BASIC Transformer stage?

Sorry, should have been clearer. Substring from the expression editor's operator menu. It's represented in the expression using square brackets.

Look a bit more closely at the right(left(svr,2),2) part of your expression. Consider using the Substring function for the middle component.

Not direct, but you can use DSExecute. Either go to the operating system and echo the value of the environment variable, or go to UV and use the ENV command. I prefer the former, though you need to make it platform specific, for example echo %TMPDIR% for Windows but echo $TMPDIR for UNIX.

Suggestion to all employers of consultants: make sure (a condition of hire?) that anything the consultant leaves is tagged with the consultant's contact details, and some kind of warranty as to fitness for purpose (plus, maybe, some form of support undertaking).

It could be a problem with indexing in the Repository; the clients use the indexes (particularly the CATEGORY index) to retrieve components for display. At some time when there are no components open for editing in the project, use either the Administrator client Command window or a telnet session i...

2) You may already have developed the functionality and prefer to reuse the component.
3) Reusability of logic across multiple jobs.
4) Depends.

At the end of Chapter 2 in Parallel Job Developer's Guide there is a discussion on the restrictions on using server job shared containers in parallel jobs. Read that, and see whether you've violated any of them.

(OK, I'll bite.)

Documentation should be the first step. One should always leave any IT work in a state that anyone competent can take over without having to waste time researching what the hell it does (or is intended to do).

It's usually the Data folder in your Project that these files are written.

I would have to check whether the Rules Analyzer uses this folder, however, and my current site isn't using QS. Anyone else?

Mere mortals should not be permitted to view the infinite.

The View Data button should be disabled if the sequential file name is /dev/null (UNIX) or ...\NUL (Windows).

Call it idiot-proofing.

Chances are that /data/files/customers/custFile has become too large for the sort command to manage given your allocation of memory. What are your ulimit values? (Use the command ulimit -a to find out.)
