DataStage
:: FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS::
DAY 1
Introduction for Phases of DataStage
Four different phases are in DataStage, they are
Phase I: Data Profiling
It is for source system analyses, and the analysis are
1. Column analysis,
2. Primary key analysis,
3. Foreign key analysis, by this analysis whether we can find the data is “dirty” or “not”.
4. Base Line analysis, and
5. Cross domain analysis.
Phase II: Data Quality (or also called as cleansing)
In this process we must follow inter dependent i.e., after one after one process as
shown below.
Parsing
Correcting Inter
Standardizing Dependent
Matching
Consolidated
Phase III: Data Transmission
In this ETL process is done here, the data transmission from one stage to another stage
And ETL means
E- Extract
T- Transmission
L- Load.
Phase IV: Meta Data Management - “Meta data means where the data for data”.

ETL Developer Requirements
• Q: One record for each kindle(multiple records for multiple addresses and dummy
records for joint accounts);
Kindle means information of customers.
Customer
Loan
Bank Credit card
Savings kindle
• Customer maintaining one record but handling different addresses is called ‘single
view customer’ or ‘single version of truth’.
HW explanation: Here we must read the query very care fully and understand the terminology
of the words in business perceptive. Multiple records means multiple of the
customers(records) and multiple addresses means one customer(one account) maintaining
multiple of addresses like savings/credit cards/current account/loan.

How the DWH project is under taken?
Process:
HLD
Requirements: Warehouse(WH) -HLD
x x
x TD jobs in %
Developer (70% - 80%)
as developer involves Developer system engineer Production(10%)
Migration (30%)
x TEST Production Migration
x x
here, x – cross mark that developer not involves in the flow.
– mean where the developer involves in the project and implement all TEN
requirements shown above.
• Production based companies are like IBM and so on.
• Migration means Support based companies like TCS, Cognizent,
Satyam Mahindra and so on.
In Migration: works both server and parallel jobs.
Server jobs – parallel jobs
Up to 2002 this environment worked after 2002 and up to till this environment
IBM launched X-Migrator, which convert server jobs to parallel jobs
In this it converts up to, 70% automatically
30% manually.

Reliance Fresh(taking one from group directly)
Dependent Data Mart: means the ETL process takes all manager information or dB and keep
in the Warehouse. By that the data transmission between warehouse and data mart where
depends upon by each other. Here Data mart is also called as ‘Bottom level’/ ‘mini WH’ as

shown in blue color in above figure i.e., the data of individual manager (like RF, RC, RP and
so on). Hence the data mart depends up on the WH is called dependent data mart.
Independent Data Mart: only one or individual manager i.e., data mart were directly access the
ETL process with out any help of Warehouse. That’s why its called independent data mart.
6.1 Two level approaches:
For the both approaches two layers architecture will apply.
1. Top-Bottom level approach, and
2. Bottom- Top level approach.
6.1. Top – Bottom level approach:
The level start from top means as per example Reliance group to their individual
managers their ETL process from their to Data Warehouse (top level) and from their to all
separate data marts (bottom level).
R Comm. Data Mart
R Power Data Mart
Reliance Group
Warehouse
R Fresh Data Mart
Top level Bottom level
Layer I Layer II
Top – Bottom level approach
In the above the top – bottom level is defined, and this approach is invented by W. H. Inner.
Here, warehouse is top level and all data mart are bottom level as shown in the above figure.

6.2. Bottom – top level approach:
Means from here the ETL process takes directly from data mart (DM) and the data put
in the warehouse for reference purpose or storing the DM in the Data WareHouse (DWH).

Bottom – Top level approach is invented by R Kimbell.
Here, one data mart (DM) contains information like customer, products, employees, location
and so on.
Top – Bottom level approach
These two approaches comes under two layer Architecture

DataStage
• ETL Tool’s: GUI(graph user interface)
This tool’s to “extract the data from heterogeneous source”.
• ETL program Tool’s are “Tara Data/ Oracle/ DB2 & so on…”
6.2. Four layers of DWH Architecture:
6.2.1. Layer I:
DM

Layer I Layer I
In this layer the data send directly in first case from source to Data WareHouse(DWH) and in
second case source to group of Data Marts(DM).
6.2.2. Layer II:

Layer I Layer II Layer I Layer II
TOP – BOTTOM APPROACH BOTTOM – TOP APPROACH
In this layer the data follow from source – data warehouse – data mart and this type of follow
is called “top – bottom approach”. And in another case the data follow from source – data

marts – data warehouse and this type of following data is called “bottom – top approach”. For
this Layer II architecture is explained in the above shown example eg. Reliance group.
* (99.99% using layer 3 and layer 4)
6.2.3. Layer III:
DM
Source ODS DWH DM
DM
Layer I Layer II Layer III
In this layer the data follow from source – ODS (operations data stores) – DWH – Data Marts.
Here the new concept add that is ODS means operations of data stores for at period like 6
months or one year that data used to solve instance problem where the ETL developer is not
involved here.
And who solve the instance/ temporary problems that team called Interface team is
involved here. The ODS data stores after the period into the DWH and from that it goes to DM
there the ETL developers involves here in layer 3.
The clear explanation about the layer 3 architecture in the below example, it is the best
example for clear explanation.
Example #1:
Navs notes Page 14

Source (it is waiting for landing, because of some technical problem)
(at least or max. 2hrs to solve the problem )
ETL dev. Involves here
Layer I
DM
DM
Airport terminal DWH
Interface team involves here Stores problem info for future references DM
Layer III
Layer II
Problem information captured
Data Base (stores the technical problem in dB for 1year)
OPERATIONS DATA STORE
Example explanation:
In this example, source is aero plan that is for waiting for landing to the airport
terminal. But it is not to suppose to land because of some technical problem in the airport base
station. To solve this type operations special team involves here i.e., interface team. In the
airport base station the technical problems and the Operations Data Store (ODS) in db i.e.,
simple say problem information captured.
But the ODS stores the data for one year only. And years of database stores in the data
warehouse because of some technical problems to be not repeat or for future reference. From
DWH to it goes to Data Marts here ETL developers involves for solve technical problems i.e.,
is also called layer 3 architecture of data warehouse.

DataStage
In project architecture, there are 4 layers.
In first layer source to interface files(flat files),
Coming to second layer ETL reads the flat files through the DataStage(DS) and sends
to ODS. When ETL sending the flat files to ODS if any mismatch data will there it will
drops that data. There are two types mismatch data 1. Condition mismatch 2. Format
mismatch.
In third layer the ETL transfer the data to warehouse.
In last layer data warehouse to check whether a single customer or not and data loading
or transmission in between DWH and DM(business intelligence).
Note: (Information about dropped data when the transmission done between ETL reads the flat
files(.txt, csv, .xml and so on) to ODS.)
Two types of mismatch data:
• Condition mismatch(CM) : this verify the data from flat files whether they are
conditions are correct or mismatched, if it is mismatched the record will drops
automatically. To see the drop data the reference link is used and it shows which
record is condition mismatched.
• Format mismatch(FM) : this is also like condition mismatch but it checks on the format
whether the sending data or records is format is correct or mismatched. Here also
reference link is used to see drop data.
Example for condition mismatch : An employee table contains some data
SQL> select * from emp;

Reference link

DataStage
Here the table format is tab – space separated.
The cross mark record has format mismatched so that the
record its just rejected.
7.2. Single View Customer (SCV):
It is also called as “single version of truth”.
For example:
*to make unique customer?
Same records
Phase – II > identify field by field.
Phase – III> cannot identify in this.
5 multiple records of customers
transforming
Here DataStage people involves in this process
SVC/ single version of truth
This type of transforming is also called as Reverse Pivoting.
NOTE: Business intelligence(BI DM) is for data backup of DWH & SVC(single version of truth).

