1. What does Abinitio mean by de-partition?
De-partitioning is used to re-join data records from several flows and is done to read data from many flows or processes. Gather, Merge, Interleave, and Concatenation are some of the accessible de-partitioning components.
2. Describe a "sandbox" in detail.
A group of graphs and related files that are saved in a single directory tree and function as a unit for navigation, version control, and migration are referred to as sandboxes.
3.What do you mean by overflow errors, exactly?
Bulky calculations are frequently performed while processing data, and it's not necessarily required for them to fit in the memory designated for them. These issues happen when a character with more than 8 bits is stored there.
4.How does data encoding work?
In many situations, it is necessary to maintain the confidentiality of data, and using this method can help. It only ensures that information is kept in a format that only the sender and the recipient can comprehend.
5. Why aggregate data when rollup is available? As is well known, Abinitio's rollup component is used to summarise a collection of data records. Where will we then apply aggregation?
Both aggregate and rollup can summarise the data, but rollup is far more user-friendly. A specific summary's roll-up process can be understood far better than an aggregate. Rollup is also capable of filtering records at both the input and output. Rollup and aggregate operate.
6. What does Ab Initio's dependency analysis mean?
Dependency analysis will provide the answers to the queries about data lineage. In other words, where does the data originate? What programmes generate and rely on this data?
From the already-existing data, we may extract the maximum (surrogate key), and then, by utilising the scan or next in sequence/reformat, we can create a new sequence for new records.
7. Specify the factors you would check to make sure that several planned batch jobs do not conflict with one another.
since each task is dependent upon the others. For instance, if the outcome of your first job is successful, another job will be run; otherwise, your task is unsuccessful.
