If, by "primary contraints", you mean "primary key constraints", could I counsel in the strongest possible terms not to do that? Foreign key and check constraints, OK, but not primary key constraints. It's just too dangerous.

It has the same effect as WHERE (1 = 0) - it can never select anything.

The score shows precisely what will be executed. This is not necessarily the same as what was designed, though it will be functionally equivalent. The only purpose of APT_DUMP_SCORE is to have the score dumped into the job log. Without it, the score is only distributed to section leader processes. N...

Since this is a time- (date-) variant quantity, I'd recommend calculating the hours separately from the job and passing it as a job parameter value. Perhaps you could interrogate the TZ environment variable. Even better would be to have a daylight saving flag in a time dimension table, or in a relat...

Looks like you're using non-standard port numbers, possibly because you have multiple installations. Please determine the port numbers of:
(a) the Information Server listener

Plug these into your dsjob command as the -domain and -host arguments respectively.