Modeling: it represent in physical or logical design from our source system to target system.
o Logical design: client perspective,
o Physical design: data base perspective.

Data Modeler’s are use DM Tools
o ERWIN Forward Engineering
o ER – STUDIO Reverse Engineering
Entity relation windows (ERWIN),
Entity relation studio(ER-Studio) these two are data modeler’s where logical and
physical design is done.
Mata Data : every entity has a structure is called Meta Data(simple say ‘a data to a
data’)
o In a table there are attributes and domain, two types of domain they are 1.
Alphabetical and 2. Number.
Forward Engineering (FE): it’s starting from the scratch.
Reverse Engineering (RE): it’s create from existing system is known as RE. are simple
say “ altering the existing process”

8.1. Dimensional Table:
To find out everything as per the client requirement want to see (or) the “Lowest level
of detailed information” in the target tables is called Dimensional Table.
Q: how the tables are interconnected is shown below.
- Here taking some tables and linking with them with related to other tables.
- Like in product table.
- This link is created by using foreign key and primary key.
- Foreign Key: means which is constraint and used as reference for other table.
- Primary Key: means which is constraint, it is a combination of unique and not null.
- Surrogate key.
- Tables as follow.

De-Normalization means combining the multiple tables into one table. And
combining is done by Horizontal combine.
But it is not in all cases, that de-normalized is must and should.

E-R Model
An Entity-Relationship Model:
In logical design, there are two options to design a job. They are
1. Optional, and
2. Manual.
Mandatory is must 1- primary table & n-secondary table
EMP table DEPT table
The given two tables EMP and DEPT
Primary (or also known as Master Table)
Secondary (or also known as Child Table)
Here from above two tables the primary table is DEPT table, because is not depends
for any other table. And EMP table is secondary table because it is depends on the
DEPT table.
But when we take in real time, that we joining the two table by using Horizontal
combining it takes the EMP table as primary table and DEPT table as secondary table.
9.1. Horizontal Combine:

To perform horizontal combining we must follow these cases.
It must have multiple sources.
There should be dependency.
1 – Primary, n – secondary.
Horizontal combining is also called as JOIN.
HC means combining primary rows with secondary rows based on the primary key
column values.
There are three types of keys, they are
o Primary key,
o Foreign key, and
o Surgut key.
For example combining these two tables: EMP & DEPT tables
Fk Pk
After combining or joining the table by using HC, hence it’s like below

9.2. Different types of Schema’s:
There are four types schemas, they are
o STAR Schema,
o Snow Flake Schema,
o Multi STAR Schema, and
o Galaxy Schema.
1. STAR Schema:
In the star schema, you must know about two things
o Dimensional table, and
o Fact table.
Dimensional table: means ‘Lowest level detailed information’ of a table.
Fact Table: means it is collection of foreign key from n- dimensional tables.
Definition of STAR Schema:
“A Fact Table collection of foreign key surrounded by multiple dimensional table and
each dimensional collection of de-normalized data, it is called STAR Schema.”
The data transmission is done in two different methods,
in pictorial way it look like as below
Transmission
in practical way it directly from source to dimensional table and fact table.

Example for STAR Schema:
“As taking some tables as below to derive a star schema from that”.
Q: display what suman buy a lux product in ameerpet on January 1st week?
Bridge/ intermediate table
Product table
Brand table
Category table Pk Pk
Customer table
Unit table
Customer_Category_table
Customer table
Location table Pk Pk
Here, Pk – primary key, and
Fk – foreign key.
By above shown that fact table is surrounded by the dimensional table, and fact table is
collection of foreign key, where dimensional table is lowest level detailed information.
And fact table is also called as Bridge or Intermediate table.
But in current market STAR Schema and Snow Flake Schema is using rarely.
In the fact table, measurements mean taking the information as per client requirement
or user requirement.
As per above question, it needs information PRD_dim_tbl, Date_dim_tbl,
Cust_dim_tbl, and Loc_dim_tbl. The link is creating to the measurements i.e., for Fact
table by foreign key and primary key.

2. Snow Flake Schema:
The fact-tables surrounded by dimensional table, each dimensional table have
lookup table is called Snow Flake Schema.
For example:
Fk Pk Fk Pk Fk Pk
If we want to require the information from location table it fetch from that table and
display the client required.
To minimize the huge data at once or in a one dimensional table, some times it not
possible to bring as soon as possible if huge data in dimensional table.
That is reason we divide the dimensional table, into some tables. And that tables is
known as “look up tables”
Definition of Snow Flake Schema:
“The Fact table surrounded by dimensional tables, and each dimensional table have
look up tables is called Snow Flake Schema”.

History of DS,
Feature of DS,
Differences between 7.5.x2 and 8.0.1 versions,
Architecture of 7.5.x2 and 8.0.1 versions,
Enhancements and new features of version 8.0.1
HISTORY of DataStage
An ETL tool according year 2006 there are 600 tools in market, some of they are
DataStage Parallel Extends,
ODI(OWB),
SAS(ETL Studio),
BODI,
Abinity and so on…
But DataStage is so famous and widely used in the market and it is to expensive also.
History begins:
- In 1997, first version of DataStage is released by VMARK company i.e., US based
company, and the Mr. LEE SCHEFFLER is father of DataStage.
- Only 5 members involved in release the software into the market.
- DataStage those days called as “Data Integrator”.
Navs notes Page 28
Q: What is DataStage?
ANS: DataStage is a comprehensive ETL tool, which provides End – to – End Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) solution (here, comprehensive means good in all areas)
2010
DataStage
- There are 90% changes from 1997 to 2010 comparing to release versions.
- In 1997, Data Integrator is acquiring by company name called TORRENT.
- After two years i.e., in 1999, INFORMIX Company has acquired Data Integrator from
TORRENT Company.
- In 2000, ACENTIAL Company acquired both Data Base and Data Integrator and after
that ACENTIAL DataStage Server Edition released in this year.
o By this company the DataStage has popularized into the market from that year.
o And released software were 30 tools used to run.
- In 2002, ADSS + ORCHESTRATE means ACENTIAL company is integrated with
ORCHESTRATE company for the parallel capabilities.
o Because ORCHESTRATE (PX, UNIX) have parallel extendable capabilities in
UNIX environment.
o By integrating ADSS + ORCHESTRATE and they named as ADSSPX.
o And ADSSPX is version is 6.0, from that version parallel operations starts or
parallel capabilities starts.
o From that parallel versions gone on developing up to 7.5.1 version,
o But from 6.0 to 7.5.1 versions they supports only UNIX flavors environment.
o Because server configured only on UNIX flat form or environment.
- In 2004, a version 7.5.x2 is released that support server configuration for windows flat
form also.
o For this ADSSPX is integrated with MKS_TOOL_KIT.
o MKS_TOOL_KIT is virtual UNIX machine that brings the capabilities to
windows for support server configuration.
o NOTE: After installing the ADSSPX+MKS_TOOL_KIT into the windows, and
all the UNIX commands works in the windows flat form.
Navs notes Page 29
2010
DataStage
- In 2004, December the version 7.5.x2 were having ASCENTIAL suite components
o They are,
Profile stage,
Quality stage,
Audit stage, these are individual tools.
Meta stage,
DataStage Px,
DataStage Tx,
DataStage MUS, and so on
o There are 12 types of ASCENTIAL suite components.
- In 2005, February the IBM acquired all the ASCENTIAL suite components and the
IBM released IBM DS EE i.e., enterprise edition.
- In 2006, the IBM has made some changes to the IBM DS EE and the changes are the
integrated the profiling stage and audit stage into one, quality stage, Meta stage, and
DataStage Px.
o With the combination of four stages they have released
“IBM WEBSPHERE DS & QS 8.0”
o This is also called as “Integrated Developer Environment” i.e., IDE.
- In 2009, IBM has released another version that “IBM INFOSPHERE DS & QS 8.1”
o In current market,
7.5.x2 using 40 – 50%
8.0.1 using 30 – 40%
8.1 using 10 – 20%

o Hence, using software it is “the process of creating virtual CPU’s is called
Node Configuration.”
o Node configuration concept is exclusively work on the DataStage, it is the best
feature comparing from other ETL tools.
o For example:
An ETL job requires executing 1000records?
For above question an UNI processor takes 10mins to execute 1000
records.
But for the same question an SMP processor takes 2.5 minutes to
execute 1000 records.
It is explained clearly in below diagram.
1000 records 1000 records
Here,1000 records share
for four CPU’ hence
execution time reduced.

