Your question is Datastage Partitioning and Sorting. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Tell me about how you handle partitioning and sorting in Datastage.
Explain how you select partitioning methods for joins, aggregations, and sequential outputs; how you configure sort keys and sort stages; and how you verify that data is correctly distributed and ordered. Address partition skew, preservation of sort order, resource usage, and the operational checks you apply before production.
