The BASIC Transformer stage is a processing stage. It appears under the processing category in the tool palette in the Transformer shortcut container.

The BASIC Transformer stage is similar in appearance and function to the Transformer stage described in Transformer stage. It gives access to BASIC transforms and functions (BASIC is the language supported by the server engine and available in server jobs). For a description of the BASIC functions available see InfoSphere DataStage Server Job Developer Guide.

You can only use BASIC transformer stages on SMP systems (not on MPP or cluster systems).

Note: If you encounter a problem when running a job containing a BASIC transformer, you could try increasing the value of the DSIPC_OPEN_TIMEOUT environment variable in the Parallel ► Operator specific category of the environment variable dialog box in the DataStage® Administrator (see InfoSphere DataStage Administrator Client Guide).

BASIC Transformer stages can have a single input and any number of outputs.