o As per above example, Node Configuration is also can create virtual CPU’s to
reduce the execution time for UNI processor.

of the process.

Partition parallelism:
o Partition is a distributing the data across the nodes, based on partition
techniques.
o Considering one example why we use the partition technique’s
o Example: taking some records in EMP table and some in DEPT table
EMP table have 9 records,
DEPT table have 3 records.
o After partitioning these records output must and should have 9 records, because
here primary table is 9 records.
EMP(10,20,10,30,20,10,10,20,30) and DEPT(10,20,30)

12 N2 30,20,10 20 1 total only 4 matched
But output must be 9 records
N3 10,20,30 30 1
o In the above example, only 4 records are in there in final output and 5 records
are missing for this reason the partition techniques are introduced.
o And there are two types of partition parallelism categories, in those total 8
types of partition techniques are there.
Key based
• Hash
• Modulus
• Range
• Db/2
Key less
• Same
• Random
• Entire
• Round robin
o Key based category or key based techniques will give the assurance, to the
same key column value to collected same key partition.
o Key less technique is used to append the data for joining given tables.
From above taken records we partitioning using key based.

o First partition is done by key based partition for dno, and taking a separate
column as location, for that it re – distributing for the distributed data. i.e.,
known as Re – Partition.
o Reverse Partitioning:
It is also called as collecting. But it done in one case only or in one
situation only : “when the data move from parallel stage to sequential
stage the collecting happens in this case only”
Designing job in “stages”
is also called as link or pipe, this is channel it is moving data from
one stage to another stage.

Pipeline Parallelism:
“All pipes carry the data parallel and the process done simultaneously”
o In server environment: the execution process is called traditional batch
processing.
o For example: how the execution done in server environment we see
Extract Transform Load

Description of 7.5.x2 & 8.0.1 Architecture
14.1. Architecture of 7.5.x2:
* Server Components: it is divided into 3 categories, they are
a. Repository
b. Engine
c. Package Installer
Repository: is also called as project or work area.
o Here repository is also Integrated Developer Environment(IDE)
IDE performs design, compile, run, save jobs.
o Repository organize different component at one area is called collection of
components. Some of components are
Job’s
Table definition
Shared container
Navs notes Page 41
2010
DataStage
Routines ….. etc.,
o Repository is for developing application as well as storing application.
Engine: it is executing DataStage jobs and it automatically selects the partition
technique.
o Never leave any stage to auto ?
If we leave it auto, it select auto partition technique it causes effect on
the performance.
Package Installer: in this component contains two types of package installer one plug-
in and another is pack’s.
Example:
Derivers needed 1100 to install
1100 driver provide
Here, interface is also called as plug-in between computer and printer.
Packs
Best example that normal windows XP acquires Service Pack2 for more capabilities
Here, packs are used to configuration for DataStage to ERP solution.
*Client components: it is divided into 4 categories, they are

Re – Structure
17.1. File Stage:
Q: How data can read from files?
File stage can read only flat files and the formats of flat files are .txt, .csv, .xml
In .txt there are different types of formats like fwf, sc, csv, s & t, H & T.
.csv means comma separated value.
.xml means extendable markup language.
- In File Stage, there are sub–stages like sequential stage, data set, file set and so on.
o Example how a job can execute:
one sequential file(SF) to another SF.
Source Target
Navs notes Page 49
2010
DataStage
o Source file require target/output properties, and
o Target file require input/source properties.
- In source file, how we to read a file?
o On double clicking source file, we must set the properties as below
File name \\ browse the file name.
Location \\ example in c:\
Format \\ .txt, .csv, .xml
Structure \\ meta data
General properties of sequential file:
1. Setting / importing source file from local server.
2. Format selection:
- As per input file taken and the data must to be in given format
- Like “tab/ space/ comma” must to be select one them.
Navs notes Page 50
Select a file name:
File: \ c:\data\se_source_file.txt File: \? (This option for multiple purposes)
Browse buttonC:\data\se_source_file.txt
2010
DataStage
3. Column structure defining:
To get the structure of file.
- Steps for load a structure
- Import
o Sequential file
Browse the file and import
• Select the import file
o Define the structure.
These three are general properties when we design for simple job.
DAY 18
Sequential File Stage

DataStage
Sequential file stage also says as “output properties”
- For single structure format only we going to use sequential file stage.
Output Input
Properties Properties
- About Sequential File Stage and how it works:
Step1: Sequential file is file stage, that it to read flat files from different of
extensions(.txt, .csv, .xml)
Step 2: SF it reads/writes sequentially by default, when it reads/writes from single
file.
o And it also reads/writes parallel when it read/writes to or from multiple files
Step 3: Sequential stage supports one input (or) one output and one reject link.
Link :
Link is also a stage that transforms data from one stage to another stage.
o That link has divided into categories.
Stream link SF SF
Reject link SF SF
Reference link SF SF
Link Marker:
It is show how the link behaves between the transmissions from source to target.

5. BOW – TIE: it indicates when “a data transform parallel stage to parallel stage” and it is
also known as re-partitioning.
BOW – TIE
Link Color:
The link color indicates the process in execution of a job.
LINK
RED:
o A link in RED color means
case1: a stage not connected properly and
case2: job aborted
BLACK:
o A link in BLACK color means “a stage is ready”.
BLUE:
o A link in BLUE color means “ it indicates that a job execution on process”
GREEN:
o A link in GREEN color means “execution of job finished”.
Navs notes Page 54
NOTE: “Stage is an operator; operator is a pre – built in component”.
Because the stage that imports import operator for purpose of creating in Native Format.
Native Format is DataStage under stable format. So, stage is a operator.

