If one of you is a Suite Administrator that should suffice.

Tip: create a second, backup Suite Administrator "just in case" with the (non expiring) password for that user sealed in an envelope in a locked safe.

Why me? And why when I have not yet responded to this post?

As you note, DataStage expects the column names to be the same for this particular check (same thing - same name). It seems to me that that's a reasonable requirement.

Whatever you want to do in terms of restarting from a point of failure you must design. And that involves keeping track of, or discovering subsequently, which rows were successfully committed to the database.

Reduce the total load and in particular don't do anything that needs to wait for an unexpected amount of time. Had you searched for SPINTRIES you would have found more useful tuning information.
