    If there is a job having more no of stages say around 20 stages. Then generate the output to an intermediate file like a dataset using the first 10 stages. After generating this use this intermediate dataset to comibine with the remaining stages and then generate the final file

    Use Pivot enterprise stage and select vertical pivoting. Also perform sort in the stage using the partitioning as Hash. Take Dept_number as group by column and Employee_name as Pivot column and the output will be in the form of Dept_number|Employee list. For example:
    10|A|B|C|D
    20|P|Q|R|S

    First sort the columns Department_no and employee_name in ascending order. Then use the stage variables. current=department_no result= If current=prev then result:,:employee_name else employee_n...

    * You can have a single stage variable svSum with initial value = 0.
    * And keep the derivation as svSum = svSum + Salary

    You can use following steps :-
    1. Create 2 stage variables
    a. stgvar1=> salary+ stgvar2
    b. stgvar2=> stgvar1
    Note :- Set initial value of stgvar2=0.

    Assign stgvar2 to cumulative_sum column.

    1. Source-->sort(dept,sal), partition (hash(dept))
    2. Transformer(rank=inrownum (inrownum will be rownumber in a partition which is nothing but rank)

    Job flow sequential_file-> eggregate->sort->tranformer-> sequential

    fast aggregate stage use count rows and add extra column seq_no
    next stage sort -key source column sort order ascending.
    tranformer stage use loop while ex-@ITERATION

    Seq file>transformer>Seq file
    1.Mode of execution in transformer must be sequential and data must be sorted on col1
    2. Transformer logic:
    Stv1=Input column
    Stv2=if Stv1=Stv3 Then Stv2+1 Else 1
    Stv3=Stv1
    3.Output of transformer
    Col1,Col2
    Input column,Stv2

  • Single column with multiple rows should be converted into single row with commas in datastage

    Can any one help.... I have single column in Source like..... a b c d want target as..... a,b,c,d thanks in advance

    Use the stag variable in the transformer
    StageVar=StageVar:,: input column name
    go to the constraints :-Lastrow()
    map that stage variable to the output column

    You can create a other array with some size and insert data in single array from double array for more see the following code for(int i=0;i

    Code
    1. class TestClass{
    2.           public static void main(String l[])
    3.           {
    4.                   int [][]a={{1},{2},{3},{4},{5}};
    5.                   int a1[]=new int[6];
    6.                   int k=0;
    7.                   for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)
    8.                   {
    9.                           for(int j=0;j<a[i].length;j++)
    10.                           {
    11.                                  
    12.                                
    13.                                   a1[k]=a[i][j];
    14.                                   k++;
    15.                                 System.out.println(a[i][j]);
    16.                           }
    17.                          
    18.                   }
    19.                  
    20.          
    21.        
    22.  for(int i=0;i<a1.length;i++)
    23.  {
    24.         System.out.print(a1[i]);
    25.  }
    26.           }
    27.  
    28.  }

    Without using Pivot stage..
    Source --> COPY
    COPY --> Head(1) --> File1
    COPY --> Head(2) -->Tail(1) --> File2
    COPY --> Tail(1)-->File3
    now merge all file1,file2,file3 --> Target.
    Pls check it may work.

    Use 2 stage variable in transformer
    Stagevar: if Stagevar1=sno then marks:",":Stagevar Else marks
    Stagevar1: sno

    map stageVar to marks