Sequential File Stage Properties
Properties:
Read Methods: two options are
o Specific File : user or client to give specifically each file name.
o File Pattern : we can use wild card character and search for pattern i.e., * & ?
For example: C:\eid*.txt
C:\eid??.txt
Reject Mode: to handle a “format/data type/condition” miss match records.
Three options
o Continue : Drops the miss match and continue other records.
o Fail : job aborted.
o Output : its capture the drop data through the link to another sequential file.
First line or record of table: true/false.
o If it false, it display the first line also a drop record.
o Else it is true, it’s doesn’t drop the first record.
Missing File Mode: if any file name miss this option used
Two options
o Ok : drops the file name when missed.
o Error : if file name miss it aborts the job.
File Name Column: “source information at the target” it gives information about which
record in which address in local server.
Directly to add a new column to existing table and it’s displays in that column.
Row Number Column: “Source record number at target” it gives information about
which source record number at target table.
Navs notes Page 56
2010
DataStage
It is also directly to add a new column to existing table and it’s displays in that column.
Read First Rows: “will get you top first n-records rows”
o Read First Rows option will asks give n value to display the n number of
records
Filter: “blocking unwanted data based on UNIX filter commands”
Like grep, egrep, ……..so on
Example:
o grep “moon” ; \\ it is case sensitive that display only moon contained records.
o grep - i “moon” \\ it ignores the case sensitive it displays all moon records.
o grep - w “moon” \\ it displays exact match record.
Read from Multiple Nodes: we can read the data parallel from using sequential stage
Reads parallel is possible
Loading parallel is not possible
LIMITATIONS of SF:
o It should be sequential processing( process the data in sequential)
o Memory limit 2gb(.txt format)
o Problem with sequential is conversions.
Like ASCII – NF – ASCII – NF
o It is lands or resides the data “outside of boundary” of DataStage.

General settings DataStage and about Data Set
Default setting for startup with parallel job:
- Tools
o Options
Select a default
• And to create new: it ask which type of job u want.
- Types of jobs are main frames/parallel/sequential/server.
- After setting above when we restart the DS Designer it directly goes designer canvas.
According naming standards every stage has to be named.
o Naming a stage is simple, just right click on a stage rename option is visible
and name a stage as naming standards.
General Stage:
In this stage the some of stage were used for commenting a stage what they behave or
what a stage can perform to do i.e., simple giving comments for a stage.
Let we discuss on Annotation & Description Annotation
- Annotation: it is for stage comment.
- Description Annotation: it is used for job title (any one tile can keep).
Parallel Capable of 3 jobs:

DataStage
SRC TRG
Extracting landing the data into LS/RR/db
Q: In which format the data sends between the source file to target file?
A: if we send a .txt file from source, it is ASCII format because .txt file support only ASCII
format and DataStage support the Native format only, here the ASCII code will convert into
Native format that is understandable to DataStage. And at target ASCII code will convert
into .txt format to user/client visible.
“Native Format” is also called as Virtual Dataset.
NF
ASCII ASCII
src_f.txt trg_f.txt
Data Set (DS):
“It is file stage, and it is used staging the data when we design dependent jobs”.
Data Set over comes the limitation of sequential file stage for the better performance.
By default Data Set sends the data in parallel.
In Data Set the data lands in to “Native Format”.
Q: How the Data Set over comes the sequential file limitation?
- By default the data process parallel.
- More than 2 GB.
Navs notes Page 59
When we convert ASCII code into NF. SRC need to import an
When we convert NF code into ASCII. Target need to import an operator.
2010
DataStage
- No need of conversion, because Dataset represent or data directly resides into Native
format.
- The data Lands in the DataStage repository.
- Data Set extension is *.ds
Structure saving as “st_trg”
src_f.txt trg_f.ds
Q: How the conversion is easy in Data Set?
- we can copy the “trg_f.ds” file name and also we must save the structure of the
trg_f.ds example st_trg.
- We can use the saved file name and structure of the target in other job.
copying the structure st_trg
& trg_f.ds for reusing here.
trg_f.ds trg_f.txt
- Data Set can read only Native Format file, like DataStage reads only orchestrate
format.
Navs notes Page 60
2010
DataStage
DAY 21
Types of Data Set (DS)
Two types of Data Set, they are
Virtual (temporary)
Persistency (permanent)
- Virtual : it is a Data Set stage that the data moves in the link from one stage to another
stage i.e., link holds the data temporary.
- Persistency : means the data sending from the link it directly lands into the repository.
That data is permanent.
Alias of Data Set:
o ORCHESTRATE FILE
o OS FILE
Q: How many files are created internally when we created data set?
A: Data Set is not a single file; it creates multiple files when it created internally.
o Descriptor file
o Data file
o Control file
o Header file
Descriptor File : it contains schema details and address of data.
Data File: consists of data in the Native Format and resides in DataStage repository.
Control File :
Navs notes Page 61
2010
DataStage
It resides in the operating system and both acting as interface
between descriptor file and data file.
Header File :
Physical file means it stores in the local drive/ local server.
Permanently stores in the install program files c:\ibm\inser..\server\dataset{“pools”}
Q: How can we organize Data Set to view/copy/delete in real time and etc.,
A: Case1: we can’t directly delete the Data Set
Case2: we can’t directly see it or view it.
Data Set organizes using utilities.
o Using GUI i.e., we have utility in tool (dataset management)
o Using Command Line: we have to start with $orachadmin grep “moon”;
Navigation of organize Data Set in GUI:
o Tools
Dataset Management
- File_name.ds(eg.: dataset.ds)
o Then we will see the general information of dataset
Schema window
Data window
Copy window
Delete window
At command line
o $orachadmin rm dataset.ds (this is correct process) \\ this command for remove
a file
o $rm dataset.ds (this is wrong process) \\ cannot write like this
o $ds records \\ to view files in a folder

Q: What is the operator which associates to Dataset:
A: Dataset doesn’t have any operator, but it uses copy operator has a it’s operator.
Dataset Version:
- Dataset have version control
- Dataset has version for different DataStage version
- Default version in 8 is it saves in the version 4.1 i.e., v41
Q: how to perform version control in run time?
A: we have set the environment variable for this question.
Navigation for how to set a environment variable.
Job properties
o Parameters
Add environments variable
- Compile
o Dataset version ($APT_WRITE_DS_VERSION)
Click on that.
After doing this when we want to save the job, it will ask whether which version you
want.

Sequential File Stage : input properties
- Setting input properties at target file, and at target there have four properties
1. File update mode
2. Cleanup on failure
3. First line in column names
4. Reject Mode
File Update Mode: having three options – append/create (error if exists)/overwrite
o Append: when the multiple file or single file sending to sequential target it’s
appends one file after another file to single file.
o Create (error if exists): just creating a file if not exist or given wrong.
o Overwrite: it’s overwriting one file with another file.
Setting passing value in Run time(for file update mode)
o Job properties
Parameters
- Add environment variables
o Parallel
Automatically overwrite
($APT_CLOBBER_OUTPUT)
Cleanup on Failure: having two options – true/false,
True – the cleanup on failure option when it is true it adds partially coded or records.
Its works only when “file update mode” is equal to append.
False – it’s simple appends or overwrites the records.
First Line in Column Names: having two options – true/false.
True – it is enable the first row or record as a fields of column
False – it is simple reads every row include first row read as record.

