The fact that it's -APT_SectionLeaderFlag suggests there's a problem starting/communicating with processes on other nodes, possibly during startup. Enable the reporting environment variable that shows startup to investigate further. I can't see any evidence (yet) that it's memory related. APT_DISABL...

Create stage variables derived using Field() function to extract the two fields.

Create a new output field derived as

Code: Select all

If svField1 <= svField2 Then InLink.TheValue Else svField2 : "~" : svField1
Use that new field (sorted) as the key on which to remove duplicates.

What evidence do you have that Oracle is involved?

Funnily enough, not everyone in the world uses Oracle.

Do a (range?) lookup against a time dimension table, with multiple row return, constrained on weekday name not being 'Sunday' or 'Saturday' to get a list of dates.

Either you have not fully/properly configured UniODBC or you have not converted the Unidata account for ODBC access. The latter is the more likely.
