Please delete the other two copies of this post (one is in the parallel forum). 1. Yes, if the need is there.

Message headers, presumably. What does the application that is writing to the queue do to identify whole file versus part file message?

Problem 1 - move the OPENSEQ statement outside of the loop. Problem 2 - The isolated 1 is being treated as a format specifier. Lose it.

You should get one process with your netstat query. This is the dsrpcd process - it should be there, with a state of LISTENING. You can shut down gracefully if this is the only process on port 31538.

Does it simply not get focus? Minimize all other windows (including Designer) to see whether this is the case.

Welome aboard. Set the job sequence job properties option that generates a warning when an activity fails to finish with status of Success. This will propagate warnings upwards.

That is so wrong. Status 1 means OK, status 2 means that there was at least one warning/alert message logged. But we're straying off topic.