In this we have three options – continue/fail/output.
Continue – it just drops when the format/condition/data type miss match the data and
continues process remain records.
Fail – it just abort the file when format/condition/data type miss match were found.
Output – it capture the drops record data.
DAY 23
Development & Debug Stage
The development and debug stage having three categories, they are
1. Stage that Generated Data:
a. Row Generated Data
b. Column Generated Data
2. The stage that used to Pick Sample Data:
a. Head
b. Tail
c. Simple
3. The stage that helps in Debugging:
a. Peek
Simply say in development and debug we having 6 types of stages and the 6 stages
where divided into three categories as above shown.
23.1. Stages that Generated Data:
Row Generator Data: “It having only one output”
Navs notes Page 66
2010
DataStage
- The row generator is for generating the sample data; in some cases it is used.
- Some cases are,
o When client unable to give the data.
o For doing testing purpose.
o To make job design simple that shoots for jobs.
- Row Generator can generate the junk data automatically by considering data type, or
we manual can set a some related understandable data by giving user define values.
- In this having only one property and select a structure for creating junk data.
Row Generator design as below:
ROW Generator DS_TRG
Navigation for Row Generator:
- Opening the RG properties
- Properties
o Number of records = XXX( user define value)
- Column
o Load structure or Meta data if existing or we can type their.
For example n=30
- Data generated for the 30 records and the junk data also generated considering the data
type.
Q: how to generate User define value instead of junk data?
A: first we must go to the RG properties
- Column
o Double click serial number or press ctrl+E
Generator
Navs notes Page 67
2010
DataStage
• Type = cycle/random (it is integer data type)
• In integer data type we have three option
Under cycle type:
There are three types of cycle generated data Increment, Initial value, and limit.
Q: when we select initial value=30?
A: it starts from 30 only.
Q: when we select increment=45?
A: it going to generate a cycle value of from 45 and after adds every number with 45.
Q: when we select limit=20?
A: it is going to generate up to limit number in a cycle form.
Under Random type:
There are three types of random generated data – limit, seed, and signed.
Q: when we select limit=20?
A: it going to generate random value up to limit=20 and continues if more than 20 rows.
Q: when we select seed=XX;
A: it is going to generate the junk data for random values.
Q: when we select signed?
A: it going to generate signed values for the field (values between –limit and +limit),
otherwise generate values between 0 and +limit.
Column Generator Data: “it having the one input and one output”
- Main purpose of column generator to group a table as one.
Navs notes Page 68
2010
DataStage
- And by using this we add extra column for the added column the junk data will be
generated in the output.
- Here mapping should be done in the column generated properties, means just drag and
dropping created column into existing table.
Sequential file Column Generator DataSet
- Coming to the column generator properties.
- To open the properties just double clicking on that.
Navigation:
- Stage
o Options
Column to generate =?
And so on we can give up to required.
- Output
o Mapping
After adding extra column it will visible here, and for mapping we drag
simple to existing table into right side of a table.
- Column
o We can change data type as you require.
In the output,
- The junk data will generate automatically for extra added columns.
- For manual we can generate some meaning full data to extra column’s
- Navigation for manual:
o Column
Ctrl+E
• Generator
Navs notes Page 69
2010
DataStage
o Algorithm = two options “cycle/ alphabet”
o Cycle – it have only one option i.e., value
o Alphabet – it also have only one option i.e., string.
- Cycle is same like above shown in row generator.
Q: when we select alphabet where string=naveen?
A: it going to generate different rows with given alphabetical wise.
DAY 24
Pick sample Data & Peek
24.1. Pick sample data: “it is a debug stage; there are three types of pick sample data”.
- Head
- Tail
- Sample
Head : “it reads the top ‘n’ records of the every partition”.
o It having one input and one output.
o In the head stage mapping must and should do.
SF_SRC HEAD DS_TRG
Properties of Head:
o Rows
Navs notes Page 70
2010
DataStage
All Rows(after skip)=false
- It is to copy all rows to the output following any requested skip
positioning
Number of rows(per partition)=XX
- It copy number of rows from input to output per partition.
o Partitions
All partition = true
- True: copies row from all partitions
- False: copies from specific partition numbers, which must be
specified.
Tail: “it is debug stage, that it can read bottom ‘n’ rows from every partition”
o Tail stage having one input and one output.
o In this stage mapping must and should do. That mapping done in the tail output
properties.
SF_SRC TAIL_F DS_TRG
Properties of Tail:
o The properties of head and tail are similar way as show above.
o Mainly we must give the value for “number of rows to display”
Sample: “it is also a debug stage consists of period and percentage”
o Period: means when it’s operating is supports one input and one output.
o Percentage: means when it’s operating is supports one input and multiple of
outputs.
Navs notes Page 71
2010
DataStage
SF_SRC SAMPLE DS_TRG
Period: if I have some records in source table and when we give ‘n’ number of
period value it displays or retrieves the every nth record from the source table.
Skip: it also displays or retrieves the every nth record from given source table.
Percentage: it reads from one input to multiple outputs.
o Coming to the properties
Options
- Percentage = 25 and we must set target =1
- Percentage = 50 , target = 0
- Percentage = 15 , target = 2
o Here we setting target number that is called link order.
o Link Order: it specifies to which output the specific data has to be send.
o Mapping: it should be done for multiple outputs.
Target1
Target2
SF_SRC SAMPLE
Navs notes Page 72
2010
DataStage
Target3
NOTE: sum of percentage of all outputs must be less than are equal to ‘<=’ to ‘n’ records of
input records.
o In the percentage it distributes the data in percentage form. When sample
receives the 90% of data from source. It considers 90% as 100% and it
distributes as we specify.
24.2. PEEK: “it is a debug stage and it helps in debugging stage”
SF_SRC PEEK
It is used in three types they are
1. It can use as copying the data from Source to multiple outputs.
2. Send the data into logs.
3. And it can use as stub stage.
Q: How to send the data into logs?
Opening properties of peek stage, we must assign
o Number of row = value?
o Peek record output mode = job log and so on, as per options
Navs notes Page 73
2010
DataStage
o If we put column name = false, it doesn’t shows the column in the log.
For seeing the log records that we stored.
o In DS Director
From Peek – log – peek - We see here ‘n’ values of records and fields
Q: When the peek act as copy stage?
A: It is done when the sequence file it doesn’t send the data to multiple outputs. In that time
the peek act as copy stage.
Q: What is Stub Stage?
A: Stub Stage is a place holder, because in some situations a client requires only dropped data.
In that time the stub stage acts as a place holder which holds the output data as temporary,
and its sends the rejected data to the another file.
DAY 25
Database Stages
In this stage we have use generally oracle enterprise, ODBC enterprise, Tara data with ODBC,
and dynamic RDBMS and so on.
25.1. Oracle Enterprise:
“Oracle enterprise is a data base stage, it reads tables from the oracle data base
from source to the target”
o Oracle enterprise reads multiple tables from, but it loads in the one output.
Oracle Enterprise Data Set
o Properties of Oracle Enterprise(OE):
Navs notes Page 74
2010
DataStage
Read Method have four options
• Auto Generated \\ it generated auto query
• SQL Builder \\ its new concept apart comparing from v7 to v8.
• Table \\ giving table name here
• User Defined \\ here we are giving user defined SQL query.
If we select table option
• Table = “<table name>”
Connection
• Password = *****
• User = Scott
• Remote server = oracle
o Navigations for how the data load to the column
This is for already data present in plug-in.
• Select load option in column
• Going to the table definitions
• Than to plug-in
• Loading EMP table from their.
If table not in the not their in plug-in.
• Select load option in column
• Then we go to import
• Import “meta data definition”
o Select related plug-in
Oracle
User id: Scott
Navs notes Page 75
2010
DataStage
Password: tiger
After loading select specific table and import.
• After importing into column, in define we must change hired
date data type as “Time Stamp”.
Q: A table containing 300 records in that, I need only 100 fields from that?
A: In read method we use user-defined SQL query to solve this problem by writing a query for
reading 100 records.
But by the first read method option, we can auto generate the query by that we can use
by coping the query statement in user-defined SQL.
Q: What we can do when we don’t know how to write a select command?
A: Selecting in read method = SQL Builder
After selecting SQL Builder option from read method
o Oracle 10g
o From their dragging which table you want
o And select column or double clicking in the dragged table
There we can select what condition we need to get.
It is totally automated.
NOTE: in version 7.5.x2 we don’t have saving and reusing the properties.
Data connection: its main purpose is reusing the saved properties.
Q: How to reuse the saved properties?
A: navigation for how to save and reuse the properties
Opening the OE properties
o Select stage
Data connection
• There load saved dc
Navs notes Page 76
2010
DataStage
o Naveen_dbc \\ it is a saved dc
o Save in table definition.
DAY 26
ODBC Enterprise
ODBC Enterprise is a data base stage
About ODBC Enterprise:
Oracle needs some plug-ins to connect the DataStage. When DataStage version7
released that time the oracle 9i provides some drivers to use.
When coming to connection oracle enterprise connects directly to oracle data base. But
ODBC needs OS drivers to hit oracle or to connect oracle data base.
Navs notes Page 77ODBC

