stage starts to process any data. For example,
you can specify a routine that prepares the data before processing starts.
• After-stage subroutine and Input Value. Contain the name (and value) of a
subroutine that is executed after the stage has processed the data. For example, you
can specify a routine that sends an electronic message when the stage has finished.

Choose a routine from the drop-down list box. This list box contains all the routines
defined as a Before/After Subroutine under the Routines branch in the Repository.
Enter an appropriate value for the routine’s input argument in the Input Value field.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 38 of 202☻


If you choose a routine that is defined in the Repository, but which was edited but not
compiled, a warning message reminds you to compile the routine when you close the
Link Partitioner Stage dialog box.

A return code of 0 from the routine indicates success, any other code indicates failure and
causes a fatal error when the job is run.

If you installed or imported a job, the Before-stage subroutine or Afterstage


subroutine field may reference a routine that does not exist on your system. In this case,
a warning message appears when you close the Link Partitioner Stage dialog box. You
must install or import the “missing” routine or choose an alternative one to use.

Defining Link Partitioner Stage Properties


The Properties tab allows you to specify two properties for the Link Partitioner stage:
• Partitioning Algorithm. Use this property to specify the method the stage uses to
partition data. Choose from:
 Round-Robin. This is the default method. Using the round-robin method the
stage will write each incoming row to one of its output links in turn.
 Random. Using this method the stage will use a random number generator to
distribute incoming rows evenly across all output links.
 Hash. Using this method the stage applies a hash function to one or more input
column values to determine which output link the row is passed to.
 Modulus. Using this method the stage applies a modulus function to an integer
input column value to determine which output link the row is passed to.

• Partitioning Key. This property is only significant where you have chosen a
partitioning algorithm of Hash or Modulus. For the Hash algorithm, specify one or
more column names separated by commas. These keys are concatenated and a hash
function applied to determine the destination output link. For the Modulus algorithm,
specify a single column name which identifies an integer numeric column. The value
of this column value determines the destination output link.

Defining Link Partitioner Stage Input Data


The Link Partitioner stage can have one input link. This is where the data to be
partitioned arrives.
The Inputs page has two tabs: General and Columns.
• General. The General tab allows you to specify an optional description of the stage.
• Columns. The Columns tab contains the column definitions for the data on the input
link. This is normally populated by the meta data of the stage connecting on the input
side. You can also Load a column definition from the Repository, or type one in
yourself (and Save it to the Repository if required). Note that the meta data on the
input link must be identical to the meta data on the output links.

Defining Link Partitioner Stage Output Data

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 39 of 202☻


The Link Partitioner stage can have up to 64 output links. Partitioned data flows along
these links. The Output Name drop-down list on the Outputs pages allows you to select
which of the 64 links you are looking at.
The Outputs page has two tabs: General and Columns.
• General. The General tab allows you to specify an optional description of the stage.
• Columns. The Columns tab contains the column definitions for the data on the input
link. You can Load a column definition from the Repository, or type one in yourself
(and Save it to the Repository if required). Note that the meta data on the output link
must be identical to the meta data on the input link. So the meta data is identical for
all the output links.

==

LINK COLLECTOR Stage:


The Link Collector stage is an active stage which takes up to 64 inputs and allows you to
collect data from this links and route it along a single output link. The stage expects the
output link to use the same meta data as the input links.

The Link Collector stage can be used in conjunction with a Link Partitioner stage to
enable you to take advantage of a multi-processor system and have data processed in
parallel. The Link Partitioner stage partitions data, it is processed in parallel, then the
Link Collector stage collects it together again before writing it to a single target. To really
understand the benefits you need to know a bit about how DataStage jobs are run as
processes, see “DataStage Jobs and Processes”.

In order for this job to compile and run as intended on a multi-processor system you must
have inter-process buffering turned on, either at project level using the DataStage
Administrator, or at job level from the Job Properties dialog box.

The Properties tab allows you to specify two properties for the Link Collector stage:

• Collection Algorithm. Use this property to specify the method the stage uses to
collect data. Choose from:

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 40 of 202☻


 Round-Robin. This is the default method. Using the round-robin method the
stage will read a row from each input link in turn.
 Sort/Merge. Using the sort/merge method the stage reads multiple sorted inputs
and writes one sorted output.
• Sort Key. This property is only significant where you have chosen a collecting
algorithm of Sort/Merge. It defines how each of the partitioned data sets are known to
be sorted and how the merged output will be sorted. The key has the following
format:

Columnname {sortorder] [,Columnname [sortorder]]...


Columnname specifies one (or more) columns to sort on.
sortorder defines the sort order as follows:

In an NLS environment, the collate convention of the locale may affect the sort order.
The default collate convention is set in the DataStage Administrator, but can be set for
individual jobs in the Job Properties dialog box.

Ascending Order Descending Order


A d
asc dsc
ascending descending
A D
ASC DSC
ASCENDING DESCENDING

For example:
FIRSTNAME d, SURNAME D

Specifies that rows are sorted according to FIRSTNAME column and SURNAME
column in descending order.

The Link Collector stage can have up to 64 input links. This is where the data to be
collected arrives. The Input Name drop-down list on the Inputs page allows you to
select which of the 64 links you are looking at.

The Link Collector stage can have a single output link.

About DataStage

DataStage is a tool set for designing, developing, and running applications that populate
one or more tables in a data warehouse or data mart. It consists of client and server
components.
Client Components
DataStage Designer.

A design interface used to create DataStage applications (known as jobs). Each job
specifies the data sources, the transforms required, and the destination of the data.
Jobs are compiled to create executables that are scheduled by the Director and run by
the Server.

DataStage Director.

A user interface used to validate, schedule, run, and monitor DataStage jobs.

DataStage Manager.

A user interface used to view and edit the contents of the Repository.

DataStage Administrator

A user interface used to configure DataStage

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 42 of 202☻


DataStage Manager Roles

• Import table or stored procedure definitions


• Create table or stored procedure definitions, data elements, custom transforms,
server job routines, mainframe routines, machine profiles, and plug-ins

There are also more specialized tasks that can only be performed from the DataStage
Manager. These include:

• Perform usage analysis queries.


• Report on Repository contents.
• Importing, exporting and packaging DataStage jobs.

Server Components

There are three server components which are installed on a server:

• Repository. A central store that contains all the information required to build a
data mart or data warehouse.
• DataStage Server. Runs executable jobs that extract, transform, and load data
into a data warehouse.
• DataStage Package Installer. A user interface used to install packaged
DataStage jobs and plug-ins.

DataStage Features

Extracts data from any number or types of database

Handles all the meta data definitions required to define your data warehouse.

Aggregates data. You can modify SQL SELECT statements used to extract data.

Transforms data. DataStage has a set of predefined transforms and functions you can use
to convert your data.

Loads the data warehouse

Types of jobs

There are three basic types of DataStage job:

• Server jobs. These are compiled and run on the DataStage server. A server job
will connect to databases on other machines as necessary, extract data, process it,
then write the data to the target data warehouse.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 43 of 202☻


• Parallel jobs. These are available only if you have Enterprise Edition installed.
Parallel jobs are compiled and run on a DataStage UNIX server, and can be run in
parallel on SMP, MPP, and cluster systems.
• Mainframe jobs. These are available only if you have Enterprise MVS Edition
installed. A mainframe job is compiled and run on the mainframe. Data extracted
by such jobs is then loaded into the data warehouse.

There are two other entities that are similar to jobs in the way they appear in the
DataStage Designer, and are handled by it. These are:

Shared containers.

These are reusable job elements. They typically comprise a number of stages and
links. Copies of shared containers can be used in any number of server jobs and
edited as required.

Job Sequences.

A job sequence allows you to specify a sequence of DataStage jobs to be executed,


and actions to take depending on results
DataStage NLS

• Process data in a wide range of languages


• Accept data in any character set into most DataStage fields
• Use local formats for dates, times, and money (Server Jobs)
• Sort data according to local rules

JOB

A job consists of stages linked together which describe the flow of data from a data
source to a final data warehouse.

Built-In Stages – Server Jobs


Aggregator.

