The range map is only used when using range partitioning.

If you attempt to use range partitioning you must specify the pathname of the range map (which can be a relative pathname). If you specify a name that cannot be found by the executing user, this message will obtain.

As far as my extensive researches have been able to determine, the server Aggregator stage differs from the parallel Aggregator stage in one particularly fundamental way (and I think we're into the premium content by now) - the server Aggregator stage is used in server jobs and the parallel Aggregat...

This is not the same issue and really should be a different thread.

Meanwhile research APT_STRING_PADCHAR environment variable.

Again it's how it works.