ORACLE DB
OS
Oracle Enterprise
2010
DataStage
Directly hitting
Use OS drivers to hit the oracle db
Difference between Oracle Enterprise (OE) and ODBC Enterprise
Q: How database connect using ODBC?
ODBCE Data Set
First step: opening the properties of ODBCE
Read method = table
o Table = EMP
Connection
o Data Source = WHR \\ WHR means name of ODBC driver
Navs notes Page 78
OE ODBCE
Version dependent
Good performance
Specific to oracle
Uses plug-ins
No rejects at source
Version independent
Poor performance
For multiple db
Uses OS drivers
Reject at SRC &TRG.
2010
DataStage
o Password = ******
o User = Scott
Creating of WHR ODBC driver at OS level.
o Administration tools
ODBC
• Add
o MS ODBC for Oracle
Giving name as WHR
Providing user name= Scott
And server= tiger.
ODBCE driver at OS level having lengthy process to connect, to over this ODBC
connector were introduced.
Using ODBC Connector is quick process as we compare with ODBCE.
Best Feature by using ODBC Connector is “Schema reconciliation”. That
automatically handles data type miss match between the source data types and
DataStage data types.
Differences between ODBCE and ODBC Connector.
Navs notes Page 79
ODBCE ODBC Connector
It cannot make the list of Data Source Name (DSN).
In the ODBCE “no testing the connection”.
ODBCE read sequentially and load
It provides the list have in ODBC DSN.
In this we can test the connection by test button.
It read parallel and loads parallel (good performance).
2010
DataStage
Properties of ODBC Connector:
o Selecting Data Source Name DSN = WHR
o User name = Scott
o Password = *****
o SQL query
26.1. MS Excel with ODBCE:
First step is to create MS Excel that is called “work book”. It’s having ‘n’ number of
sheets in that.
For example CUST work book is created
Q: How to read Excel work book with ODBCE?
A: opening the properties of ODBCE
Read method = table
o Table = “empl$” \\ when we reading from excel name must be in double codes
end with $ symbol.
Connections
o DSN = EXE
o Password = *****
o User = xxxxx
Column
o Load
Import ODBC table definitions
• DSN \\ here select work book
• User id & password
Navs notes Page 80
2010
DataStage
o Filter \\ enable by click on include system tables
o And select which you need & ok
In Operating System
o Add in ODBC
MS EXCEL drivers
• Name = EXE \\ it is DSN
Q: How do you read Excel format in Sequential File?
A: By changing the CUST excel format into CUST.csv
26.2. Tara Data with ODBCE:
Tara Data is like an oracle cooperation data base, which use as a data base.
Q: How to read Tara Data with ODBC
A: we must start the Tara Data connection (by clicking shortcut).
o And in OS also we must start
Start ->control panel ->Administrator tools -> services ->
• Tara Data db initiator \\ must start here
o Add DSN in ODBC drivers
Select Tara data in add list
We must provide details as shown below
• User id = tduser
• Password = tduser
• Server : 127.0.0.1
After these things we must open the properties of ODBCE
o Read method = table
Table = financial.customer
Navs notes Page 81
2010
DataStage
o Connections
DSN = tduser
Uid = tduser
Pwd = tduser
Column
o Load
Import
• Table definitions\plug-in\taradata
• Server: 127.0.0.1
• Uid = tduser
• Pwd = tduser
After all this navigation at last we view the data, which we have load in source.
DAY 27
Dynamic RDBMS and PROCESSING STAGE
27.1. Dynamic RDBMS:
“It is data base stage; it is also called as DRS”
It supports multiple inputs and multiple outputs
Navs notes Page 82
2010
DataStage
Ln_EMP_Data Data Set
DRS
Ln_DEPT_Data
Data Set
It all most common properties of oracle enterprise.
Coming to DRS properties
o Select db type i.e., oracle
o Oracle
Scott \\ for authentication
Tiger
o At output
Ln_EMP_Data \\ set emp table here
And Ln_DEPT_Data \\ set dept table here
o Column
Load
• Meta data for table EMP & DEPT.
In oracle enterprise we can read multiple files, but we can’t load into multiple files.
We can solve this problem with DRS that we can read multiple files and load in to
multiple files.
Navs notes Page 83
2010
DataStage
Some of data base stages:
• IWay can use in source only to set in output properties.
• Netezza can use in target only to set in input properties.
27.2. Processing Stage:
In this 28 processing stages are there, but we use 10 stages generally. And the 10
stages are very important.
They are,
1. Transformer
2. Look UP
3. Join
4. Copy
5. Funnel
6. Remove duplicates
7. Slowly changing dimension
8. Modify
9. Sort
10. Surrogate key
27.3. Transformer Stage:
The symbol of Transformer Stage is
Navs notes Page 84
2010
DataStage
A simple query that we solving by using transformer i.e,
Q: calculate the salary and commission of an employee from EMP table.
Oracle Enterprise Transformer Data Set
Here, setting the connection here, source field and structure available
and load Meta data in to column mapping should be do.
Transformer Stage is “all in one
stage”.
Properties of Transformer Stage:
o For above question we must create a column to write description
In the down at output properties clicking in empty position.
That column we name as NETSAL
By double clicking on the NETSAL, we can write derivation here.
For example, IN.SAL + IN.COMM \\ we can write by write clicking
their
It visible in input column\function\ and so on.
After that when we execute the null values records it drops and remaining records it
sends to the target.
o For this we can functions in derivation
IN.SAL + NullToZero (IN.COMM)
o By this derivation we can null values records as target.
Navs notes Page 85
2010
DataStage
Q: NETSAL= SAL + COMM
Logic: if NETSAL > 2000 then TakeHome = NETSAL – 200 else TakeHome = NETSAL
+200; how to include this logic in derivation?
A: adding THome column in output properties.
In THome derivation part we include this logic
o If (IN.SAL + NullToZero (IN.COMM))> 2000
Then (IN.SAL + NullToZero (IN.COMM)) – 200
Else (IN.SAL + NullToZero (IN.COMM) ) + 200
o By this logic it takes more time in huge records, so the best way to over this
problem is Stage Variable.
Stage Variable: “it is a temporary variable which will holds the value until the process
completes and which doesn’t sent to the result to output”
Stage variable is shown in the tool bar of transformer properties.
After clicking that it visible in the input properties
In stage variable we must add a column for example, NS
Variables to adding column
1 NS 0 integer - 4 0
After adding NS column
To NS column including the derivation, IN.SAL + NullToZero (IN.COMM).
Adding these derivations to the input properties to created columns.
o NETSAL = NS
o THome = if (NS > 2000) then (NS -200) else (NS + 200).

