hmm. I don't know about the MSSOAP ports...and can't remember exactly what tcpmon needs for it's configuration, but do some searching on the web for this utility, which, if memory serves me correctly, is an Apache open source offering. I haven't used it in years, but I remember setting it up as a pr...

there's no way to "hack" it, if that's what you mean. I don't know about what we can do here...but share more detail. What sort of stage types are we talking about between the Job and/or the table....tell us the exact stage in the "one time run" Job, and the other Stage or file/t...

...and use caution. Every time I have dug into researching the tracing options within WAS, I was warned that these are for "debugging" and not the kinds of things (unless you are intending to write a fancy user exit) that you would turn on indiscriminately. Find tooling that does exactly t...

There's no way to "unbind" something that was "automatically" bound. Not a whole lot you can do here without editing the Job or deleting it, unless the connection is via an rdbms stage and you established a database "alias" and the alias' are different in this "one...

"in theory" it could...but that's not what Metadata Workbench is for, and the process for doing it (collecting OMD for an always on ISD Job) is not a good idea....you'd still have to potentially stop the job, or only have OMD each time that ISD decided to cycle the Job. Metadata Workbench ...

...it sounds like it is not a "manual" binding. It looks like lineage is working great, and you have some jobs that connect that you prefer would not connect? if you purge the OMD for those job runs and re-run automated services, that will do it (assuming they connected because of OMD).......

Hard to say...create a job and lay down an xml stage, and then when inside the "assembly", try to launch the schema library manager from there....could be a client installation problem, if it's just happening when you try to open the tooling..... ...try also on another machine with the Dat...

Cool! Which BI object did you connect to, and then which "lineage" level did you start at? [try them all...start at your whole report, then maybe parts of the model, sub parts of the report, etc.].
