DataStage Parallel Engine Fixes | |
Fix ID | Description |
| Resource Tracker files are not being automatically deleted as specified by the environment variable CLEANUP_INTERVAL | |
| Parallel jobs running on two or more physical nodes fail if they contain a lookup stage with the execution mode set to sequential. | |

| No performance statistics display on the link after a modify stage in a parallel job. | |
| Parallel Engine surrogate key operator generates duplicate keys in multiple node configurations. | |
| Paralel Engine jobs with surrogate key operator running on multiple nodes sometimes SIGABRT . | |

| A warning is needed to alert the user that filter and readers-per-node options in Sequential File Stage may produce incorrect results when they are used together. | |
| Generated transform conversion names may not be unique when field names contain integer suffixes. | |
| Default_decimal_separator option is not recognized for certain locales when handling decimal fields by plugin stages. | |
| Complex flat file (CFF) operator performance improvements. | |
| Errors closing data sets not being reported properly. | |
| Some date/timestamp import parsing errors are not being put in the Director log. | |
| Transform function abs() fails when passed a decimal argument.of more than 16 bits | |
