You may need to adapt the IsValid() function (for server) because it is a little more forgiving of date format. Note also that Iconv() does not return NULL unless the date is actually NULL. You would do better to check the result of the Status() function after applying the Iconv() function. Did you ...

Aggregator stage for the aggregations. Transformer stage for the difference. (You can also do the aggregations in stage variables in a Transformer stage if the input data are sorted by the grouping column.)

Investigate use of the Compare or Difference stage types, and differently named columns on their inputs. By this means you can capture the "deleted" records. You can not do so with the Change Capture stage because, as you observe, it only outputs the "After" data set changes. Thi...

This is more easily done with a BASIC Transformer stage and server routine (or a server job would be even better for so few rows). Use that to populate a file, keyed by row number, which you can then look up in your parallel job. The routine would keep a dynamic array of values already generated, an...

Field #7 (if I remember correctly) contains the invocation ID. You can constrain your query/selection on this.

There is not a single "UTF-8" encoding. Unicode Transformation Format (8-bit) is implemented differently in different places. See Unicode Consortium website for more information. How was the source file created? Are you sure it wasn't one of the Korean-specific character maps? Have you tri...

Assignment of value is not possible with Modify stage. Any Modify stage function requires an input field reference.

You can use Column Generator stage to generate as many columns as you desire, not just one. You can also use Transformer stage.
