Field mapping using Transformer stage:
Requirement:
field will be right justified zero filled, Take last 18 characters
Solution:
Right("0000000000":Trim(Lnk_Xfm_Trans.link),18)
Scenario 1:
We have two datasets with 4 cols each with different names. We should create a dataset with 4 cols 3 from one dataset and one col with the record count of one dataset.
We can use aggregator with a dummy column and get the count from one dataset and do a look up from other dataset and map it to the 3 rd dataset
Something similar to the below design:
Scenario 2:
Following is the existing job design. But requirement got changed to: Head and trailer datasets should populate even if detail records is not present in the source file. Below job don't do that job.
Hence changed the above job to this following requirement:
Used row generator with a copy stage. Given default value( zero) for col( count) coming in from row generator. If no detail records it will pick the record count from row generator.
We have a source which is a sequential file with header and footer. How to remove the header and footer while reading this file using sequential file stage of Datastage?
Sol:Type command in putty: sed '1d;$d' file_name>new_file_name (type this in job before job subroutine then use new file in seq stage)
IF I HAVE SOURCE LIKE COL1 A A B AND TARGET LIKE COL1 COL2 A 1 A 2 B1. HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS OUTPUT USING STAGE VARIABLE IN TRANSFORMER STAGE?
If keyChange =1 Then 1 Else stagevaraible+1
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.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 many 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 get successful massage
Question: I want to process 3 files in sequentially one by one how can i do that. while processing the files it should fetch files automatically .
Ans:If the metadata for all the files r same then create a job having file name as parameter then use same job in routine and call the job with different file name...or u can create sequencer to use the job..
Parameterize the file name.
Build the job using that parameter
Build job sequencer which will call this job and will accept the parameter for file name.
Write a UNIX shell script which will call the job sequencer three times by passing different file each time.
RE: What Happens if RCP is disable ?
In such case Osh has to perform Import and export every time when the job runs and the processing time job is also increased...
Runtime column propagation (RCP): If RCP is enabled for any job and specifically for those stages whose output connects to the shared container input then meta data will be propagated at run time so there is no need to map it at design time.
If RCP is disabled for the job in such case OSH has to perform Import and export every time when the job runs and the processing time job is also increased.
Then you have to manually enter all the column description in each stage.RCP- Runtime column propagation

Solution:
it is reverse to pivote stage
use
seq------sort------tr----rd-----tr----tg
in the sort stage use create key change column is true
in trans create stage variable=if colu=1 then key c.value else key v::colum
rd stage use duplicates retain last
tran stage use field function superate columns
similar Scenario: :
source

You can get it by using Sort stage --- Transformer stage --- RemoveDuplicates --- Transformer --tgt
Ok
First Read and Load the data into your source file( For Example Sequential File )
And in Sort stage select key change column = True ( To Generate Group ids)
Go to Transformer stage
Create one stage variable.
You can do this by right click in stage variable go to properties and name it as your wish ( For example temp)
and in expression write as below
if keychange column =1 then column name else temp:',':column name
This column name is the one you want in the required column with delimited commas.
On remove duplicates stage key is col1 and set option duplicates retain to--> Last.
in transformer drop col3 and define 3 columns like col2,col3,col4
in col1 derivation give Field(InputColumn,",",1) and
in col1 derivation give Field(InputColumn,",",2) and
in col1 derivation give Field(InputColumn,",",3)
Scenario:
12)Consider the following employees data as source?
employee_id, salary
-------------------
10, 1000
20, 2000
30, 3000
40, 5000
Create a job to find the sum of salaries of all employees and this sum should repeat for all the rows.
The output should look like as
employee_id, salary, salary_sum
-------------------------------
10, 1000, 11000
20, 2000, 11000
30, 3000, 11000
40, 5000, 11000
Scenario:
I have two source tables/files numbered 1 and 2.
In the the target, there are three output tables/files, numbered 3,4 and 5.
The scenario is that,
to the out put 4 -> the records which are common to both 1 and 2 should go.
to the output 3 -> the records which are only in 1 but not in 2 should go
to the output 5 -> the records which are only in 2 but not in 1 should go.
sltn:src1----->copy1------>----------------------------------->output_1(only left table)
Join(inner type)----> ouput_1
src2----->copy2------>----------------------------------->output_3(only right table)
Consider the following employees data as source?
employee_id, salary
-------------------
10, 1000
20, 2000
30, 3000
40, 5000
Scenario:
Create a job to find the sum of salaries of all employees and this sum should repeat for all the rows.
The output should look like as
employee_id, salary, salary_sum
-------------------------------
10, 1000, 11000
20, 2000, 11000
30, 3000, 11000
40, 5000, 11000
sltn:
Take Source --->Transformer(Add new Column on both the output links and assign a value as 1 )------------------------> 1) Aggregator (Do group by using that new column)
2)lookup/join( join on that new column)-------->tgt.
Scenario:
sno,sname,mark1,mark2,mark3
1,rajesh,70,68,79
2,mamatha,39,45,78
3,anjali,67,39,78
4,pavani,89,56,45
5,indu,56,67,78
out put is

