Interview Questions

Standard interview tips and techniques still apply. Do not speak negatively about any supervisors, coworkers or former jobs. It is acceptable to share a specific situation that occurred with a former boss, but do not go into detail about the disagreement. Focus instead on what you did to help the supervisor see your point of view.

You may be asked a follow up question, such as “Did they ultimately see your point of view?” Be honest. Did they follow your advice or didn’t they? The answer is not as important as the presentation. Do not sound bitter in your response if they did not. “They did see my point of view. They chose a different path, but they understood my concerns and beliefs in the end.”

Datastage has two components

You can implement a condition by using either of the following ways:

     =>   By creating a rule condition - Specifies that you can implement conditions either directly in code or by using a tool, called the Rule Condition Editor. Rule conditions are stored in a separate Extensible Markup Language (XML) file. When a rule condition occurs in a workflow, the expression in a condition is evaluated and a Boolean value is returned.

     =>   By creating a code condition - Refers to defining a condition directly in code. A code condition can be created by writing a method in the code. The method contains code for the condition and returns a Boolean value.

SQL keyword ORDER BY is used to sort the result-set.

It is advisable to use container classes of the STL so that you don’t have to go through the pain of writing the entire code for handling collisions, making sure its working well, testing it repeatedly with an overhead of time consumption.

Suppose you have some data that has values associated with strings and its fields consist of grades> in this situation you can directly use hash table instead of having it created by yourself.

Key Fields - (PROCOPT=K)

- Used to sequence the database and can't be changed

- It is the field within a segment, used to identify the occurrence of the segment

- Used to maintain the IMS segments in ascending sequence.

Search Fields - (PROCOPT=G)

- Used to search for a segment, without the segment being sequenced on that field

- A segment need not have a key or search field.

Both types of fields can be used to search the database.
