Not possible with current Information Server roles. You might submit an enhancement request through your official support provider, with a business case (or several) justifying the requirement.

Assuming that you don't need to check for a match on OldValue create a stage variable for each of the 150 columns, each derived using an expression of the form If RecKey = columnname Then NewValue Else svColumnName If you do need to check that OldValue is correct you have additional processing (more...

Prove that these records exist in Project B. Execute the SELECT statement (with hard-coded search string 'PRODUCT') from the Administrator client command window or from a TCL shell on the engine. Prove, too, that these job names exist in Project B. SELECT NAME FROM DS_JOBS WHERE NAME LIKE '%prd%';

Or add a simple server job (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename) ahead of JobA in the sequence. This job stores the count in its user status area, and a Nested Condition activity can detect that value to determine whether even to run JobA (which, therefore, never needs to abort).

Arguments to Convert() are in the wrong order. And the names of activity variables begin with the "$" character. Try something like Convert(@FM, ",", ExecCommand.$Output) Build it with the expression editor so that you get hints about what goes where and don't mis-spell the activ...

NET AGENT is not the same as ASB Node Agent. You need to start the ASB Node agent (and probably the Logging agent as well, which uses port number 31533 by default). There is a single script (Node_Agents.sh) in the ASBNode/bin directory that starts both agents. This should be documented in your shut ...

31531 is the port number used by the ASB Node agent (at least by default).
Until this is remedied you cannot assert that this is an Oracle issue.

Use a netstat command to verify that this port is listening.
