The longer answer requires that you identify that you are using the same key columns (in the same order), and that the location (position in the physical record) of each field is the same in both jobs. Fields are specified by location rat...

Run a job that has ExecSH as its before-job subroutine and execute the id command. The user that runs the job will appear in the job log.

You can (should) also use web console for Information Server to check the Engine credentials.

Download ETLstats (for free) from Kim Duke's website - much of what you want is there and you can adapt it, since source code is included.

Use a server Sequential File stage in a server Shared Container and make use of its excellent missing columns functionality.

Or, if it's a small to medium sized file, use a server job entirely.
