The problem is between the keyboard and the chair.

Somewhere in server 2 the job name SEQ_X does exist, whether it's simply in an index that needs to be updated, or hidden in some archive category.

Use Quick Find to find it. If that doesn't find it, re-index the project.

Do you have Balanced Optimization licensed? This functionality could push the join back into the database automatically, based on a cost-based algorithm.

Can you be more specific about which stage type you are referring to?

Then read the chapter on this stage in the manual, and report back to us what it does, and why you believe it should be able to perform a vertical pivot.

Create the table with the base name only. In the controlling sequence rename the file once the job is done. Use one of the SDK key management routines to generate the sequence. (Reset the key value to 0 each time the sequence runs.)

I'm presuming you have engine, services and repository tiers on one machine. This combination is far more demanding of resources than the version 7.5 server (engine only). You're running out of memory when you run the big job. Solution is to add more memory.
