Dummy Data Generation using Row Generator in DataStage - 2

By default the Row Generator stage runs sequentially, generating data in a single partition. You can, however, configure it to run in parallel and meaningful data.

We are using the same job design as in Dummy Data Generation using Row Generator in DataStage - 1


a) Job Design :

b) RowGenerator Stage :

- Double click on Stage
- Fill the properties tab, Fill the No of Rows  you want to generate. ( Here I filled 50 )

- Now, clock on column tab and define the column you needed on o/p file, Need to define Column Name, type, length etc.

-- Now Here we took our Magic Step :-)  We will edit the Meta Data of Column

-- When you double click on Column 1 (Name), This Window will open, As you can see, we can edit a lot of metadata of a column here.

-- We want to generate some meaningful data, so we use the Generator properties here.
Here we selected Algorithm ( of data generation ) is Cycle which repeat the data from start to end. and we have passed some values ( Names ) 

-- Same we will follow for Second Coulmn ( Salary )

- And then Click OK, we are done with Column Generator Stage.

c) Seq File Stage

- Define the Seq File stage properties here, Like, O/p file location, delimiter, column name, quotes etc in o/p file.
- and Keep it all other tab as it is.

- Now Save the job design,Compile and RUN.

Output File will look like below -

 

Here, as we can see, Name is repeating in a Cycle again n again and Salary column also follow the same. So here we have some meaningful data for our dummy job test.