3,anjali,67,39,78,4
4,pavani,89,56,45,4
5,indu,56,67,78,4
seq--->trans--->seq
create one stage variable as delimiter..
and put derivation on stage as DSLink4.sno : "," : DSLink4.sname : "," : DSLink4.mark1 : "," :DSLink4.mark2 : "," : DSLink4.mark3
and do mapping and create one more column count as integer type.
and put derivation on count column as Count(delimter, ",")
scenario:
sname total_vowels_count
Allen 2
Scott 1
Ward 1
Under Transformer Stage Description:
total_Vowels_Count=Count(DSLink3.last_name,"a")+Count(DSLink3.last_name,"e")+Count(DSLink3.last_name,"i")+Count(DSLink3.last_name,"o")+Count(DSLink3.last_name,"u").
Scenario:
1)On daily we r getting some huge files data so all files metadata is same we have to load in to target table how we can load?
Use File Pattern in sequential file
2) One column having 10 records at run time we have to send 5th and 6th record to target at run time how we can send?
Can get through,by using UNIX command in sequential file filter option
How can we get 18 months date data in transformer stage?
Use transformer stage after input seq file and try this one as constraint in transformer stage :
DaysSinceFromDate(CurrentDate(), DSLink3.date_18)<=548 OR DaysSinceFromDate(CurrentDate(), DSLink3.date_18)<=546
where date_18 column is the column having that date which needs to be less or equal to 18 months and 548 is no. of days for 18 months and for leap year it is 546(these numbers you need to check).
What is differences between Force Compile and Compile ?
Diff b/w Compile and Validate?
Compile option only checks for all mandatory requirements like link requirements, stage options and all. But it will not check if the database connections are valid.
Validate is equivalent to Running a job except for extraction/loading of data. That is, validate option will test database connectivity by making connections to databases.
How to FInd Out Duplicate Values Using Transformer?
You can capture the duplicate records based on keys using Transformer stage variables.
1. Sort and partition the input data of the transformer on the key(s) which defines the duplicate.
2. Define two stage variables, let's say StgVarPrevKeyCol(data type same as KeyCol) and StgVarCntr as Integer with default value 0
where KeyCol is your input column which defines the duplicate.
Expression for StgVarCntr(1st stg var-- maintain order):
If DSLinknn.KeyCol = StgVarPrevKeyCol Then StgVarCntr + 1 Else 1
Expression for StgVarPrevKeyCol(2nd stg var):
DSLinknn.KeyCol
3. Now in constrain, if you filter rows where StgVarCntr = 1 will give you the unique records and if you filter StgVarCntr > 1 will give you duplicate records.
My source is Like
Sr_no, Name
10,a
10,b
20,c
30,d
30,e
40,f
My target Should Like:
Target 1:(Only unique means which records r only once)
20,c
40,f
Target 2:(Records which r having more than 1 time)
10,a
10,b
30,d
30,e
How to do this in DataStage....
**************
use aggregator and transformer stages
source-->aggregator-->transformat-->target
perform count in aggregator, and take two op links in trasformer, filter data count>1 for one llink and put count=1 for second link.
Scenario:
in my i/p source i have N no.of records
In output i have 3 targets
i want o/p like 1st rec goes to 1st targt and
2nd rec goes to 2nd target and
3rd rec goes to 3rd target again
4th rec goes to 1st taget ............ like this
do this ""without using partition techniques "" remember it.
*****************
source--->trans---->target
in trans use conditions on constraints
mod(empno,3)=1
mod(empno,3)=2
mod(empno,3)=0
*********************
Transformer
create 3 columns with derivation
col1 Field(colA,'_',1)
col2 Field(colA,'_',2)
col3 Field(colA,'_',3)
**************
Field function divides the column based on the delimeter,
if the data in the col is like A,B,C
then
Field(col,',',1) gives A
Field(col,',',2) gives B
Field(col,',',3) gives C
