Forget anything like notepad, what does a UNIX hex editor show? Or a dump like "od -h" or whatever will give you a hex dump on your O/S.

You need to determine the hex value of these characters. Be it "nulls" or otherwise, they will have a value and only by knowing what it is can you deal with it properly.

Exactly. People should realize that - more than likely - they're not the first person on the planet to see their error and - more than likely - it's already been asked and answered here. Hence the search functionality. Only issue to be aware of here is that only the "exact" search really &...

First off, stick to posting questions in your thread, there's no need to send private emails as well.

There is no name concern here. As noted, the parameter markers are positional here so the first ? is automagically matched to the value in the first column, the second to the second, etc.

I don't know about Ray but I was hoping for a wee bit more detail than that.

Come on now... help us help you fix it. Give us some details as to what the heck your job is doing, stages used, etc.

Please advise ASAP, this is Urgent and Critical Case, and we may need to raise an urgent PMR if required. Client is really disappointed of this whole 8.5 version. Then it would seem the "urgent PMR" is in order and I would advise you to make sure the message in the last sentence is commun...

It looks like you've fallen into one of the classic traps we see here: when people come with a perceived solution to something in their mind and ask us how to implement that something rather than coming here with their actual problem and then asking if their solution is appropriate. You'd be amazed ...

Your understanding is incorrect. You can use ExecSH to run anything valid to be executed from the shell, hence the name. It really doesn't know or care if that is a script or a string of native operating system functions. Use the O/S functions if that's all you need, cobble together a script if you ...

So 10 minutes or 10 hours? And what exactly are you doing in the shared container with those 11 transformers and 6 Oracle stages?

Advise you search. Others have ask this same question before.

An exact search for "Failed to initialize job monitoring" returned 20 matches. Of course, one of those is yours.

U mean to say, there is no benefit in using array size option? U didn't say any such thing, nor did Ray. Keep in mind the fact that "U" is one of our posters. As noted, it strictly controls how many rows are sent across the network 'in an array', nothing more and nothing less. There are t...

Why are you sending a space to a numeric field? There lies the root of your problem.

AFAIK, it should be: EXECUTE PROC_NAME(?,?) And the question marks would match up to your first and second columns in the tab - assuming you are passing in parameter values from the link. If they are 'hard-coded' just put the values in the call and whatever columns you'd like in the stage as they wi...

Franklin has his own thread now, let's not muck this one up with his stuff.