Transformer Functions-I
Examples on Transformer Functions:
Navs notes Page 86
2010
DataStage
1. Left Function
2. Right Function
3. Substring Function
4. Concatenate Function
5. Field Function
6. Constraints Function (Filter)
For example, a word MINDQUEST, from that word we need only QUE.
Right Function using the above for question - R(L(7),3)
Left Function – L(R(5),3)
Substring – SST(5,3)
Filter: DataStage in 3 different ways
1. Source level
2. Stages (filter, switch, extended filter)
3. Constraints (transformer, lookup)
Constraints:
“In transformer constraints used as filter, means constraints is also called as filter”
Q: how a constraint used in Transformer?
A: in transformer properties, we will see a constraints row in output link. There we can write
the derivation by double clicking.
Differences between Basic transformer and parallel transformer:

JOB Parameters (Dynamic Binding)
Navs notes Page 94
2010
DataStage
Dynamic Binding:
“After compiling the job and passing the values during the runtime is known as
dynamic binding”.
Assuming one scenario that when we taking a oracle enterprise, we must provide the
table and load its meta data. Here table name must be static bind.
But there is no need for giving the authentication to oracle are to be static bind,
because of some security reasons. For this we can use job parameters that can provide
values at runtime to authenticate.
Job parameters:
“job parameters is a technique that passing values at the runtime, it is also called
dynamic binding”.
Job parameters are divided into two types, they are
o Local variables
o Global Variable
Local variables (params): “it is created by the DS Designer only, it can use with in the
job only”.
Global Variables : “it is also called as environment variables”, it is divided into two
types. They are,
o Existing: comes with in DataStage, in this two types one general and another
one parallel. Under parallel compiler, operator specific, reporting will
available.
o User Defining : it is created in the DataStage administrator only.
Q: How to give Runtime values using parameters for the following list?
a. To give runtime values for user ID, password, and remote server?
Navs notes Page 95
NOTE: “The local parameters that created one job they cannot be reused in other job, this is up to version7. But coming to version8 we can reuse them by technique called parameter set”. But in version7 we can also reuse parameters by User Define values by DataStage Administrator.

b. Department number (DNO) to keep as constraint and runtime to select list of any
number to display it?
c. Add BONUS to SAL + COMM at runtime?
d. Providing target file name at runtime?

Sort Stage (Processing Stage)
Q: What is sorting?
“Here sorting means higher than we know actually”.
Q: Why to sort the data?
“To provide sorted data to some sort stages like join/ aggregator/ merge/ remove
duplicates for the good performance”.
Two types of sorting:
1. Traditional sorting : “simple sort arranging the data in ascending order or descending
order”.
2. Complex sorting : “it is only for sort stages and to create group id, blocking unwanted
sorting, and group wise sorting”.
In DataStage we can perform sorting in three levels:
Source level: “it can only possible in data base”.
Link level: “it can use in traditional sort”.
Stage level: “it can use in traditional sorting as well as complex sorting”.
Q: What is best level to sort when we consider the performance?
“At Link level sort is the best we can perform”.
Source level sort:
o It can be done in only data base, like oracle enterprise and so on.
o How it will be done in Oracle Enterprise (OE)?
Navs notes Page 100
2010
DataStage
Go to OE properties
• Select user define SQL
o Query: select * from EMP order by DEPTNO.
Link level sort:
o Here sorting will be done in the link stage that is shown how in pictorial way.
o And it will use in traditional sorting only.
o Link sort is best sort in case of performance.

JOIN DS
Q: How to perform a Link Sort?
“Here as per above design, open the JOIN properties”.
And go to partitions
o Select partition technique (here default is ‘auto’)
Mark “perform sort”
• When we select unique (it removes duplicates)
• When we select stable (it displays the stable data)
Q: Get all unique records to target1 and remaining to another target2?
“For this we must create group id, it indicates the group identification”.
Navs notes Page 101
2010
DataStage
It is done in a stage called sort stage, in the properties of the sort stage and in the
options by keeping create key change column (CKCC) = “true”, default is false.
Here we must select to which column group id you want.
Sort Stage:
“It is a processing stage, that it can sort the data in traditional sort or in complex sort”.
Sort Stage
Complex sort means to create group id, blocking unwanted sorting, and group wise
sorting in some sort stage like join, merge, aggregate, and remove duplicates.
Traditional sort means sorting in ascending order or descending order.
Sort Properties:
Input properties
o Sorting key = EID (select the column from source table)
o Key mode = sort (sort/ don’t sort (previously sorted)/ don’t sort (previously
grouped))
o Options
Create cluster key change column = false (true/ false)
Create key change column = (true/ false)
• True = enables group id.
• False = disables the group id.
Output properties
o Mapping should be done here.

FILTER STAGE
Filter means “blocking the unwanted data”. In DataStage Filter stage can perform in three
level, they are
1. Source level
2. Stage level
3. Constraints
Source Level Filter : “it can be done in data base and as well as in file at source level”.
o Data Base: by write filter quires like “select * from EMP where DEPTNO =
10”.
o Source File: here we have option called filter there we can write filter
commands like “grep “moon”/ grep –I “moon”/ grep –w “moon” ”.
Stage Filter :
o “Stage filters use in three stages, and they are 1. Filter, 2. Switch and 3.
External filter”.
o Difference between if and switch:

IF SWITCH Poor performance.
IF can write ‘n’ number of column in condition.
It have ‘n’ number of cases.
Better performance than IF.
SWITCH can only one condition can perform.
It can only have 128 cases.

External Filter and Combining
External Filter: “It is processes stage, which can perform filter by UNIX commands”.
It having 1-input, 1-output, and 1-reject link.
To perform a text file, first it must read in single record in the input.
Example filter command: grep “newyork”.
Sequential File External Filter Data Set
External Filter properties:
o Filter command = grep “newyork”
o Grep –v “newyork” \\ other than new it filters.

o Horizontal combining
o Vertical combining
o Funneling combining
Horizontal combining: combining primary rows with secondary rows based on primary key.
o This stage that perform by JOIN, LOOKUP, and MERGE.

o Inputs requirements,
o Treatment of unmatched records, and
o Memory usage.

LOOKUP stage (Processer Stage)
Lookup stage:
In real time projects, 95% of horizontal combining is used by this stage.
“Look up stage is for cross verification of primary records with secondary records”.
DataStage version8 supports four types of LOOKUP, they are
o Normal LOOKUP
o Sparse LOOKUP
o Range LOOKUP
o Case less LOOKUP
For example in simple job with EMP and DEPT tables:
Primary table as EMP with column consisting of EID, ENAME, DNO
Reference table as DEPT with column consisting of DNO, DNAME, LOC

Drop : it is to Inner Join.
Fail : its aborts job, if a primary unmatched records are their.
Reject : it’s captured the primary unmatched records.
Case less LOOKUP: In execution by default it acts as a case sensitive.
But we have a option to remove the case sensitive i.e.,
o Key type = case less.
DAY 38
Sparse and Range LOOKUP
Sparse LOOKUP:
If the source is database, its supports only two inputs.
Normal lookup: “is cross verification of primary records with secondary at memory”.
Sparse lookup: “is cross verification of primary records with secondary at source level
itself”.
To set sparse lookup we must adjust key type as sparse in reference table only.
By default Normal LOOKUP is done in lookup stage.
Note: sparse lookup not support another reference when it is database.
But in ONE Case sparse LOOKUP stage can supports ‘n’ references. By taking lookup file set
Navs notes Page 119

DataStage
Job1: a sequential file extracting a text file to load into lookup file set (lfs).
Sequential file Lookup file set
Here in lookup file set properties:
o Column names should same as in sequential file.
o Target file stored in .lfs extension.
o Address of the target must save to use in another job.
Job2: in this job we are using lookup file set as sparse lookup.

o For multiple links we can write multiple conditions for ‘n’ references.
DAY 39
Funnel, Copy and Modify stages
Funnel Stage:
“It is a processing stage which performs combining of multiple sources to a target”.
To perform the funnel stage some conditions must to follow:
1. Columns should be same
2. Columns names also should be same
3. Columns names should be case sensitive
4. Data type should be same
Funnel stage it is process to append the records one table after the one, but above four
conditions has to be meet.
Navs notes Page 121
2010
DataStage
Simple example for funnel stage:
Funnel operation three modes:
Continues funnel : it’s random.
Sequence : collection of records is based on link order.
Sort funnel : it’s based on key column values.
Copy Stage:
“It is processing stage which can be used from”.
1. Copying source data to multiple targets.
2. Charge the column names.
3. Drop the columns.
4. Stub stage.
NOTE: best for change column names and drop columns.

