The only way you're going to know if a 'missing' file shows up out of sequence is to track the filenames that you have processed. Any kind of 'day - x' sweeping is going to be prone to error.

Interesting. In this thread people claim there is no such option. :?

Do you have an xsd for this? Import the metadata via the Manager and it will create the XPath expressions for you that you need to create it.

The gist of it is in Rasi's post. Basically, you are on the receiving end of every insert, update and delete from the source system. You can then use that information to drive the work you need to do in your target. Problem is, you can't 100 percent rely on what 'action' you get from CDC. In some si...

Without something upstream feeding deltas to you - like the CDC process built into Oracle or other third party utilities that provide similar functionality - then you'll have to do all the work of Change Data Detection in your jobs on your own. And yes, this involves preloaded hashed files of curren...

You can use the Update action of 'Truncate table then insert' to create a job that just does the truncate for you. It can then be included in your jobstream (via a Sequencer job, for instance) just before your bulk load job. Unfortunately, a failed load will not be restartable without going back and...
