1. In a DataStage server environment with more than one version of DataStage installed in the dsjob command you must specify the server name and port number of the DataStage version that you want the ksh script to run on.
dsjob -domain NONE -user username -password password -server servername:portno -run script1
2. While doing column mapping in designer, always checks whether source/target column have same Null properties, if not, it should be handled explicitly.
3. Nulls are a curse when it comes to using functions/routines or normal equality type expressions.
E.g. NULL = NULL doesn’t work; neither does concatenation when one of the fields is null. Changing the nulls to 0 or “” before performing operations is recommended to avoid erroneous outcomes.
4. When using String functions on decimal always use Trim function to avoid as String functions interpret an extra Space used for sign in decimal.
5. When you need to get a substring (e.g. first 2 characters from the left) of a character field:
Use <Field Name>[1,2]
Similarly for a decimal field then:
Use Trim(<Field Name>)[1,2]
