Do some investigation. Create a throw-away job to read the source data and report the actual length of this field (using the Len() function). Just out of curiosity, also report the number of bytes (using the ByteLen() function). Send the result into a delimited text file. Process a few rows, in part...

cut instead of awk may be marginally more efficient.

So it's basically a list of job parameter values. How is each to be reconciled to a particular job parameter? Do you have any in-house standards for parameter names in jobs, following the "one thing, one name" principle? Now is a good time to start. Think about other components that it would be wise...

What, .NET on Linux?!!

Where do you get that?

Welcome aboard.

In Director, reset the aborted job. Do not re-compile the job.
You should get an event logged "from previous run".
This will contain valuable diagnostic information.
If you can not solve it yourself, please post the contents of that log message.

For Ken: did you mean to add five exclamation points after each of those maniacal laughs?

Yes there is, but clearing the status file is not a magic bullet nor is it a universal panacea. That's why, in the client, it asks "are you sure?" twice. I want to see that you've investigated all other possibilities first. Clearing the status file discards potentially useful diagnostic information ...

FTP Stage streams data directly into your job without creating a local file. If you want to transfer the file before processing it, you need to script that and control it from some DataStage process such as a job sequence or a before-job subroutine.

Please be more specific about what you mean by "config" files.

For example you can have files (or tables) that describe order of execution, dependencies, parameter values, and lots of other things too.

By "gone" do you mean automatically purged? In that case, the answer is no - it's gone forever.

You might be able to retrieve the log hashed file from system backups and work your way through that, but it would be a tedious process.

OK, then get the format right.

Asking the same question in multiple forums won't get you multiple answers if the other posters are on their game.

You asked the same question here and I answered it there.

Complex Flat File stage should be able to read this file.

What happens if you capture file unit #2 (stderr in UNIX terminology)?
