I have created a 'clone' of a Job (JOBA). The clone job is JOBB.
The scenario is this:
JOBA will load data (1000 records) to an empty partitioned table TABLEA and then will do a COPY TABLESPACE XXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXX DSNUM 1 FULL YES into DATASETA
After running JOBA, I will delete all records from the same table and will run JOBB. JOBB will also load the same records loaded by JOBA at the same table and then will also do a COPY TABLESPACE XXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXX DSNUM 1 FULL YES into DATASETB
Im expecting that the UNLOADED files (result of the COPY TABLESPACE of JOBA and JOBB) will be exactly the same when compared but upon comparing, there are a lot of differences. Any idea why the output of the unloads are not the same eventhough both jobs are loading the same records in an empty table?
Thanks! |

Hello There,
You have not mention any thing about Unload step in your jobs . You mentioned that u are running load followed by copy tablespace first partition.You have not mention what query you are using for delete and
secondly is it Load resume or replace ? Did you check the table is empty before running teh first job? Is its multi table tablespace? Please provide load card as well copy stmt of both the jobs.Will surely be able to help you once we will get answer for above queries |

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry for the confusion, i used the term 'unload' for 'COPY TABLESPACE'. The load is LOAD RESUME. Before running JOBA and JOBB, i will delete the records from spufi (DELETE * FROM TABLEA) to make sure that I'm using an empty table.
Additional details below:
STEP1
LOAD STEP SYSIN
//SYSIN DD *
LOAD DATA LOG NO INTO TABLE TABLEA PART 1 KEEPDICTIONARY RESUME YES
(table definition...)
/*
STEP2
COPY TABLESPACE STEP SYSIN
//SYSIN DD *
COPY TABLESPACE XXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXX DSNUM 1 FULL YES
/* |

Hello There,
I am assuming that before running JOBB you are again deleting the records from the table and no other job is running before your load which
updating the table like insert. And one more Question how you are comparing Imagecopy dataset? |

Yes. Before running JOBA, JOBB i will delete all records to make sure that the table is empty, I'm also positive that no other Job/s is using the table.
I'm comparing the imagecopy using SuperCE Utility. |

what exactly are the differences presented by the SuperCE Utility output?
and I would not compare image copy files.
for some reason,
I think they contain more data than just the table's column values -
but somebody else will have to make that call, as I don't feel like trying to find out the image-copy record format.
why not just unload to a ps and compare those, which I know only contain column values? |

| The differences looks like garbage, it is unreadable. Basically JOBA will be replaced by JOBB that is why i need to compare the imagecopy to make sure everything is still the same |

Thanks, It is also my understanding that COPY TABLESPACE will contain extra data and not only column values.
Maybe i will try to unload to PS and see if the unloaded data will match. |

apparently JOBB is not really a clone of JOBA.
there are some differences.
as far as comparing the imagecopy - that is a waste of time.
the results of restoring the imagecopy is what is important,
and that is what you should be comparing.
again,
unload the the results of JOBA and JOBB using something other than imagecopy and compare that. |

sprikitik,
Does your table have Identity columns or default timestamp columns, those attributes might also cause the confusion.
Thanks,
Sushanth |

| Hi All, I followed the suggestion of dbzTHEdinosauer and unloaded the data into ps and all the records matched. Can anyone please provide an explanation why the compare of image does not match? |

Hello,
Possibly because of what Sushanth mentioned. . .
It might also be:
| Quote: |
OBID
Specifies that the object identifier (OBID) for the table (a two byte
binary data) is placed in the first two bytes of the output records
unloaded from the table. |
Suggest you look at the first records in the files that don't match in hex to see exactly what is different. |

Run DSN1PRNT utility with FORMAT and NODATA option on both the IC's and compare the output, you will know, what doesn't match.
Thank You,
Sushanth |