DAY 40
JOIN Stage (processing stage)
Join stage it used in horizontal combining with respect to input requirements, treatment of
unmatched records, and memory usage.
Join stage input names are left table, right table, and intermediate tables.
Join stage having n – inputs (inner, LOJ, ROJ), 2 – inputs (FOJ), 1- output, no
reject.
Types of Join stage are inner, left outer join, right outer join, and full outer join.
Input requirements with respect to sorting: it is mandatory in primary and secondary
tables.
Navs notes Page 124
2010
DataStage
Input requirements with respect to de – duplication: nothing happens means it’s OK
when de – duplication.
Treatment of unmatched records: in primary table when the option Inner its simple
drops and when it is LOJ will keep all records in target. And in secondary table in
Inner option it’s drops and it ROJ will keep all records in target.
Memory usage: light memory in join stage.
Key column names should be SAME in this stage.
All types of inner join will supports.
A simple job for JOIN Stage:
JOIN properties:
Need a key column
o Inner JOIN, Left Outer JOIN comes in left table.
o Right Outer JOIN comes in right table.
o Full Outer JOIN comes both tables, in this no scope from third table that’s why
FOJ have two inputs.
In join stage when we sort with different key column names, that job can executes but
its effect on the performance (simply say WARNINGS will occurs)

We can change the column name by two types
Copy stage and with query statement.
Example of SQL query: select DEPTNO1 as DEPTNO, DN, and Loc from DEPT;
DAY 41
MERGE Stage (processing stage)
Merge stage is a processing stage it perform horizontal combining with respect to input
requirements, treatment of unmatched records, and memory usage.
Merge stage input names are master and updates.
N – inputs, 1 – output, and (n – 1) rejects for merge stage.
Join types of this stage are inner join, and left outer join.
Input requirements with respect to sorting is mandatory to sort before perform merge
stage.
Navs notes Page 126
2010
DataStage
Input requirements with respect to de – duplication in the primary table it will get
warnings when we don’t remove the duplicates in primary table. And in secondary
table nothing will happens its OK when we don’t remove the duplicates.
Treatment of unmatched records in primary table Drop (drops), Target (keep) the
unmatched records of the unmatched primary table records. And in secondary table
drops and reject it captures the unmatched secondary table records.
In the merge stage the memory usage is LIGHT memory.
The key column names must be the SAME.
In type of inner join it compares in ANY update tables.
NOTE:
Static information stores in the master table.
All changes information stores in the update tables.
Merge operates with only two options
o Keep (left outer join)
o Drop (inner Join)

SCD – IV or V
SCD – VI
Explanation:
SCD – I: “it only maintains current update, and no historical data were organized”.
As per SCD – I, it updates the before data with after data and no history present after the
execution.
SCD – II: “it maintains both current update data and historical data”. With some special
operation columns they are, surrogate key, active flag, effect start date, and effect end date;
In SCD – II, not having primary key that need system generated primary key, i.e.,
surrogate key. Here surrogate key acting as a primary key.
And when SCD – II performs we get a practical problem is to identify old and current
record. That we can solve by active flag: “Y” or “N”.
In SCD – II, new concepts are introduced here i.e., effect start date (ESDATE) and
effect end date (EEDATE).
Record version : it is concept that when the ESDATE and EEDATE where not able to
use is some conditions.
Unique key : the unique key is done by comparing.
SCD – III: SCD – I (+) SCD – II “maintain the history but no duplicates”.
Navs notes Page 133

DataStage
SCD – IV or V: SCD – II + record version
“When we not maintain date version then the record version useful”.
SCD – VI: SCD – I + unique identification.

Tail peek
In this job, a surrogate key stage used for generates the system key column values that
are like primary key values. But it generate at first compile only.
But by taking tail stage with that we tracing the last value and storing into the peek
stage that is in buffer.
With that buffer value we can generate the sequence values that are surrogate key in
version 7.5.x2.
In version 8.0:
“The above problem with version7 is over comes by version 8.0 surrogate key by

Reasons for warnings:
Default warnings in sequential file are
1. Field “<column name>” has import error and no default value; data : { e i d },
at offset: 0
2. Import warnings at record 0.
Navs notes Page 151
Finished 6 sys time 00:00:032 =9
Finished 6 sys time 00:00:032 =7
StatusNo. rows started at elaspsed time rows/sec %CPU
2010
DataStage
3. Import unsuccessful at record 0.
o These three warnings can solve by a simple option in sequential file, i.e.,
First line is column names= set as true.(here default option is false)
Missing record delimiter “\r\n”, saw EOF instead (format mismatch)
When we working on look-up, in the secondary stage have duplicates we with get
warning.
Where these is length miss match, like in source length (10) and target (20).
When sorting for different key column in join.
When second stage in merge.
Abort a job:
Q: How can we abort a job conditionally?
Conditionally
o When we Run a job
Their we can keep a constraint
• Like warnings
o No limit
o Abort job after:
In transformer stage
o Constraint
Otherwise/log
• Abort after rows: 5 (if 5 records not meet the constraint it’s
simple aborts the job)
We can keep constraint same like this only in Range Lookup.

Performance tuning w.r.t partition techniques & Stages
Partition techniques: “are two categories”
Key based:
1. Hash
2. Modulus
3. DB2
4. Range
Key less:
1. Same
2. Round Robin
3. Entire
4. Random
In key based partition technique:
DB2 is used when the target is database.
DB2 and Range techniques are used rarely.
Hash partition technique:
o It is selected when number of key columns will be there. i.e., key columns (>1)
and hetro data types (means different different data types)
o Other than this situation we can select “modulus partition technique”.
Modulus partition technique:
o It distributes the data based on mod values.
o And mod formula is MOD(value/ Number of nodes)
Navs notes Page 160
2010
DataStage
NOTE: Modulus is having high performance than Hash, because the way its groups the data
and based on the mod value.
NOTE: But modules can only be selected, if the only one key column and only one data type
that is only integer (data type).
In Key less partition technique:
Same: is never distributes the data, but is carry previous technique that continuous.
Entire: will distribute the same group of records to all nodes. That is the purpose of
avoiding the mismatch records in between the operation.
Round Robin: it is for generated stage like Column Generator and so on is associated
this partition technique.
o It is the best partition technique than comparing to random.
Random: all key less partition techniques stages are used this technique its default.
Performance tuning w.r.t Stages:
If when Sorting already perform then JOIN stage we can use.
Else LOOKUP stage is the best.
LOOKUP FILE SET: is options use to remove duplicates in lookup stage.
SORT stage: if complex sort : go to Stage sort
Else: go to link sort.
Remove Duplicates: the data already sort – Remove duplicates stage
• Sorting and remove duplicates – go to link sort (unique)
Constraints: when operation and constraints needed – go to Transformer stage
Navs notes Page 161
2010
DataStage
Else only constraints – simply go to FILTER stage.
Conversions: Modify stage and Transformer stage (it takes more compile time).