Aggregator stages are active stages that classify data rows from a single input link into
groups and compute totals or other aggregate functions for each group. The summed
totals for each group are output from the stage via an output link.

Hashed File.

Extracts data from or loads data into databases that contain hashed files. Also acts as
an intermediate stage for quick lookups.

Hashed File stages represent a hashed file, i.e., a file that uses a hashing algorithm for
distributing records in one or more groups on disk. You can use a Hashed File stage to

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 44 of 202☻


extract or write data, or to act as an intermediate file in a job. The primary role of a
Hashed File stage is as a reference table based on a single key field.

Each Hashed File stage can have any number of inputs or outputs. Input links specify the
data you are writing. Output links specify the data you are extracting.

UniVerse.

• Extracts data from or loads data into UniVerse databases.

UniData.

• Extracts data from or loads data into UniData databases.

ODBC.

Extracts data from or loads data into databases that support the industry standard Open
Database Connectivity API. This stage is also used as an intermediate stage for
aggregating data.

ODBC stages are used to represent a database that supports the industry standard Open
Database Connectivity API. You can use an ODBC stage to extract, write, or aggregate
data.

Each ODBC stage can have any number of inputs or outputs. Input links specify the data
you are writing. Output links specify the data you are extracting and any aggregations
required.

Sequential File.

Extracts data from or loads data into "flat files" in the Windows NT file system.

Sequential File stages are used to extract data from, or write data to, a text file in the
server file system. The text file can be created or exist on any drive that is either local or
mapped to the server. Each Sequential File stage can have any number of inputs or
outputs.

Folder Stage.

Folder stages are used to read or write data as files in a directory located on the
DataStage server.

Folder stages are used to read or write data as files in a directory.

The folder stages can read multiple files from a single directory and can deliver the files
to the job as rows on an output link. By default, the file content is delivered with

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 45 of 202☻


newlines converted to char(254) field marks. The folder stage can also write rows of data
as files to a directory. The rows arrive at the stage on an input link.

Transformer.

Receives incoming data, transforms it in a variety of ways, and outputs it to another


stage in the job.

Transformer stages do not extract data or write data to a target database. They are used to
handle extracted data, perform any conversions required, and pass data to another
Transformer stage or a stage that writes data to a target data table.

Transformer stages in server jobs can have any number of inputs and outputs. The link
from the main data input source is designated the primary input link. There can only be
one primary input link, but there can be any number of reference inputs.

Container.

Represents a group of stages and links. The group is replaced by a single Container stage
in the Diagram window.

IPC Stage.

Provides a communication channel between DataStage processes running simultaneously


in the same job. It allows you to design jobs that run on SMP systems with great
performance benefits

.An inter-process (IPC) stage is a passive stage which provides a communication channel
between DataStage processes running simultaneously in the same job. It allows you to
design jobs that run on SMP systems with great performance benefits. To understand the
benefits of using IPC stages, you need to know a bit about how DataStage jobs actually
run as processes, see Chapter 2 of the Server Job Developer's Guide for information.

The output link connecting IPC stage to the stage reading data can be opened as soon as
the input link connected to the stage writing data has been opened.

You can use Inter-process stages to join passive stages together. For example you could
use them to speed up data transfer between two data sources

Link Collector Stage.

Takes up to 64 inputs and allows you to collect data from these links and route it along a
single output link.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 46 of 202☻


The Link Collector stage is an active stage which takes up to 64 inputs and allows you to
collect data from these links and route it along a single output link. The stage expects the
output link to use the same meta data as the input links

Link Partitioner Stage.

Takes one input and allows you to distribute partitioned rows to up to 64 output
links.

The Link Partitioner stage is an active stage which takes one input and allows you to
distribute partitioned rows to up to 64 output links. The stage expects the output links
to use the same meta data as the input link.

• Container Input and Container Output. Represent the interface that links a
container stage to the rest of the job design.

Server Job Properties

The Job Properties dialog box appears. The dialog box differs depending on whether it
is a server job, a mainframe job, or a job sequence.

A server job has up to six pages: General, Parameters, Job control, NLS,
Performance, and Dependencies. Note that the NLS page is not available if you open
the dialog box from the Manager, even if you have NLS installed.

Containers

A container is a group of stages and links. Containers enable you to simplify and
modularize your server job designs by replacing complex areas of the diagram with a
single container stage. You can also use shared containers as a way of incorporating
server job functionality into parallel jobs.

DataStage provides two types of container:

Local containers.

• These are created within a job and are only accessible by that job. A local
container is edited in a tabbed page of the job’s Diagram window.

Shared containers.

• These are created separately and are stored in the Repository in the same way that
jobs are. There are two types of shared container:

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 47 of 202☻


Job Sequences

DataStage provides a graphical Job Sequencer which allows you to specify a sequence of
server or parallel jobs to run. The sequence can also contain control information, for
example, you can specify different courses of action to take depending on whether a job
in the sequence succeeds or fails. Once you have defined a job sequence, it can be
scheduled and run using the DataStage Director. It appears in the DataStage Repository
and in the DataStage Director client as a job.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 48 of 202☻


LEARN FEATURES OF DATASTAGE

DATASTAGE:
DataStage has the following features to aid the design and processing required to build a
data warehouse:
Uses graphical design tools. With simple point-and-click techniques you can draw a
scheme to represent your processing requirements.
Extracts data from any number or type of database.
Handles all the metadata definitions required to define your data warehouse. You can
view and modify the table definitions at any point during the design of your
application.
Aggregates data. You can modify SQL SELECT statements used to extract data.
Transforms data. DataStage has a set of predefined transforms and functions you can
use to convert your data. You can easily extend the functionality by defining your
own transforms to use.
Loads the data warehouse.

COMPONENTS OF DATASTAGE:
DataStage consists of a number of client and server components. DataStage has four
client components

1. DataStage Designer. A design interface used to create DataStage applications


(known as jobs). Each job specifies the data sources, the transforms required, and
the destination of the data. Jobs are compiled to create executables that are
scheduled by the Director and run by the Server (mainframe jobs are
transferred and run on the mainframe).
2. DataStage Director. A user interface used to validate, schedule, run, and monitor
DataStage server jobs and parallel jobs.
3. DataStage Manager. A user interface used to view and edit the contents of the
Repository.
4. DataStage Administrator. A user interface used to perform administration tasks
such as setting up DataStage users, creating and moving projects, and setting up
purging criteria.

SERVER COMPONENTS:
There are three server components:
1. Repository. A central store that contains all the information required to build a
data mart or data warehouse.
2. DataStage Server. Runs executable jobs that extract, transform, and load data
into a data warehouse.
3. DataStage Package Installer. A user interface used to install packaged
DataStage jobs and plug-ins.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 49 of 202☻


DATASTAGE PROJECTS:
You always enter DataStage through a DataStage project. When you start a DataStage
client you are prompted to attach to a project. Each project contains:
• DataStage jobs.
• Built-in components. These are predefined components used in a job.
• User-defined components. These are customized components created using the
DataStage Manager. Each user-defined component performs a specific task in a
job.

DATASTAGE JOBS:
There are three basic types of DataStage job:
1. Server jobs. These are compiled and run on the DataStage server. A server job
will connect to databases on other machines as necessary, extract data, process it,
then write the data to the target datawarehouse.
2. Parallel jobs. These are compiled and run on the DataStage server in a similar
way to server jobs, but support parallel processing on SMP, MPP, and cluster
systems.
3. Mainframe jobs. These are available only if you have Enterprise MVS Edition
installed. A mainframe job is compiled and run on the mainframe. Data extracted
by such jobs is then loaded into the data warehouse.

SPECIAL ENTITIES:
• Shared containers. These are reusable job elements. They typically comprise a
number of stages and links. Copies of shared containers can be used in any
number of server jobs or parallel jobs and edited as required.
• Job Sequences. A job sequence allows you to specify a sequence of DataStage
jobs to be executed, and actions to take depending on results.

