Will I see an improvement if I change the array size to 100 and the transaction size to 10000. Probably. Change it and let us know. Also would this mean my reject will not be captured properly ?? If you were using Oracle, the answer would be an emphatic YES with any array size greater than one. You...

Good. :D

For the record, I didn't say to grep the bad file, merely checking for its existence is enough. I have been known to grep the actual 'log' file for specific errors as well as check the return code explicitly.

Yes, you can - but are you sure you need to? What does 'module' mean in your world? Can you not just create a new Project (or Projects) for this?

All it takes is a trailing space (for example) for one field to not equal another, something we can't tell from here. What is the dash supposed to represent? All it takes to 'update' a hashed file is to do exactly what you are doing - send the complete / replacement records in again. As long as you ...

How can you not know what variable to change? How can you expect us to know? :?

Just change the value associated with it in the Administrator... it is defined there, is it not?

Hmmm... I vaguely recall 'hard coding' the schemaLocation in the stage at design time once - in the Namespace Declaration tab. But that meant I stashed a copy of the xsd it validated against in the location I specified.

Pretty sure it worked...
