5 Tips For Better DataStage Design #6



#1. If you are using a copy or a filter stage either immediately after or immediately before a transformer stage, you are reducing the efficiency by using more stages because a transformer does the job of both copy stage as well as a filter stage

#2. Work done by "COPY Stage"
a) Columns order can be altered.
b) And columns can be dropped.
c) We can change the column names.



#3. When you need to run the same sequence of jobs again and again, better create a sequencer with all the jobs that you need to run. Running this sequencer will run all the jobs. You can provide the sequence as per your requirement.

#4. Sort the data as much as possible in DB and reduced the use of DS-Sort for better performance of jobs. Avoid the work done by DataStage which is possible in DB. But it doesn't mean you have to put all the complexity in SQL only, for that we are using datastage.

#5. Ensure that all the character fields are trimmed before any processing. Normally extra spaces in the data may lead to some errors like lookup mismatch which are hard to detect.