TYPES OF STAGES:
• Built-in stages. Supplied with DataStage and used for extracting aggregating,
transforming, or writing data. All types of job have these stages.
• Plug-in stages. Additional stages that can be installed in DataStage to perform
specialized tasks that the built-in stages do not support Server jobs and parallel
jobs can make use of these.
• Job Sequence Stages. Special built-in stages which allow you to define
sequences of activities to run. Only Job Sequences have these.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 50 of 202☻


DATASTAGE NLS:
DataStage has built-in National Language Support (NLS). With NLS installed, DataStage
can do the following:
• Process data in a wide range of languages
• Accept data in any character set into most DataStage fields
• Use local formats for dates, times, and money (server jobs)
• Sort data according to local rules

To load a data mart or data warehouse, you must do the following:


• Set up your project
• Create a job
• Develop the job
• Edit the stages in the job
• Compile the job
• Run the job

SETTING UP YOUR PROJECT:


Before you create any DataStage jobs, you must set up your project by entering
information about your data. This includes the name and location of the tables or files
holding your data and a definition of the columns they contain. Information is stored in
table definitions in the Repository.

STARTING THE DATASTAGE DESIGNER:


To start the DataStage Designer, choose Start → Programs → Ascential DataStage →
DataStage Designer. The Attach to Project dialog box appears:

TO CONNECT TO A PROJECT:
1. Enter the name of your host in the Host system field. This is the name of the
system where the DataStage Server components are installed.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 51 of 202☻


2. Enter your user name in the User name field. This is your user name on the
server system.
3. Enter your password in the Password field.
4. Choose the project to connect to from the Project drop-down list box.
5. Click OK. The DataStage Designer window appears with the New dialog box
open, ready for you to create a new job:

CREATING A JOB:
Jobs are created using the DataStage Designer. For this example, you need to create a
server job, so double-click the New Server Job icon.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 52 of 202☻


Choose File → Save to save the job.
The Create new job dialog box appears:

DEFINING TABLE DEFINITIONS:


For most data sources, the quickest and simplest way to specify a table definition is to
import it directly from your data source or data warehouse.

IMPORTING TABLE DEFINITIONS:


1. In the Repository window of the DataStage Designer, select the Table Definitions
branch, and choose Import   Table Definitions… from the shortcut
menu. The Import Metadata (ODBC Tables) dialog box appears:

2. Choose data Source Name from the DSN drop-down list box.

3. Click OK. The updated Import Metadata ( ODBC Tables) dialog box displays
all the files for the chosen data source name:

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 53 of 202☻


4. Select project.EXAMPLE1 from the Tables list box, where project is the name
of your DataStage project.
5. Click OK. The column information from EXAMPLE1 is imported into DataStage.
6. A table definition is created and is stored under the Table Definitions
→ ODBC → DSNNAME branch in the Repository. The updated DataStage
Designer window displays the new table definition entry in the Repository
window.

DEVELOPING A JOB:
Jobs are designed and developed using the Designer. The job design is developed in the
Diagram window (the one with grid lines). Each data source, the data warehouse, and
each processing step is represented by a stage in the job design. The stages are linked
together to show the flow of data.

For Example we can develop a job with the following three stages:

A Universe stage to represent EXAMPLE1 (the data source).


• A Transformer stage to convert the data in the DATE column from an YYYY-MM-DD
date in internal date format to a string giving just year and month (YYYY-MM).
• A Sequential File stage to represent the file created at run time (the data warehouse in
this example).

Adding Stages:
Stages are added using the tool palette. This palette contains icons that represent the
components you can add to a job. The palette has different groups to organize the tools
available.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 54 of 202☻


To add a stage:
1. Click the stage button on the tool palette that represents the stage type you want to add.
2. Click in the Diagram window where you want the stage to be positioned. The stage
appears in the Diagram window as a square. You can also drag items from the palette to
the Diagram window.
We recommend that you position your stages as follows:
Data sources on the left
Data warehouse on the right
Transformer stage in the center
When you add stages, they are automatically assigned default names. These names are
based on the type of stage and the number of the item in the Diagram window. You can
use the default names in the example.
Once all the stages are in place, you can link them together to show the flow of data.

Linking Stages
You need to add two links:
• One between the Universe and Transformer stages
• One between the Transformer and Sequential File stages

Links are always made in the direction the data will flow, that is, usually left to right.
When you add links, they are assigned default names. You can use the default names in
the example.

To add a link:
1. Right-click the first stage, hold the mouse button down and drag the link to the
transformer stage. Release the mouse button.
2. Right-click the Transformer stage and drag the link to the Sequential File stage.
The following screen shows how the Diagram window looks when you have added the
stages and links:

Editing the Stages

Your job design currently displays the stages and the links between them. You must edit
each stage in the job to specify the data to use and what to do with it. Stages are edited in
the job design by double-clicking each stage in turn. Each stage type has its own editor.

Editing the UniVerse Stage

The data source (EXAMPLE1) is represented by a UniVerse stage. You must specify the
data you want to extract from this file by editing the stage.

Double-click the stage to edit it. The UniVerse Stage dialog box appears:

This dialog box has two pages:


• Stage. Displayed by default. This page contains the name of the stage you are editing.
The General tab specifies where the file is found and the connection type.
• Outputs. Contains information describing the data flowing from the stage. You edit this
page to describe the data you want to extract from the file. In this example, the output
from this stage goes to the Transformer stage. To edit the Universe stage:
1. Check that you are displaying the General tab on the Stage page.
Choose localuv from the Data source name drop-down list. Localuv is where
EXAMPLE1 is copied to during installation.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 56 of 202☻


The remaining parameters on the General and Details tabs are used to enter logon details
and describe where to find the file. Because EXAMPLE1 is installed in localuv, you do
not have to complete these fields, which are disabled.
2. Click the Outputs tab. The Outputs page appears:

The Outputs page contains the name of the link the data flows along and the following
four tabs:
• General. Contains the name of the table to use and an optional description of the link.
• Columns. Contains information about the columns in the table.
• Selection. Used to enter an optional SQL SELECT clause (an Advanced procedure).
• View SQL. Displays the SQL SELECT statement used to extract the data.
3. Choose dstage.EXAMPLE1 from the Available tables drop-down list.
4. Click Add to add dstage.EXAMPLE1 to the Table names field.
5. Click the Columns tab. The Columns tab appears at the front of the dialog box. You
must specify the columns contained in the file you want to use. Because the column
definitions are stored in a table definition in the Repository, you can load them directly.
6. Click Load…. The Table Definitions window appears with then UniVerse
 localuv branch highlighted.
7. Select dstage.EXAMPLE1. The Select Columns dialog box appears, allowing you to
select which column definitions you want to load.
8. In this case you want to load all available columns definitions, so just click OK. The
column definitions specified in the table definition are copied to the stage. The Columns
tab contains definitions for the four columns in EXAMPLE1:

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 57 of 202☻


9. You can use the Data Browser to view the actual data that is to be output from the
UniVerse stage. Click the View Data… button to open the Data Browser window.

11. Choose File → Save to save your job design so far.

Editing the Transformer Stage

The Transformer stage performs any data conversion required before the data is output to
another stage in the job design. In this example, the Transformer stage is used to convert
the data in the DATE column from an YYYYMM-DD date in internal date format to a
string giving just the year and month (YYYY-MM).
There are two links in the stage:
• The input from the data source (EXAMPLE1)
• The output to the Sequential File stage
To enable the use of one of the built-in DataStage transforms, you will assign data
elements to the DATE columns input and output from the Transformer stage. A

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 58 of 202☻


DataStage data element defines more precisely the kind of data that can appear in a given
column. In this example, you assign the Date data element to the input column, to specify
the date is input to the transform in internal format, and the MONTH.TAG data element
to the output column, to specify that the transform produces a string of the format YYYY-
MM. Double-click the Transformer stage to edit it. The Transformer Editor appears:

1. Working in the upper-left pane of the Transformer Editor, select the input columns that
you want to derive output columns from. Click on the CODE, DATE, and QTY columns
while holding down the Ctrl key.
2. Click the left mouse button again and, keeping it held down, drag the selected
columns to the output link in the upper-right pane. Drop the columns over the Column
Name field by releasing the mouse button. The columns appear in the top pane and the
associated metadata appears in the lower-right pane:

3. In the Data element field for the DSLink3.DATE column, select Date from the drop-
down list.
4. In the SQL type field for the DSLink4 DATE column, select Char from the drop-
down list.
5. In the Length field or the DSLink4 DATE column, enter 7.
6. In the Data element field for the DSLink4 DATE column, select MONTH.TAG from
the drop-down list. Next you will specify the transform to apply to the input DATE
column to produce the output DATE column. You do this in the upper right pane of the
Transformer Editor.
7. Double-click the Derivation field for the DSLink4 DATE column. The Expression
Editor box appears. At the moment, the box contains the text DSLink3.DATE, which

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 59 of 202☻


indicates that the output is directly derived from the input DATE column. Select the text
DSLink3 and delete it by pressing the Delete key.

