No, you have not expressed it correctly.

The file name that the routine was being given was set to "" - not the file name that the routine was coming up with. The routine does not generate a file name. Your language looks like an exercise in blame shifting.

As far as I am aware, hashed files are not cached when being used to feed a stream link such as the design described here. What occurs instead is a "fast group read" in which the hashed file is read one group (page) at a time and the records within that group are fed onto the stream. This approach s...

Check that your Oracle client software is at the same version as your Oracle server.

Post your results.

"Termination characters not at expected location" usually indicates either that there's a short line in your data (check line number 1921) or that there is a data field in which a line terminator appears. You can handle thes using the Columns grid - set the "contains terminator" and "missing columns...

The UNIX environment variable NLS_LANG can affect this. What is its setting? Have you asked your support provider about this - there may be strangeness(es) in the interface to Oracle 10g NLS.

Probably the easiest is to use diff and ignore the couple of properties (host name, timestamp) that you would expect to be different. In the next ("Hawk") release there is a side-by-side comparison tool where you can perform this task at a component level (job, routine, etc.) and generate a differen...
