Parallel jobs automatically use their own internal format for dates (indeed for most other data types too). See chapter 2 of Parallel Job Developer's Guide for details. The parallel job internal format is not the same as the server job internal format, but why would you need the latter in a parallel...

I must presume that your selection was of the form Select #Parameter# From #Parameter# A, #Parameter# B Where A.column=B.column rather than what you provided. You can use the data from the Data Set, materialized via the Modify stage, to delete, provided that the column is identified as Key in DataSt...

You could have used an activity variable from the Job activity, and avoided the overhead of creating and invoking an operating system process. Just a thought.

You can only have one. Build that Message Handler to handle all of the message IDs that you need to handle.

Since there's no more recent patch than R2, the answer to your patch question is currently "no". Version 11.3 is being more rigorous at detecting various things (such as duplicates in the reference data set) than version 8.5. You have been relying upon a deficiency in the older version. Yo...

There is, though it might be a bit convoluted depending on the VOC entries. You say that the physical D_hashedfilename files have gone (presumably deleted by someone at the operating system level), but that the VOC entry continues to have the (path)name of D_hashedfilename. If that summary is correc...

It really depends on what you want to do. In general, though, it's best to stop all processes, otherwise the Deployment Manager will continue to accept requests from Information Server processes, and then throw errors if the associated service can't be found on any node.

Yes. The separate node agents and the Domain Manager are separate processes.

Insert a Remove Duplicates stage in the Reference input link to the Lookup stage.

Try clearing in the immediately upstream stage.

Review which hashed files are account-based and which are pathed. To be able to access a file dictionary there must be a VOC entry in which the data file pathname is in field #2 and the dictionary file pathname is in field #3. A dictionary is necessary to perform filtering in the hashed file stage. ...

Re your second question: Probably your job log auto purge is set to a too small value. If you want to keep 30 instances worth of logs, then it needs to be at least 30, or time-based.

Welcome aboart. The query verifies that the table METASTAGE_LOC_INFO, which contains locality information used when updating information in the common metadata repository, exists. A fatal error will be thrown if this table is found not to exist. That it doesn't work in the non-production environment...

Why don't you (Ernie) propose "Mysteries of the new XML Stage... Revealed!!" as a paper for Insight 2015?

Do you get the same timeouts when using another client, such as SOAPUI? Sometimes it's just that the web service itself is slow to respond (for whatever reason). You can test the turnaround time with various tools.
