"Surrogate key" which is system generated unique numeric values.
uses:
---------
when implimenting the SCD2 $SCD3. because these scd's are needs to maintain the historical information. so there is no way to maintain the historical information with Primary key constraint,so we are gonna generate the Surrogate key for identifying the records need to take the insert or update action.

Surrogate key we can use for many purpose and so many cases but the above usage is one of these.

Answer / karan am
surrogate key is alternate to primary key, in order to maintain historical data.
The key source can be a state file or a database sequence. If you are using a database sequence, the sequence must be created by the Surrogate Key stage. You cannot use a sequence previously created outside of DataStage.

Which commands are used to import and export the datastage jobs?
create a job that splits the data in the Jobs.txt file into four output files. You will direct the data to the different output files using constraints. • Job name: JobLevels • Source file: Jobs.txt • Target file 1: LowLevelJobs.txt − min_lvl between 0 and 25 inclusive. − Same column types and headings as Jobs.txt. − Include column names in the first line of the output file. − Job description column should be preceded by the string “Job Title:” and embedded within square brackets. For example, if the job description is “Designer”, the derived value is: “Job Title: [Designer]”. • Target file 2: MidLevelJobs.txt − min_lvl between 26 and 100 inclusive. − Same format and derivations as Target file 1. • Target file 3: HighLevelJobs.txt − min_lvl between 101 and 500 inclusive. − Same format and derivations as Target file 1. • Rejects file: JobRejects.txt − min_lvl is out of range, i.e., below 0 or above 500. − This file has only two columns: job_id and reject_desc. − reject_desc is a variable-length text field, maximum length 100. It should contain a string of the form: “Level out of range: <min_lvl>”, where <min_lvl> is the value in the min_lvl field. My Question is how do you write the stage variable for reject rows.