10. Select the MONTH.TAG transform. It appears in the Expression Editor box with the
argument field [%Arg1%] highlighted.
11. Right-click to open the Suggest Operand menu again. This time, select Input
Column. A list of available input columns appears:

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 60 of 202☻


12. Select DSLink3.DATE. This then becomes the argument for the transform.
13. Click OK to save the changes and exit the Transformer Editor. Once more the small
icon appears on the output link from the transformer stage to indicate that the link now
has column definitions associated with it.

Editing the Sequential File Stage


The data warehouse is represented by a Sequential File stage. The data to be written to
the data warehouse is already specified in the Transformer stage. However, you must
enter the name of a file to which the data is written when the job runs. If the file does not
exist, it is created. Double-click the stage to edit it. The Sequential File Stage dialog
box appears:

This dialog box has two pages:


• Stage. Displayed by default. This page contains the name of the stage you are editing
and two tabs. The General tab specifies the line termination type, and the NLS tab
specifies a character set map to use with the stage (this appears if you have NLS
installed).
• Inputs. Describes the data flowing into the stage. This page only appears when you
have an input to a Sequential File stage. You do not need to edit the column definitions
on this page, because they were all specified in the Transformer stage.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 61 of 202☻


To edit the Sequential File stage:
1. Click the Inputs tab. The Inputs page appears. This page contains:
• The name of the link. This is automatically set to the link name used in the job design.
• General tab. Contains the pathname of the file, an optional description of the link, and
update action choices. You can use the default settings for this example, but you may
want to enter a file name (by default the file is named after the input link).
• Format tab. Determines how the data is written to the file. In this example, the data is
written using the default settings that is, as a comma-delimited file.
• Columns tab. Contains the column definitions for the data you want to extract. This tab
contains the column definitions specified in the Transformer stage’s output link.
2. Enter the pathname of the text file you want to create in the File name field, for
example, seqfile.txt. By default the file is placed in the server project directory (for
example, c:\Ascential\DataStage\Projects\datastage) and is named after the input link, but
you can enter, or browse for, a different directory.
3. Click OK to close the Sequential File Stage dialog box.
4. Choose File  Save to save the job design.
The job design is now complete and ready to be compiled.

Compiling a Job

When you finish your design you must compile it to create an executable job. Jobs are
compiled using the Designer. To compile the job, do one of the following:
• Choose File → Compile.
• Click the Compile button on the toolbar.
The Compile Job window appears:

Running a Job

Executable jobs are scheduled by the DataStage Director and run by the DataStage
Server. You can start the Director from the Designer by choosing Tools → Run
Director.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 62 of 202☻


When the Director is started, the DataStage Director window appears with the status of
all the jobs in your project:

Highlight your job in the Job name column. To run the job, choose Job → Run Now or
click the Run button on the toolbar. The Job Run Options dialog box appears and
allows you to specify any parameter values and to specify any job run limits. In this case,
just click Run. The status changes to Running. When the job is complete, the status
changes to Finished.
Choose File → Exit to close the DataStage Director window.

Developing a Job

The DataStage Designer is used to create and develop DataStage jobs. A DataStage job
populates one or more tables in the target database. There is no limit to the number of
jobs you can create in a DataStage project.

A job design contains:


• Stages to represent the processing steps required
• Links between the stages to represent the flow of data

There are three different types of job in DataStage:


• Server jobs. These are available if you have installed Server. They run on the
DataStage Server, connecting to other data sources as necessary.
• Mainframe jobs. These are available only if you have installed Enterprise MVS
Edition. Mainframe jobs are uploaded to a mainframe, where they are compiled and run.
• Parallel jobs. These are available only if you have installed the Enterprise Edition.
These run on DataStage servers that are SMP, MPP, or cluster systems. There are two
other entities that are similar to jobs in the way they appear in the DataStage Designer,
and are handled by it. These are:
• Shared containers. These are reusable job elements. They typically comprise a number
of stages and links. Copies of shared containers can be used in any number of server jobs
and parallel jobs and edited as required.
• Job Sequences. A job sequence allows you to specify a sequence of DataStage server
or parallel jobs to be executed, and actions to take depending on results.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 63 of 202☻


STAGES:

A job consists of stages linked together which describe the flow of data from a data
source to a data target (for example, a final data warehouse).
A stage usually has at least one data input and/or one data output. However, some stages
can accept more than one data input, and output to more than one stage. The different
types of job have different stage types. The stages that are available in the DataStage
Designer depend on the type of job that is currently open in the Designer.

Server Job Stages

DataStage offers several built-in stage types for use in server jobs. These are used to
represent data sources, data targets, or conversion stages. These stages are either passive
or active stages. A passive stage handles access to databases for the extraction or writing
of data. Active stages model the flow of data and provide mechanisms for combining data
streams, aggregating data, and converting data from one data type to another.
As well as using the built-in stage types, you can also use plug-in stages for specific
operations that the built-in stages do not support. The Palette organizes stage types into
different groups, according to function:

• Database
• File
• PlugIn
• Processing
• Real Time

Stages and links can be grouped in a shared container. Instances of the shared container
can then be reused in different server jobs. You can also define a local container within a
job, this groups stages and links into a single unit, but can only be used within the job in
which it is defined. Each stage type has a set of predefined and editable properties. These
properties are viewed or edited using stage editors.

At this point in your job development you need to decide which stage types to use in your
job design. The following built-in stage types are available for server jobs:

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 64 of 202☻


oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 65 of 202☻
Mainframe Job Stages

DataStage offers several built-in stage types for use in mainframe jobs. These are used to
represent data sources, data targets, or conversion stages.
The Palette organizes stage types into different groups, according to function:
• Database
• File
• Processing
Each stage type has a set of predefined and editable properties. Some stages can be used
as data sources and some as data targets. Some can be used as both. Processing stages
read data from a source, process it andwrite it to a data target target. These properties are
viewed or edited usingstage editors. A stage editor exists for each stage type and At this
point in your job development you need to decide which stage types to use in your job
design.

Parallel jobs Processing Stages

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 68 of 202☻


SERVER JOBS:
When you design a job you see it in terms of stages and links. When it is compiled, the
DataStage engine sees it in terms of processes that are subsequently run on the server.
How does the DataStage engine define a process? It is here that the distinction between
active and passive stages becomes important. Actives stages, such as the Transformer and
Aggregator perform processing tasks, while passive stages, such as Sequential file stage
and ODBC stage, are reading or writing data sources and provide services to the active
stages. At its simplest, active stages become processes. But the situation becomes more
complicated where you connect active stages together and passive stages together.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 69 of 202☻


Single Processor and Multi-Processor Systems

The default behavior when compiling DataStage jobs is to run all adjacent active stages
in a single process. This makes good sense when you are running the job on a single
processor system. When you are running on a multi-processor system it is better to run
each active stage in a separate process so the processes can be distributed among
available processors and run in parallel. The enhancements to server jobs at Release 6 of
DataStage make it possible for you to stipulate at design time that jobs should be
compiled in this way. There are two ways of doing this:
• Explicitly – by inserting IPC stages between connected active stages.
• Implicitly – by turning on inter-process row buffering either project wide (using the
DataStage Administrator) or for individual jobs (in the Job Properties dialog box)
The IPC facility can also be used to produce multiple processes where passive stages are
directly connected. This means that an operation reading from one data source and
writing to another could be divided into a reading process and a writing process able to
take advantage of multiprocessor systems.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 70 of 202☻


Partitioning and Collecting

With the introduction of the enhanced multi-processor support at Release6, there are
opportunities to further enhance the performance of server jobs by partitioning data. The
Link Partitioner stage allows you to partition data you are reading so it can be processed
by individual processors running on multiple processors. The Link Collector stage
allows you to collect partitioned data together again for writing to a single data target.
The following diagram illustrates how you might use the Link Partitioner and Link
Collector stages within a job. Both stages are active, and you should turn on inter-process
row buffering at project or job level in order to implement process boundaries.

