For DS 6.0+ the DS_AUDIT hashed file tracks changes done via the Designer or Manager. That will tell you a lot about who touched a job last. Search the forum for this undocumented internal repostory file....

I would like a clean defintion of the difference between Kimball and Inmon as it applies to ETL or delivering a solution. What do you think we DSX developers would benefit from knowing more or understanding better these books and there is a lot of books and articles. What table designs or ETL desig...

By the way Ken, can you explain "Bus" versus "CIF" without using buzzwords? I double dare you. No way. Both my responses said the same thing: read their books and figure out the differences and whether the authors have contributed anything to you. Solutions are "right-sized" according to the skills...

Rollback does work, provided your loading methods allow for it. You need to understand what the database is doing when you're loading data. OCI/ODBC connections use DML and have a commit count. An errant insert does not cause a rollback in certain databases, the row simply rejects and others continu...
