No I didn't, so thanks for the extra info. It's interesting that there is a duplicate name in the USNAME.CLS file, which theoretically at least is read only in version 8. Hmm. Will need to check mine - being in Australia I don't get to use the USNAME rule set all that much. Bireswar, are you using a...

Sure, but you can help yourself faster by searching. Essentially what you need to do is as follows (in a job sequence). Determine the current maximum value (use a job). Load this somewhere convenient (a file, or the job's user status area). Retrieve that value. Use that value as a job parameter to p...

No.

You could look at the job sequence log in Director (or using API functions or dsjob command) - from memory a regular run request has "job run requested" while a reset has something different.

All you need to find is a third-party ODBC driver for MS Access. Then set up a DSN using this driver and point it at the .MDB file in question.

No, that's when the job most recently started. You get the creation date from the DS_AUDIT table.

If the inputs are identically hash partitioned and sorted, then it will work. Therefore I must assume that there was some difference between the inputs in your case in how the partition and/or sort keys were specified.

Look in your classification table (the .CLS file for the rule set). It appears that there is at least one duplicate entry therein. The file should be sorted. Why not process it with a DataStage job to identify the duplicate(s)?