Aggregator Stages

Aggregator stages classify data rows from a single input link into groups and compute
totals or other aggregate functions for each group. The summed totals for each group are
output from the stage via an output link.
Using an Aggregator Stage

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 71 of 202☻


If you want to aggregate the input data in a number of different ways, you can have
several output links, each specifying a different set of properties to define how the input
data is grouped and summarized.
When you edit an Aggregator stage, the Aggregator Stage dialog box appears:

This dialog box has three pages:


• Stage. Displays the name of the stage you are editing. This page has a General tab
which contains an optional description of the stage and names of before- and after-stage
routines
• Inputs. Specifies the column definitions for the data input link.
• Outputs. Specifies the column definitions for the data output link.

Defining Aggregator Input Data

Data to be aggregated is passed from a previous stage in the job design and into the
Aggregator stage via a single input link. The properties of this link and the column
definitions of the data are defined on the Inputs page in the Aggregator Stage dialog
box.

Note: The Aggregator stage does not preserve the order of input rows, even when the
incoming data is already sorted.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 72 of 202☻


The Inputs page has the following field and two tabs:
• Input name. The name of the input link to the Aggregator stage.
• General. Displayed by default. Contains an optional description of the link.
• Columns. Contains a grid displaying the column definitions for the data being written
to the stage, and an optional sort order.
Column name: The name of the column.
Sort Order: Specifies the sort order. This field is blank by default, that is, there is no
sort order. Choose Ascending for ascending order, Descending for descending
order, or Ignore if you do not want the order to be checked.
Key: Indicates whether the column is part of the primary key.
SQL type: The SQL data type.
Length: The data precision. This is the length for CHAR data and the maximum
length for VARCHAR data.
Scale: The data scale factor.
Nullable: Specifies whether the column can contain null values.
Display: The maximum number of characters required to display the column data.
Data element: The type of data in the column.
Description: A text description of the column.

Defining Aggregator Output Data


When you output data from an Aggregator stage, the properties of output links and the
column definitions of the data are defined on the Outputs page in the Aggregator Stage
dialog box.

The Outputs page has the following field and two tabs:
• Output name. The name of the output link. Choose the link to edit from the Output
name drop-down list box. This list box displays all the output links from the stage.
• General. Displayed by default. Contains an optional description of the link.
• Columns. Contains a grid displaying the column definitions for the data being output
from the stage. The grid has the following columns:
Column name. The name of the column.
Group. Specifies whether to group by the data in the column.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 73 of 202☻


Derivation. Contains an expression specifying how the data is aggregated. This is a
complex cell, requiring more than one piece of information. Double-clicking the
cell opens the Derivation

Transformer Stages

Transformer stages do not extract data or write data to a target database. They are used to
handle extracted data, perform any conversions required, and pass data to another
Transformer stage or a stage that writes data to a target data table.

Using a Transformer Stage

Transformer stages can have any number of inputs and outputs. The link from the main
data input source is designated the primary input link. There can only be one primary
input link, but there can be any number of reference inputs.
When you edit a Transformer stage, the Transformer Editor appears. An example
Transformer stage is shown below. In this example, metadata has been defined for the
input and the output links.

Link Area

The top area displays links to and from the Transformer stage, showing their columns and
the relationships between them. The link area is where all column definitions, key
expressions, and stage variables are defined. The link area is divided into two panes; you
can drag the splitter bar between them to resize the panes relative to one another. There is
also a horizontal scroll bar, allowing you to scroll the view left or right. The left pane
shows input links, the right pane shows output links. The input link shown at the top of
the left pane is always the primary link. Any subsequent links are reference links. For all
types of link, key fields are shown in bold. Reference link key fields that have no
expression defined are shown in red (or the color defined in Tools ‰ Options), as are
output columns that have no derivation defined.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 74 of 202☻


Within the Transformer Editor, a single link may be selected at any one time. When
selected, the link’s title bar is highlighted, and arrowheads indicate any selected
columns.

Metadata Area

The bottom area shows the column metadata for input and output links. Again this area is
divided into two panes: the left showing input link metadata and the right showing output
link metadata. The metadata for each link is shown in a grid contained within a tabbed
page. Click the tab to bring the required link to the front. That link is also selected in the
link area.
If you select a link in the link area, its metadata tab is brought to the front automatically.
You can edit the grids to change the column metadata on any of the links. You can also
add and delete metadata.

Input Links

The main data source is joined to the Transformer stage via the primary link, but the
stage can also have any number of reference input links.

A reference link represents a table lookup. These are used to provide information that
might affect the way the data is changed, but do not supply the actual data to be
changed. Reference input columns can be designated as key fields. You can specify key
expressions that are used to evaluate the key fields. The most common use for the key
expression is to specify an equi-join, which is a link between a primary link column and a
reference link column. For example, if your primary input data contains names and
addresses, and a reference input contains names and phone numbers, the reference link
name column is marked as a key field and the key expression refers to the primary link’s
name column. During processing, the name in the primary input is looked up in the
reference input. If the names match, the reference data is consolidated with the primary
data. If the names do not match, i.e., there is no record in the reference input whose key
matches the expression given, all the columns specified for the reference input are set to
the null value.

Output Links

You can have any number of output links from your Transformer stage. You may want to
pass some data straight through the Transformer stage unaltered, but it’s likely that you’ll
want to transform data from some input columns before outputting it from the
Transformer stage. You can specify such an operation by entering a BASIC expression or
by selecting a transform to apply to the data. DataStage has many built-in transforms, or
you can define your own custom transforms that are stored in the Repository and can be
reused as required. The source of an output link column is defined in that column’s
Derivation cell within the Transformer Editor. You can use the Expression Editor to
enter expressions or transforms in this cell. You can also simply drag an input column to
an output column’s Derivation cell, to pass the data straight through the Transformer

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 75 of 202☻


stage. In addition to specifying derivation details for individual output columns, you can
also specify constraints that operate on entire output links. A constraint is a BASIC
expression that specifies criteria that data must meet before it can be passed to the output
link. You can also specify a reject link, which is an output link that carries all the data not
output on other links, that is, columns that have not met the criteria. Each output link is
processed in turn. If the constraint expression evaluates to TRUE for an input row, the
data row is output on that link. Conversely, if a constraint expression evaluates to FALSE
for an input row, the data row is not output on that link.
Constraint expressions on different links are independent. If you have more than one
output link, an input row may result in a data row being output from some, none, or all
of the output links. For example, if you consider the data that comes from a paint shop, it
could include information about any number of different colors. If you want to separate
the colors into different files, you would set up different constraints. You could output the
information about green and blue paint on Link A, red and yellow paint on Link B, and
black paint on Link C. When an input row contains information about yellow paint, the
Link A constraint expression evaluates to FALSE and the row is not output on Link A.
However, the input data does satisfy the constraint criterion for Link B and the rows
are output on Link B. If the input data contains information about white paint, this does
not satisfy any constraint and the data row is not output on Links A, B or C, but will be
output on the reject link. The reject link is used to route data to a table or file that is a
“catch-all” for rows that are not output on any other link. The table or file containing
these rejects is represented by another stage in the job design.

