Is this still true, one project only?

It's been discussed here quite a bit. For the 'filename' portion, one approach is to pass the date in as a Job Parameter so that it can be leveraged in the output stage. Adding in the complication of the record count means you either need to pre-count the data for the file and pass that in as well o...

So let it be written, so let it be done. Welcome to the PX forum. Let us know if that was a bad choice.

You're certain nothing has changed? Sure seems like something must have. What about UNIX patches, changes to your SMTP software or anything of that ilk? Have you had a chat with your Admin?

People, if you are voting No (and I see we have some already) and the ones you can't access are not locked or member only forums that you aren't a member of, can you please include a comment as to the specific forums you are having an issue with?

How are you controlling the partitioning? Do an exact search here for "deadlock" to find many conversations on this subject.

It's been "reverted"... do you have any specific questions?

This minimizes the amount of memory that the Aggregator uses, basically allowing you to go back to one job and process any number of records.
