There is nothing fully automatic, because it is not necessarily the case that every job will need to be changed. For example, a stage that selects particular columns from a table may not need to select the newly-added columns at all. The correct approach is to perform a where used analysis on the ta...

Don't forget to schedule time to check prerequisites on the Linux machine and to perform a health check afterwards. Both of these can be undertaken using ISALite.

TMPDIR is the name of an environment variable.
$TMPDIR is a reference to the current value of that environment variable.
