Depends on your terminology, I guess. The routine to check and abort the job would still be part of the Server job, a part that runs 'after job' i.e. after everything on the canvas finishes. No 'batch' job or separate process needed, but yes some 'code' will be involved.

Not empty but sometimes people put their only message in the subject line of their reply and you can only see it when you reply. And people still seem to think the only way to reply in a thread is to quote another one in its entirety... sheesh. :?

Fixed both.

Some types are required and thus can't be left empty, the others need to be explicitly checked triggering a Terminator if needed. If there are many, a routine would be best, I would think.

You can't answer questions about logging in a sentence or two. Best to google around, grab some of the Oracle documentation and/or chat with your DBA. Advice can change depending on the Oracle version as well.One example from a quick google.

Zero records = nothing for the transformer to check. Do it 'after job' with a custom routine that uses DSGetLinkInfo to see how many rows were processed.
