Wow! That'd do it. Congratulations on your detective work. I didn't even think of that possibility (though it had to be an identically-named obhect of some kind).

Use an operating system command (such as DIR with appropriate switches) in an Execute Command activity to generate a list of file names. In a User Variables convert this list from line-terminator-delimited to comma-delimited using a Convert() function (the line terminators are represented by @FM). Y...

That looks like a simple vertical pivot (a following Column Export stage would pack the columns into a single column). What have you tried? We're not really in the business of being the developer you're pretending to be.

If you're not going to use pxEreplace() then you need a combination of Index() function and substring operators. For example: sv1 <-- Index(InLink.TheString, "Kolkata", 1) sv2 <-- If sv1 Then InLink.TheString[1,sv1-1] : "Calcutta" : InLink.TheString[sv1+7,Len(InLink.TheString)-7]

Is the WebSphere Application Server instance server1 already running when you try to start it?

Do you specify the name of the instance in your startServer.bat command?
