IBM InfoSphere DataStage
Constraints window - parallel job transformers
Use the Constraints window to specify constraints that determine what data can be send down what output links in a parallel job transformer stage.
The window contains the following controls and fields:
- Stage name
- The name of the stage to which the output links belongs.
- Link Name
- This field lists the links that are output from the Transformer stage.
- Constraint
- Use this field to specify a constraint on an output link. Double-click in a constraint cell to open the expression editor.
- Otherwise/Log
- Select this option to specify that a link with no constraint handles otherwise rows (rows that satisfy none of the constraints). If you select this option for a link that has a constraint specified, then the number of rows written to that link is recorded in the log file.
- Abort After Rows
- Enter the number of rows that can be routed down this link before the job is aborted. If you specify no number, then there is no limit.
