RCP involves propagation (from input to output), nothing else. If you want to validate, you need to name columns. Maybe you can use generic column names. But generically validating is tricky. You need a rules engine of some kind, and a dispatch mechanism so that the correct rules are applied to each...

Yes, my guess would be either named pipes or lock files.

DSWaitForJob() can wait for multiple jobs.

Review the job control code generated by a sequence job to see how (essentially a dynamic array of job handles).

There are different kinds of records in RT_STATUSnn, each with their own structure. For example there is a record for the job itself, but there are also records for active stages and other processes. This information is used, inter alia, for the status shown in Director client's Monitor view. So you...

My guess would be that job DSW_Import_Extract has been edited and not re-compiled. Status 99 can mean "Not compiled".

How long is a piece of string? How long is a "long time"? For example, a complex patch that has to update all four co-resident tiers will take minutes, maybe an hour or more, to complete. If the process has not ended or thrown any error, then you need to be patient. You appeared to have fo...

Topic: XML stage with Turkish Special character reading issue

Views: 2714