Inter-Process Stages

An inter-process (IPC) stage is a passive stage which provides a communication channel


between DataStage processes running simultaneously in the same job. It allows you to
design jobs that run on SMP systems with great performance benefits. To understand the
benefits of using IPC stages, you need to know a bit about how DataStage jobs actually
run as processes,

In this example the job will run as two processes, one handling the communication from
sequential file stage to IPC stage, and one handling communication from IPC stage to
ODBC stage. As soon as the Sequential File stage has opened its output link, the IPC
stage can start passing data to the ODBC stage. If the job is running on a multi-processor
system, the two processor can run simultaneously so the transfer will be much faster. You
can also use the IPC stage to explicitly specify that connected active stages should run as

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 76 of 202☻


separate processes. This is advantageous for performance on multi-processor systems.
You can also specify this behavior implicitly by turning inter process row buffering on,
either for the whole project via DataStage Administrator, or individually for a job in its
Job Properties dialog box.

Using the IPC Stage

When you edit an IPC stage, the InterProcess Stage dialog box appears.

This dialog box has three pages:


• Stage. The Stage page has two tabs, General and Properties. The General page allows
you to specify an optional description of the page. The Properties tab allows you to
specify stage properties.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 77 of 202☻


• Inputs. The IPC stage can only have one input link. the Inputs page displays
information about that link.
• Outputs. The IPC stage can only have one output link. The Outputs page displays
information about that link.

Defining IPC Stage Properties

The Properties tab allows you to specify two properties for the IPC stage:
• Buffer Size. Defaults to 128 Kb. The IPC stage uses two blocks of memory; one block
can be written to while the other is read from. This property defines the size of each
block, so that by default 256 Kb is allocated in total.
• Timeout. Defaults to 10 seconds. This gives time limit for how long the stage will wait
for a process to connect to it before timing out. This normally will not need changing, but
may be important where you are prototyping multi-processor jobs on single processor
platforms and there are likely to be delays.

Defining IPC Stage Input Data

The IPC stage can have one input link. This is where the process that is writing
connects.
The Inputs page has two tabs: General and Columns.
• General. The General tab allows you to specify an optional description of the stage.
• Columns. The Columns tab contains the column definitions for the data on the input
link. This is normally populated by the metadata of the stage connecting on the input
side. You can also Load a column definition from the Repository, or type one in yourself
(and Save it to the Repository if required). Note that the metadata on the input link must
be identical to the metadata on the output link.

Defining IPC Stage Output Data

The IPC stage can have one output link. This is where the process that is reading
connects.
The Outputs page has two tabs: General and Columns.
• General. The General tab allows you to specify an optional description of the stage.
• Columns. The Columns tab contains the column definitions for the data on the input
link. This is normally populated by the metadata of the stage connecting on the input
side. You can also Load a column definition from the Repository, or type one in yourself
(and Save it to the Repository if required). Note that the metadata on the output link must
be identical to the metadata on the input link.

Link Partitioner Stage:

The Link Partitioner stage is an active stage which takes one input and allows you to
distribute partitioned rows to up to 64 output links. The stage expects the output links to

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 78 of 202☻


use the same metadata as the input link. Partitioning your data enables you to take
advantage of a multi-processor system and have the data processed in parallel. It can be
used in conjunction with the Link Collector stage to partition data, process it in parallel,
and then collect it together again before writing it to a single target.

In order for this job to compile and run as intended on a multi-processor system you must
have inter-process buffering turned on, either at project level using the DataStage
Administrator, or at job level from the Job Properties dialog box.

Defining Link Partitioner Stage Properties

The Properties tab allows you to specify two properties for the Link Partitioner stage:

• Partitioning Algorithm. Use this property to specify the method the stage uses to
partition data. Choose from:
– Round-Robin. This is the default method. Using the round-robin method the stage will
write each incoming row to one of its output links in turn.
– Random. Using this method the stage will use a random number generator to distribute
incoming rows evenly across all output links.
– Hash. Using this method the stage applies a hash function to one or more input column
values to determine which output link the row is passed to.
– Modulus. Using this method the stage applies a modulus function to an integer input
column value to determine which output link the row is passed to.

• Partitioning Key. This property is only significant where you have chosen a
partitioning algorithm of Hash or Modulus. For the Hash algorithm, specify one or more
column names separated by commas. These keys are concatenated and a hash function
applied to determine the destination output link. For the Modulus algorithm, specify a
single column name which identifies an integer numeric column. The value of this
column value determines the destination output link.

Link Collector Stages

The Link Collector stage is an active stage which takes up to 64 inputs and allows you to
collect data from this links and route it along a single output link. The stage expects the

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 79 of 202☻


output link to use the same metadata as the input links. The Link Collector stage can be
used in conjunction with a Link Partitioner stage to enable you to take advantage of a
multi-processor system and have data processed in parallel. The Link Partitioner stage
partitions data, it is processed in parallel, then the Link Collector stage collects it together
again before writing it to a single target.

The following diagram illustrates how the Link Collector stage can be used in a job in
this way.

In order for this job to compile and run as intended on a multi-processor system you must
have inter-process buffering turned on, either at project level using the Data Stage
Administrator, or at job level from the Job Properties dialog box.

Defining Link Collector Stage Properties

The Properties tab allows you to specify two properties for the Link Collector stage:
• Collection Algorithm. Use this property to specify the method the stage uses to collect
data. Choose from:
– Round-Robin. This is the default method. Using the round-robin method the stage will
read a row from each input link in turn.
– Sort/Merge. Using the sort/merge method the stage reads multiple sorted inputs and
writes one sorted output.
• Sort Key. This property is only significant where you have chosen a collecting
algorithm of Sort/Merge. It defines how each of the partitioned data sets are known to be
sorted and how the merged output will be sorted. The key has the following format:
Column name {sort order] [,Column name [sort order]]...

INFORMATICA Vs DATASTAGE:

Gartner has vendor reports on Ascential and Informatica. They also have a magic
quadrant that lists both DataStage and Informatica as the clear market leaders. I don't
think you can go wrong with either product, it comes down to whether you can access
experts in these products for your project and what options you have for training. I think
if you go into a major project with either product and you don't have an expert on your
team it can go badly wrong.

Further mistakes in your comparison, mainly from a DataStage based angle as my


experience is with that product:
- Both DataStage and Informatica support XML. DataStage comes with XML
input, transformation and output stages.
- Both products have an unlimited number of transformation functions since you
can easily write your own using the command interface.
- Both products have options for integrating with ERP systems such as SAP,
PeopleSoft and Seibel but these come at a significant extra cost. You may need to
evaluate these. SAP is a reseller of DataStage for SAP BW, PeopleSoft bundles
DataStage in its EPM products.
- DataStage has some very good debugging facilities including the ability to step
through a job link by link or row by row and watch data values as a job executes.
Also server side tracing.
- DataStage 7.x releases have intelligent assistants (wizards) for creating the
template jobs for each type of slowly changing dimension table loads. The
DataStage Best Practices course also provides training in DW loading with SCD
and surrogate key techniques.
- Ascential and Informatica both have robust metadata management products.
Ascential MetaStage comes bundled free with DataStage Enterprise and manages
metadata via a hub and spoke architecture. It can import metadata from a wide
range of databases and modelling tools and has a high degree of interaction with
DataStage for operational metadata. Informatica SuperGlue was released last
year and is rated more highly by Gartner in the metadata field. It integrates
closely with PowerCenter products. They both support multiple views (business
and technical) of metadata plus the functions you would expect such as impact
analysis, semantics and data lineage.
- DataStage can send emails. The sequence job has an email stage that is easy to
configure. DataStage 7.5 also has new mobile device support so you can
administer your DataStage jobs via a palm pilot. There are also 3rd party web
based tools that let you run and review jobs over a browser. I found it easy to
send sms admin messages from a DataStage Unix server.
- DataStage has a command line interface. The dsjob command can be used by any
scheduling tool or from the command line to run jobs and check the results and
logs of jobs.

- Both products integrate well with Trillium for data quality, DataStage also
integrate with QualityStage for data quality. This is the preferred method of
address cleansing and fuzzy matching.

How Should We Implement A Slowly Changing Dimension?

Currently, our data warehouse has only Type 1 Slowly Changing Dimensions
(SCD). That is to say we overwrite the dimension record with every update. The
problem with that is when data changes, it changes for all history while this is valid for
data entry corrections, it may not be valid for all data. An acceptable example could be
Customer Date of Birth. If the date of birth was changed, chances are the reason was that
their data was incorrect.

