Miscellaneous Stage

Staging area – Retains data from 7 days to 1m other.

Compress And Expand

Both are interdependent stages

Used for doing Data Backup

Compress Stage 

Compress the data using COMPESS   (or) GZIP Commands.

   

8 records are compressed to 1 record.

Expand Stage

Expand the Compressed data using UNCOMPRESS or GUNZIP.

   

Encode and Decode

Generic

It is a processing  Stage used to cell the operators on to the Data stage

The stage is an operator  prebuilt component

 

Functionality

IBM developed a tool called X – Migratory Converts Server jobs to parallel jobs  Conversion rate = 70%.

X – Migratory when it is migratory / converting Server jobs to parallel jobs it is going to substitute those stages which are not these in a parallel environment with the generic stage call the functionality of the stage with its operator.

pivot

Reverse pivot  converting columns to rows

Pivot converting rows to columns

Ex:-     input:-

11   A    HYD

22   B   SEC

33  C    DEL

Output

11		A	11		11	HYD
A		HYD	11		A	HYD
HYD		B	22		22	Sec
22		SEC	22		B	Sec
B	(or)	C	33	(or)	33	Del
Sec		Del	33		C	Del
33
