It is not possible.

You can create a Batch in Director, which is automatically compiled, but that it the only thing that can be compiled from Director. And you're not in charge of that - it's triggered by the Save of the Batch.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with hashed files, indeed it's a problem on the client. Please begin a new thread.

A more precise solution is to allow the right input columns and any output columns derived from them to be Nullable, and check explicitly for NULL.

Do you have an ODBC driver for Excel on your DataStage server? If so, use that to read the worksheet and you can save the rows however you wish.

You would have had to create two ODBC stages even without the local container, because passive stages can not open their outputs until their inputs are closed - with one stage only your design would have a deadly embrace situation.