However, if the Customer address were changed, this may and probably does mean the
customer moved. If we simply overwrite the address then all sales for that customer will
belong to the new address. Suppose the customer moved from Florida to Ohio. If we
were trying to track sales patterns by region, all of the customer’s purchase that were
made in Florida would now appear to have been made in Ohio.

Type 1 Slowly Changing Dimension

CODE
ID CustKey Name DOB City State
1001 BS001 Bob Smith 6/8/1961 Dayton OH
1002 LJ004 Lisa Jones 10/15/1954 Miami FL

In the example above, the DOB change doesn’t affect any dimensional reporting
facts. However, the City, State change would have an affect. Now all sales for Bob
Smith would appear to come from Dayton, Ohio rather than from Tampa, Florida.

The solution we have chosen for solving this problem is to implement a Type 2 slowly
changing dimension. A Type 2 SCD records a separate row each time a value is changed
in the dimension. In our case, we are declaring that we will only create a new dimension
record when certain columns are changed. In the example above, we would not record a
new record for the DOB change but we would for the address change.

1003 BS001 Bob Smith 6/8/1961 Dayton OH Y 5/27/2004

As you can see, there are two dimension records for Bob Smith now. They both have the
same CustKey values, but the have different ID values. All future fact table rows will use
the new ID to link to the Customer dimension. This is accomplished by the use of the
Current Flag. The ETL process looks only at the current flag when recording new orders.
However, in the case of an update to an order the Effective Date must be used to
determine which customer the update applies to.

The primary issue with Type 2 SCD is the volume of data grows exponentially as more
changes are tracked. This can impact performance in a star schema. The principle
behind the star schema design is that while facts are few columns, they have many rows
but they only have to perform single level joins to resolve their dimensions. The
assumption is that the dimensions have lots of columns but relatively few rows. This
allows for very fast joining of data.

Conforming Dimensions

For the purposes of this discussion conforming dimensions only need a brief
definition. Conforming dimensions are a feature of star schemas that allow facts to share
dimensional data. A conforming dimension occurs when two dimensions share the same
keys. Often they have different attributes. The goal is to ensure that any fact table can
link to the conforming dimension and consume its data so long as the dimension is
relevant.

1001 9211 Bob Smith Credit $10,000 BS001

In the example above, we could use the ID from the Customer dimension in a fact and in
the future a link to the Billing dimension could be established without having to reload
the data.

We are considering a slight modification to the standard Type 2 SCD. The idea is to
maintain two dimensions one as a Type 1 and one as a Type 2. The problem with this is
we lose the ability to use conforming dimensions.

1003 BS001 Bob Smith 6/8/1961 Dayton OH Y 5/27/2004

As you can see, the current ID for Bob Smith in the Type 1 SCD is 1001, while it is 1003
in the Type 2 SCD. This is not conforming.

Our solution is to create a composite key for the Type 2 SCD.

Before you design your application

You must assess your data. Data Stage jobs can be quite complex and so it is advisable to
consider the following before starting a job:

• The number and type of data sources. You will need a stage for each data
source you want to access. For each different type of data source you will need a
different type of stage.
• The location of the data. Is your data on a networked disk or a tape? You may
find that if your data is on a tape, you will need to arrange for a custom stage to
extract the data.

• Whether you will need to extract data from a mainframe source. If this is the
case, you will need Enterprise MVS Edition installed and you will use mainframe
jobs that actually run on the mainframe.

• The content of the data. What columns are in your data? Can you import the
table definitions, or will you need to define them manually? Are definitions of
the data items consistent between data sources?
• The data warehouse. What do you want to store in the data warehouse and
how do you want to store it?

To assign a null value to a variable, use this syntax:

variable = @NULL

To assign a character string containing only the character used to represent the null
value to a variable, use this syntax:

variable = @NULL.STR

Errors that occur as the files are loaded into Oracle are recorded in the sqlldr log file.

Rejected rows are written to the bad file. The main reason for rejected rows is an integrity
constraint in the target table; for example, null values in NOT NULL columns, nonunique
values in UNIQUE columns, and so on. The bad file is in the same format as the input data file

• String operators for:


• Concatenating strings with Cat or :
• Extracting sub strings with [ ]

Hello. ′ : ′My Name is ′ : X : ″. What’s yours?″

... evaluates to:

″Hello. My name is Tarzan. What’s yours?″

Field Function: Returns delimited substrings in a string

Returns delimited substrings in a string

MyString = "London+0171+NW2+AZ"
SubString = Field(Mystring, "+", 2, 2)
* returns "0171+NW2"

A=′12345′
A[3]=1212

The result is 121212.

MyString = "1#2#3#4#5"
String = Fieldstore (MyString, "#", 2, 2, "A#B")
* above results in: "1#a#B#4#5"

Operator Relation Example


Eq or = Equality X=Y
Ne or # or >< or <> Inequality X # Y, X <> Y
Lt or < Less than X<Y
Gt or > Greater than X>Y
Le or <= or =< or #> Less than or equal to X <= Y
Ge or >= or => or #< Greater than or equal to X >= Y

You cannot use relational operators to test for a null value. Use the IsNull function
instead.

Tests if a variable contains a null value.

MyVar = @Null ;* sets variable to null value


If IsNull(MyVar * 10) Then
* Will be true since any arithmetic involving a null value
* results in a null value.
End

IF Operator:

Assigns a value that meets the specified conditions

• Return A or B depending on value in Column1:


If Column1 > 100 Then "A" Else "B"

Function MyTransform(Arg1, Arg2, Arg3)


* Then and Else clauses occupying a single line each:
If Arg1 Matches "A..."
Then Reply = 1

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 87 of 202☻


Else Reply = 2
* Multi-line clauses:
If Len(arg1) > 10 Then
Reply += 1
Reply = Arg2 * Reply
End Else
Reply += 2
Reply = (Arg2 - 1) * Reply
End
* Another style of multiline clauses:
If Len(Arg1) > 20
Then
Reply += 2
Reply = Arg3 * Reply
End
Else
Reply += 4
Reply = (Arg3 - 1) * Reply
End
Return(Reply)

Special DataStage BASIC Subroutines

DataStage provides some special DataStage subroutines for use in a before/after


subroutines or custom transforms. You can:

• Log events in the job's log file using DSLogInfo, DSLogWarn, DSLogFatal,
and DSTransformError
• Execute DOS or DataStage Engine commands using DSExecute

All the subroutines are called using the Call statement.

Logs an information message in a job's log file.

DataStage 7.5x1 GUI Features

New and Expanded Functionality to aid DataStage users in job design and
debugging.

• New Stored Procedure Stage:


A new stored procedure stage allows users to easily use Oracle stored procedures
written in PL/SQL via OCI. The Stored Procedure Stage supports input and output
parameters making it easier to get information back from a stored procedure. It can
return a result set via output parameters and can return more than one row if the
procedure uses cursors. The stage can also execute a stored function and returns
status information from the procedure.

• HTML Job Reporting from the Designer:


A detailed printable HTML format job report can be generated for the currently open joy or
shared container. The report can be produced using the new menu option in Designer: File ->
Generate Report. The final HTML report can be customized by applying different XSL style
sheets to the generated XML file.

• Changes to File & Directory Browser Form:


The old style File & Directory browser form has been replaced with one modeled on the
standard Windows 2K browser. The new browser provides enhanced functionality on
directory navigation (tree-oriented) and file selection, it has filtering as well as saving and
restoring capabilities for the last viewed file list.

• Ability to globally set Annotation properties:


The Annotation properties dialog is presented in the Tools -> Options dialog and the settings
are saved in the registry per user. The Annotation stage always defaults to the saved settings.

• Ability to unset Environment Variables when a Job Runs ($UNSET):


A special value $UNSET was introduced where there is a need for a user defined
environment variable to explicitly unset the Unix environment variable to indicate false.

