Module 1: Opening and running the sample job
The tutorial includes a sample job that you explore to better understand basic concepts about jobs. You open the sample job, explore the stages that comprise the job, and then compile and run the job.
The
sample job consists of two stages: a Sequential File stage and a Data
Set stage. The Sequential File stage extracts data from a comma-separated
values file and writes the data to the Data Set stage. The data that
is written to the Data Set stage is used by later modules in the tutorial.
Learning objectives
After you complete the lessons in this module, you understand how to complete the following tasks:- Start the InfoSphere® DataStage® and QualityStage® Designer (the Designer client) and attach a project
- Open an existing job
- Compile a job so that it is ready to run
- Open the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Director (the Director client) and run a job
- View the results of the job
Note: For the remainder of the tutorial, the short name is used
when referring to the InfoSphere
DataStage components
that you interact with. For example, the InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer is
referred to as the Designer client.
