Adding the ISD Output stage

You configure the ISD Output stage while building a job in IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® and QualityStage® Designer.

About this task

A job can have one ISD Output stage or no ISD Output stages. If an ISD Input stage is present, then an ISD Output stage is required.

If an ISD Output stage follows a shared container in a parallel job, the ISD Output stage must use all of the columns that are supplied by the container. If you want to use a subset of the columns that are supplied by the shared container, add a Copy stage between the container and the ISD Output stage.

Procedure

From the Real Time group in the Palette pane, drag the ISD Output stage icon onto the canvas.
Connect the ISD Output stage icon to the stage that supplies the outgoing data.
Double-click the ISD Output stage icon to display properties for the stage.
Click the Stage tab.
Click the Properties tab.
Note: You cannot use job parameters for buffer size and timeout for the ISD Input stage or the ISD Output stage. Enter fixed values for these job properties when you create a service in IBM InfoSphere Information Services Director.IBM InfoSphere Information Server and the InfoSphere Information Services Director agent must access these values before you start the job.
Type a value for Buffer Size.
Type a value for Timeout. The default value of 30 seconds is adequate for most environments.
Click the Inputs tab.
Click the Columns tab.