A dialog that provides information about what all the special environment variable values are
and what they are for is available by double-clicking at:
- Job properties dialog, Parameters tab, when editing the Default Value cell for a job
parameter defined as an environment variable.
- Admin Client, Environment dialog, when editing a value cell.

Article II.
• Transformer “Cancel” operation:
If the Cancel button or <ESC> key are pressed from the main Transformer dialog and
changes have been made, then a confirmation message box is displayed, to check that the user
wants to quit without saving the changes. If no changes have been made, no confirmation
message is displayed.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 93 of 202☻


• Multi-Client Manager:
The previously unsupported “Client Switcher” tool has been enhanced and integrated into the
DataStage Client. This tool allows the users to install and switch between multiple different
versions of the client. Switching between them also changes the desktop shortcuts and the
Start Menu group to point to another installed DataStage client.

Enterprise Edition:
• Complex Flat File Stage:
A new Parallel Complex Flat File stage has been added to read or write files that contain
complex structures (for example groups, arrays, redefines, occurs depending on, etc.). Arrays
from complex source can be passed as-is or optionally flattened or normalized.

• Parallel Job Runtime Message Handling:


When DataStage parallel jobs are run they can generate a large number of messages that are
logged and may be viewed in the Director Client.
Note: When the Local Run button is disabled, you cannot view log information from the
Director. Someone authorized to do so can enable the Local Run via the Apiary.

Message Handlers allow the user to customize the severity of individual messages and can be
applied at project of job level. Messages can be suppressed from the log (Information and
Warning messages only), promoted (from Information to Warning) or demoted (from
warning to Information). A message handler management tool (available from DS Manager
and Director) provides options to edit, add or delete message handlers. A new Director
option allows message handling to be enabled/disabled for the current job.

• Visual Cues in Designer – Designer time job validation:


For parallel jobs (including parallel shared containers) and job sequences, errors that would
occur during compilation are optionally presented on the canvas without requiring the user to
explicitly compile the job. If there are potential problems with the stage that would cause a
compilation error, a warning triangle icon (Visual Cue) is shown on the top of the stage.
When the user hovers the mouse over a stage with the Visual Cue, a tool tip is displayed. The
Visual Cues can be turned off via a toolbar button (a ‘tick’ image).

• Additional properties for Parallel Job Stages:


- File Name Column (optional) – add a column to the stage output that contains the name
of the file that the record is sourced from. Available on Sequential File and File Set
Stages.
- Source Name Column (optional) – adds a column to the stage output that contains the
name of the source that the record is sourced from. Available on External Source Stage.
- Row Number Column (optional) – adds a column to the stage output that contains the
row number of the record. Available on Sequential File, File Set and External Source
Stages.
- Read First Rows (optional) – constrains the stage to only read the specified number of
rows from each file. Available on Sequential File Stage.
- First Line is Column Names (mandatory) – on reading this tells the stage to ignore the
first line since it contains column names. On writing it causes the first line written to be
the column names. Available on Sequential File Stage.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 94 of 202☻


• View Data functionality on the Source & Target custom stages:
- View data support was added to custom parallel stages for both source and targets.
- “Show file” had been replaced with “View Data” for Parallel Job, Sequential File and
File Set stages.

• New Parallel Job Advanced Developer’s Guide:


A new Parallel Job Advanced Developer’s Guide gives DataStage Enterprise Edition users
information on efficient job design, stage usage, performance turning, and more. It also
documents all of the parallel environment variables available for use.

CheckIdocsSent:

Checks If Idoc delivery job actually sent any Idocs to SAP.

This routine will atempt to read the DataStage Director log for the job name
specified as an argument.

If the job has a fatal error with "No link file", the routine will copy the IDOC link
file(s) into the interface error folder.
In case the fatal error above is not found the routine aborts the job.

A simple log of which runs produce error link file is maintained in the module's log
directory.

Sequence number generator.


Routine to get the next sequence number to use for a customer from a file, and save
the usde value in the file.

The routine argument is the name associated with the super group that the
customer is being created in.

The routine uses a file to store the next available number. It reads the number, then
increments and stores the value in common, writing the next value back to file each
time.

* Routine to generate the next customer number. The argument is a


string used to
* identify the super group for the customer.
*
* The routine uses a UniVerse file to store the next number to use.
This
* value is stored in a record named after the supplied argument. The
* routine reads the number, then increments and stores the value
* in common storage, writing the next value back to file each time.

GetNextErrorTableID:
Sequence number generator in a concurrent environment.

Routine to generate a sequential number.

The routine argument is the name associated with the sequence.

The routine uses a file to store the next available number. It reads the number from
the file on each invocation; a lock on the file prevents concurrent access.

* Routine to generate a sequential number. The argument is a string


used to
* identify the sequence.
*
* NOTE: This routine uses locking to allow multiple processes to access
the
* same sequence.
*
* The routine uses a UniVerse file to store the next number to use.
This
* value is stored in a record named after the supplied argument. The
* routine always attempts to read the number from the file, so that the
* record for the sequence becomes locked. It increments and stores the
* value in common storage, writing the next value back to file each
* time. Writing back this value frees the lock.

MandatoryFieldCheck: Check whether the field name passed is mandatory

Routine to check to see if the passed field is populated, and if not, to check to see if it
is mandatory. If the field contains "?", then it is handled as if it is blank.

The routine uses a control table containing process name, field name, group name
and exclusion flag to control mandatory or not.

The routine arguments are the field name, the field, the group key, whether this is
the first mandatory check for the record, and the process name when the first check
flag is "Y".

A variable kept in memory (Mandlist) is used to record the mandatory check


failures.

When the passed field name is "Getmand", no processing is performed except to


return the Mandlist field.

* Routine to check whether the passed field is filled, and if not,


whether it is mandatory.

SetDSParamsFromFile:

A before job subroutine to set Job parameters from an external flat


file

Input Arg should be of the form:


ParamDir,ParamFile
If ParamDir is not supplied, the routine assumes the Project directory
If ParamFile is not supplied, the routine assumes the Job Name (this
could be dangerous)
The routine will abort the job if anything doesn't go to plan

Note: a lock is placed to stop the same job from running another
instance of this routine. The second instance will have to wait for the
routine to finish before being allowed to proceed. The lock is released
however the routine terminates (normal, abort...)

The parameter file should contain non-blank lines of the form


ParName = ParValue
White space is ignored.

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 140 of 202☻


The Routine may be invoked via the normal Before Job Subroutine
setting, or from within the 'Job Properties->Job Control' window by
entering "Call DSU.SetParams('MyDir,MyFile',ErrorCode)"

For Andrew Webb's eyes only -

The routine could be made to work off a hashed file, or environment


variables quite easily.

It is not possible to create Job Parameters on-the-fly because they are


referenced within a Job via an EQUATE of the form

JobParam%%1 = STAGECOM.STATUS<7,1>
JobParam%%2 = STAGECOM.STATUS<7,2> etc

This is then compiled up....So forget it!

STAGECOM.JOB.STATUS<JOB.PARAM.VALUES> = ParamValues
vnput Arg should be of the form:
ParamDir,ParamFile
If ParamDir is not supplied, the routine assumes the Project directory
If ParamFile is not supplied, the routine assumes the Job Name (this
could be dangerous)
The routine will abort the job if anything doesn't go to plan

Note: a lock is placed to stop the same job from running another
instance of this routine. The second instance will have to wait for the
routine to finish before being allowed to proceed. The lock is released
however the routine terminates (normal, abort...)

The parameter file should contain non-blank lines of the form


ParName = ParValue
White space is ignored.

The Routine may be invoked via the normal Before Job Subroutine
setting, or from within the 'Job Properties->Job Control' window by
entering "Call DSU.SetParams('MyDir,MyFile',ErrorCode)"

For Andrew Webb's eyes only -

oraveen@yahoo.com ☻Page 171 of 202☻


The routine could be made to work off a hashed file, or environment
variables quite easily.

It is not possible to create Job Parameters on-the-fly because they are


referenced within a Job via an EQUATE of the form

JobParam%%1 = STAGECOM.STATUS<7,1>
JobParam%%2 = STAGECOM.STATUS<7,2> etc

This is then compiled up....So forget it!
