    1) Sequential file stage we can use UNIX commands and in dataset stage we cant use UNIX commands.
    2) Sequential file stage filename save as .txt and dataset - .ds

    Delete Duplicates Using Transformer

    1.Without using stage variable how can we delete the duplicates using Transformer?

    2.If we will remove duplicates using Transformer then minimum how many stage variable required for this?

    The prerequisite for this is data should be partitioned by a key and sorted.
    Later, follow the below steps:
    S2 = if input.column = S1 then 0 else 1
    S1 = input.column
    In constraint : S2=1

    And, you will get the expected result.

    In the transformer STAGE PROPERTIES --> select the INPUT table --> Under that select PARTITIONING --> select HASH --> Select the I/P column and select the Sort and Unique checkbox.

    We can use the option "generate multiple files" in sequential file stage and then assign the data column as Key. SO with every change in key it will generate a new target file.

    File -->> Sort -->> Transformer -->> O/P File
    Sort:
    Define the key field and in Property set Key Change column as TRUE.
    Transformer:
    In Constraints put the below condition:
    KeyChange=1 for Unique record O/P
    KeyChange=0 for Duplicate O/P.

    Src->Sggr->Trans->Target(3)
    1) Unique- send as it is with link sort
    2) Duplicate only- Loop through Count of each row count (constraint Count . 1)
    3)Unique Only- Constraints Count = 1

    Use Upsert function in database connector stage. Or use lookup stage to perform lookup on the source and reference as your target data and load into your target stage

    Use below constraints in xfm to move the data into 3 different columns. Make the xfm partition to run sequential.
    mod(@inrownum,3) = 1
    mod(@inrownum,3) = 2
    mod(@inrownum,3) = 0

    This will move first record to first output file, second to second and third record to third reference link.

    Out of all those , i am not able to find/call them in a transformer , like @LOGNAME , while i use this in a stage variable, it throws error , saying its not defined. I am using Datastage 11.5 version. Any idea how to get this done ?

    Single Datastage Job Different Output

    I have to design a job, if I run the job it should get 10 records from emp, if another person runs he should get all the records form emp. How to design such a job?

    Shaktimaan

    • May 2nd, 2018

    If you are using Sequential file stage, there we have an option "Read the first row", make it parametrized.
    and pass the value to the job using dsjob command as the parameter. also, you may like to use Invocation ID as you need to run the job with the different instances.

    Which partition we have to use for Aggregate Stage in parallel jobs ?

    Anjaneyulu Pagadala

    • Mar 15th, 2018

    Hash partitioning and in link sorting on grouping keys give better performance and correct results if it is in parallel mode and Auto partition will give correct results if there is no sorting happened only one of the keys we are grouping in previous stage
