What kind of stage is the target stage? What exactly is it programmed to do (for example Write Mode)?

If it's a database connector, are there any warnings generated in the database?

Do you have an after-job subroutine in your job design? If so, what does it do?

When the job starts, whether from ISD or not, the conductor process constructs the score out of the generated OSH and the parallel execution configuration file. So, yes, jobs executed by ISD can run parallel. But you must ask yourself whether it's worth it. What's the usual payload of a web client's...

And actually Ray, the first four are the pivot keys (bhasds: you can have more than one) while the last four are the pivoting columns. Otherwise as noted it's just a plain old horizontal Pivot. Save the transformer looping for something that actually requires it. :wink: :oops: Post edited appropria...

You don't have quotes around your delimiter characters in the construction expression - therefore they are being treated as negative zero.
