Compress stage: Stage tab (DataStage)

Compress stage: Stage tab (DataStage)

The Compress Stage tab enables you to control aspects of the Compress stage.

The Stage tab allows you to specify an optional description of the stage. The Properties section lets you specify what the stage does. The Advanced section allows you to specify how the stage executes.

Properties

The stage only has a single property which determines whether the stage uses compress or GZIP.

Options

Command
Specifies whether the stage will use compress (the default) or GZIP.

Advanced

This section allows you to specify the following:

  • Execution Mode. The stage can execute in parallel mode or sequential mode. In parallel mode the input data is processed by the available nodes as specified in the Configuration file, and by any node constraints specified on the Advanced section. In Sequential mode the entire data set is processed by the conductor node.
  • Combinability mode. This is Auto by default, which allows IBM® DataStage® to combine the operators that underlie parallel stages so that they run in the same process if it is sensible for this type of stage.
  • Preserve partitioning. This is Set by default. You can explicitly select Set or Clear. Select Set to request the next stage should attempt to maintain the partitioning.
