When you finish designing a job, compile and run it. Then
use the log file to gather information that might help you adjust
the job configuration or correct error conditions.
About this task
After you compile a job, you can use either the
IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® and QualityStage® Director or
IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer to run the job.
Procedure
- In the Designer client, open the job that you want to compile.
- Click Compile.
- If the Compilation Status area displays errors, edit the
job to resolve the errors. After resolving the errors, click Compile again.
- When the job compiles successfully, click Run, and specify the job run options:
- Enter the job parameters, as required.
- Click the Validate button to
check the job configuration without actually reading or writing any
data.
- Click the Run button to read,
write, or look up data.
- View the status of the job:
- Open the Director client.
- In the Status column, verify that the job was validated
and completed successfully. If the job or the validation failed, choose to view messages that describe runtime problems.
- If the job has runtime problems, fix the problems, recompile,
validate, and run the job until it completes successfully.
