Does "the same issue" mean that you changed the metadata and now DataStage can not insert a Sort Merge collector because there is no sort key defined?

That's not the point, really. What other action should you properly take BEFORE re-running the job? What if some rows, but not all, had been committed to the target database? Do you want to pick up where you left off (in which case your job design must keep a record of how far it got) or do you want...
