How about using a Sequential File stage with a find command as the Filter? The find command probably has all the options you'll need.

If you're the manager responsible for making the keep/no keep decision, make it. If you're not, find out who is, and ask about plans for MQ. If there are none, don't renew. You (they) can always buy again later.

Why didn't you post the question in the Server job forum?

In server jobs the reject link from a Transformer stage that feeds the OCI stage is used to capure rejected rows. Link variables can be used to capture the DBMS error code and message.

10 is the maximum number of digits that an Integer data type can have. Therefore, when represented as a string, a precision (length) of 10 seems appropriate. In fact it's not, because you also need a position for the sign!

Only your enterprise can answer that. Why did they buy the licence in the first place? What are their plans? We are not privy to them, so can't advise you cogently.

You might want to start by clarifying what exactly it is they (the requestors) mean by "run the osh".

And even whether they have any idea what they're talking about.
