I don't have any way to test this, but going on the way things used to work and assuming they still work the same - all you should need to specify is the job's name since that must be unique per project. I can't imagine you're also required to mention where it lives.

I don't recall any talk of them just showing up in a new / later release, but others might be more in tuned with news of th...

if extract_1 failed i do see aborted state and i have to manual reset it No, you should not have to do that as long as you have the Job Activity stage set to "Reset if required, then run" as you've noted That's the whole point of that option, to avoid the need for a manual reset. That &qu...

Not sure what you are asking. That "Reset if required, then run" option in the Job Activity stage should mean there is no reason to need to "manually" reset them after they abort. Can you be more specific about your issue? :?

Why over-complicate it? As noted, you can "match" the first four characters of the string like so:

Code: Select all

YourField[1,4] = "A.12"

For that you could just check the first 4 characters using the substring [] operator. For a check inside the string, investigate the Index() function.

They've already posted the issue and the fact that it was resolved, so unsure why you are bringing scale into the picture, it doesn't really seem relevant here.

Welcome. :D The DateFromJulianDay function isn't working for you because what you have is not a Julian date. What you have is an Ordinal date which combines a four digit year with the ordinal day number in that year for the m/d portion. You've been given the proper way to handle them by our friend j...
