If the column has an identity property, you provide the remainder of the row from DataStage - you do not provide anything (though some databases allow you to provide 0) for the identity column.

... and it's hashed file, not hash file.

If you delete the hashed file all information associated with it is lost. You must make your own arrangements if you need separate storage of these tuning parameters.

If you have MKS Toolkit, CygWin, or some other UNIX emulator, you could use a UNIX command such as uniq or sort -u to de-duplicate your data. If you have version 7.5x2, you get MKS Toolkit installled with it.

Unless you delete the orphaned files (DS.CHECKER) you will not be able to create a new job number 1.

To delete all jobs in the project the simplest method is to delete the project, then re-create it in the same location.

Welcome aboard.

Given how new version 8 is, I don't think you'll find anyone who has done this particular upgrade. In theory it ought to be reasonably transparent. However check with your support provider - who may advise upgrading to 7.5 first.
