Write out the logic in English, and the stage variable initialization and derivation expressions will magically appear in your brain.

Moderator: please move to Server forum

The access denied is probably in the XMETA database. Can you check whether there are any entries in the XMETA.XMETALOCKINFO table?

Yes it can be locked even though it's not open, but that won't achieve anything other than preventing others from opening it, which making it read-only would also achieve.

Don't call DSGetLinkInfo() for every row - it's too great an overhead.

Get the count after the job has finished, for example in an after-job subroutine, in a Routine activity, or using Kim's ETLstats package.
