That's odd, because there's a "started" message in the sequence log and there are more than three minutes between that and the warning event. Could anyone perhaps have tried to recompile the job in this time? Can you please post detail of the "job run requested" event for this in...

I like to use sequence and job parameters (or Parameter Sets in version 8 are even better). The sequence can pick up parameter values from pretty much anywhere, with a variety of techniques. One I like a lot is when the values are in a database table to run a server job to retrieve them and place th...

The DataStage API functions remain viable in version 8.1; you can download ETLstats and adapt its techniques. If you have it and you are generating operational metadata, then you can use Metadata Workbench to perform these analyses. HOWEVER, to have this work generically, you need a consistent namin...

The BASIC Transformer stage in a parallel job is not the same stage type as the Transformer stage in a server job. Your main problem is that you assumed that it is. In parallel jobs the database stages themselves support reject links, and it is there that sqlcode (only, as far as I am aware) is capt...

Use stage tracing (from the Tracing tab of the Job Run Options dialog) to capture statistics about the Transformer stage(s).
