There are many posts here on how to generate a unique surrogate key in a transformer using the various @PART related system variables.

Right, but for dfkettle where a rerun solves the issue, that doesn't sound like it could be the case. So, being transient it does sound resource related. Don't know the answer to the file handle question, perhaps others do but the other thing that comes to mind is that AIX specific limit on the numb...

Don't have any code access right now, but if you are building the string for sendmail you can simply add a "Cc: " tag to the "From: ", "To: " (etc) you already have.
