Setting up a survive job

A Survive job requires that you link a single input stage and a single output stage to the Survive stage.

1. Create a new parallel job or open an existing parallel job.
2. If the Palette is not displayed, click View > Palette to display it.
3. Click Data Quality and locate the Survive stage.
4. Drag the Survive stage icon onto the canvas and drop it in the middle of the canvas.
5. In the Palette, perform the following steps:
   1. Select the appropriate icon that represents the input and drop the icon to the left of the Survive stage on the Designer canvas. The input can be any object that supports output links.

      The object becomes the source data file. Your source data comes from a file or database, but you can also use other stages to preprocess it before inputting it to the Standardize stage.

   2. Drop it to the left of the Survive stage icon.
   3. Drag a second appropriate stage on the Designer canvas and drop it to the right of the Survive stage icon.

      This file becomes the output or target file.

   4. Click General and drag the Link to add a link between the Survive stage and the left Sequential file. To add links, you can also right-click the Sequential file and drag the mouse to the Survive stage.
   5. Drag another link from the Survive stage and the right Sequential file.
6. Rename the stages and links.
