Figure out exactly what you want to do, and create the shell script. Use exit commands within the shell script to control the exit status value; for example exit 1 causes the exit status to be set to 1. ExecSH is a "canned" before/after subroutine.

Can we save the metadata definitiona at a later stage and use this method? Yes, using Save from a job design also establishes a linkage that Usage Analysis and other analyses can use.

Your problem is that your data do not conform to your metadata. One (at least) of your rows contains a value in the VarChar field that is too large to fit into the Char field. Use a substring function to effect the appropriate truncation. Or delcare the Char field large enough. I presume from the fu...

So cannot use the same to track the job.

This is the correct conclusion.

You're a kind-hearted soul, Roy, obviously with little exposure to sales staff in the IT industry. Read Dilbert more often.

IBM. All courseware will be issued in 8.0. As to transition training, I don't know - maybe someone could ask IBM? Ask whether your support provider intends to provide transition/installation training/mentoring as well as support. You might also ask how THEY plan to get trained.
