Hi,
I am copying data from Oracle to Informix. There are no special transforms, just copying columns "as is".
About half way down a 2M row table I get the following message. Is there any way for me to know
what are the column values of the offending row?
Thanks,
Lauri Pietarinen

Take a look at the code of the job in line 4595 and get an idea which column causes the problem. I guess it is a textual column. In the case you should check in which charset you have values in your Oracle db and what charsets the Informix database allows. I guess it has to do with some UTF-8 violations. I suggest you deactive die on error and extend the output component with a reject flow. This way you will get all datasets which could not be processed in your target database and you can plan your next steps.
Thanks jlolling,
I managed to trace down the illegal character, it was '?', the Euro-sign!
What would be the best way to convert '?' to something else, like '#'?
Probably a simple question, but I am on my second day using Talend...
