Taking that argument to its logical conclusion, the system tables should be barred from everyone, including the DBA.

How about that for some words?!!

The DBAs can't do their job without access, neither can the Oracle Enterprise stage.

It's telling you something you ought already to know; every computer has limitations working with floating point decimal numbers. For example irrational numbers (like pi) have an infinite number of decimal places, but the computer can only store a finite number of these. But they're being pedantic a...

Send the keys of the records to be deleted from the job, and use user-defined SQL of the form DELETE FROM tablename WHERE key = :1 Data Direct ODBC drivers do expire after 30 days. But you can use other ODBC drivers (with different DSNs) from Windows-based servers. These - for example the Microsoft ...

Are you using CurrentDate() in an expression in the Transformer, or in the SQL itself? The latter does not work, because there's no such Oracle function.

Where, in the SOX legislation, does it say that you can't have SELECT privilege to SYS tables?!! It is IMPOSSIBLE to do damage with only SELECT privilege. It is also impossible to use the Oracle Enterprise stage without SELECT privilege to these tables, because it (the stage) needs to check the meta...

It IS quite well documented, in Chapter 53 (Row Generator stage) or Chapter 54 (Column Generator stage) in the Parallel Job Developer's Guide.

And you didn't follow what I said, which was "please advise". That way someone else, in future, will be able to solve this problem more quickly.

This sometimes occurs when a pathname is constructed as #param1#/#param2# and the value supplied for the first portion (a directory pathname) includes a trailing "/" character. Your parameter help text, and operator training material, ought to include an injunction against trailing "/" characters.
