Introduction

This document contains the Data Stage Best practises and recommendations which could be used to improve the quality of data stage jobs. This document would further be enhanced to include the specific Data Stage problems and there troubleshooting.

XMeta DB : Datastage Repository - 2

Prior to Datastage version 8, the datastage repository information was stored in files(uv). From version 8, the repository information is also stored in database. Since the information is available in database, it is easier to write queries and find the details. During the installation you will have the option to install the repository either in DB2 or in Oracle.

Usually, the datastage repository is built on DB2 database. because Db2 comes with the Information Server Software by defalt.

A word of caution: Do not try to alter the XMETA repository contents as it may have adverse effects.

The process manipulates data to bring it into compliance with business, domain, and integrity rules and with other data in the target environment. Transformation can take some of the following forms:

DataStage job status log values

They show what values can be used when designing job sequencers when defining triggers or nested conditions. Values are also helpful when using DataStage "dsjob" utility from the operating system command line.
