Not a big fan of using routines like that directly in triggers, prefer the Routine Activity stage.

That routine requires a job handle, not a job name, hence the need for a wrapper routine to establish it, get the link count, detach from the job and then pass back the result.

The post you quoted from rameshrr3 (which I removed from your post, please learn to just Reply) doesn't have anything to do with transformer looping. Not only does their solution not require any looping, it would be dead easy to implement.

Many did but not all. Have you tried setting APT_DUMP_SCORE to true and see if that information helps at all?

Have to? No. You just need to understand full v. relative paths and work with how your PATH environment variable is set up.

The answer changes based on 32bit v. 64bit architecture. The former has a 2GB limit while the latter does not.
