We can use stage variable in transformer stage,

u will take 2 stage variable 1 is stg1 , 2 is stg2,
u have to write if stg2=col_n then stg1+1 else ---> stg1
col_n--->stg2 , so u can get required output

sequencer operates in two modes:ALL mode. In this mode all of the inputs to the sequencer

ritu singhai
Member Since Jul-2008 | Jul 5th, 2008
Have you set the compilation options for the sequence so that in case job aborts, you need
not to run it from from the first job. By selecting that compilation option you can run that
aborted sequence from the point the sequence was aborted.
Like for example, you have 10 jobs(job1, job2, job3 etc.) in a sequence and the job 5 aborts,
then by checking "Add checkpoints so sequence is restartable on failure" and "Automatically
handle activities that fail" you can restart this sequence from job 5 only. it will not run the
jobs 1,2,3 and 4.
Please check these options in your sequence.
Hope this helps.

Atangel
Oct 12th, 2012
Transformer is a heavier stage as apart from the orchestrate we do have the C++ operators
for various derivations. Right from compilation to execution a Transformer will always take

kkreddy

Copy stage is a passive stage and Transformer is Active and it involves the process usage
and copy does not . So its good to go with copy since it takes less time then transformer to

Stage Variables Initialization

What are the initial values of stage variables? How can we set this values?
glaciya

In my thought, the inital variables are the variables which can be defined when you just
have installed the software, in another word they are usually called default variable or you
have the first chance to create and config some variables that are used in a stage.

Always parameterized the job. Either the values are coming from Job Properties or from a Parameter

Minimise the usage of Transformer (Instead of this use Copy, modify, Filter, Row Generator)
Use SQL Code while extracting the data
3. Handle the nulls
4. Minimise the warnings
5. Reduce the number of lookups in a job design
6. Use not more than 20stages in a job
7. Use IPC stage between two passive stages Reduces processing time
8. Drop indexes before data loading and recreate after loading data into tables
9. Gen\'ll we cannot avoid no of lookups if our requirements to do lookups compulsory.
10. There is no limit for no of stages like 20 or 30 but we can break the job into small jobs then we use
dataset Stages to store the data.
1.
2.
11. IPC Stage that is provided in Server Jobs not in Parallel Jobs
12. Check the write cache of Hash file. If the same hash file is used for Look up and as well as target,
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.
19.
20.
disable this Option.

If the hash file is used only for lookup then \"enable Preload to memory\". This will improve the
performance. Also, check the order of execution of the routines.
Don\'t use more than 7 lookups in the same transformer; introduce new transformers if it exceeds 7
lookups.
Use Preload to memory option in the hash file output.
Use Write to cache in the hash file input.
Write into the error tables only after all the transformer stages.
Reduce the width of the input record - remove the columns that you would not use.
Cache the hash files you are reading from and writting into. Make sure your cache is big enough to
hold the hash files.
Use ANALYZE.FILE or HASH.HELP to determine the optimal settings for your hash files.
This would also minimize overflow on the hash file.
If possible, break the input into multiple threads and run multiple instances of the job.
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,
o
o
o
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
o
o
o
o
o
o
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.

we run the same in next day means the target files we want like
