$CommandOutput is an activity variable associated with an Execute Command activity in a job sequence. It may be used to supply a value to any downstream activity, for example to a job parameter in a Job activity or to a routine argument in a Routine activity or to any trigger expression.

Then you have to resolve whatever caused the message - 0 rows out either means that the rows were rejected within the job, or that they were rejected by the database server to which you sent them. Or, perhaps, that the after-job subroutine is not well written and is not performing row counts on all ...

Version 8 is rather different, as you have observed. The big problem is that your design time metadata are also stored in the XMETA database, and there's no convenient way to restore that from your backup files. Even ignoring that, if you restore to a different location, you are going to need to eff...

Catastrophe if you use rm, so don't. You need to be aware of the fundamental interconnectedness of all things in the Repository. Why not switch to Detail view in Manager which shows the date/time modified and select jobs from there for deletion? You can also get a list from DS_AUDIT. SELECT * FROM D...

Welcome aboard.

Search your file system to find where xlC_R actually is. This is where the APT_COMPILER (and probably APT_LINKER) should point.

There's no such concept as insert/update for Data Sets. Add a flag column that contains "I" or "U" in the Data Set, and use that to indicate whether the record is to be inserted and updated. Use that in the job that reads from the Data Set subsequently.
