APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • BIGINT data type is treated as Integer data type. When the value
    goes above 2,147,483,647, which is the maximum Integer value,
    it is parsed as a negative number or a different number. The
    same issue is also seen with ODBC Connector.
    

Local fix

  • Use Netezza connector on a Parallel job.
    

Problem summary

  • Connectors on server canvas are getting wrong data in reading
    various integer data types.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Analysis:
    
    In Server framework code, there was some problem in handling
    of various integer types when reading from integer columns. The
    connector treats these integer datatypes as string fields
    after schema reconciliation. But Server framework didn't take
    notice of this change.
    
    
    Resolution:
    
    The code in Server connector framework was fixed in handling
    integer data types correctly
    

Temporary fix
