Bulk copy temp files (Sybase IQ)

Hi,

We’re making our first step with bulk loading in DI 11.7.0 (windows) to a Sybase IQ 12.7 database.

After solving minor issues such as ftp configurations and file locations, we’ve realized that DI jobs create the bulk file in the \log\BulkLoader directory previous to send it via ftp to the IQ server.

The problem we are facing is that these files, usually large ones, remains in the \log\BulkLoader directory apparently when the bulk copy operation fails or generate some sort of errors.

(we’ve already checked the “Clean up bulk loader directory after load”)

So, the questions are:

  1. Is there a way to tell DI to generate these files in other directory?
  2. Does DI have a builtin cleanup for these files or is neccesary to create a custom task (such as deleting the directory programatically)?

Thanks in advance,

Andrés

Though this post is quite old and perhaps you have found an answer too, however to your 1st quetsion its Datastore property change it to whatever location to want and cleanup means from remote directory after ftp not from local folder/directory.

Hello
could you tell how did you resolve problem with ftp. I got error about msg file and I’ve done it follow techsupport https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3132303433343926 .
It started to create files on sybase but don’t want to create dat file :hb:
error I received : 2596 2056 DBS-070404 2009-05-19 09:18:36 SQL submitted to ODBC data source <SybaseIQbaza_etl> resulted in error <[Sybase][ODBC Driver][Sybase IQ]File does not exist.
2596 2056 DBS-070404 2009-05-19 09:18:36 File: E:\baza_etl\fba7ec47bcf417e836c71038e345ebee_0.dat

Of course error is much longer but I think that this the point (there are .row and .msg files but there is no dat file :hb: )
