You said "hexadecimal code of 32 bits" bits are binary on or off. I guess you meant to say 32 bytes.

Are you using generated SQL or custom user-defined SQL? What is the actual SQL statement being used? Does it fail every time, sometimes, only when row count is greater than zero, etc.?

I'm on 8.7.0.0 on a Unix server as well and have not faced that problem on the same stage or any other Connector stage. I'll keep my fingers crossed! Have you checked if the problem happens across multiple clients or not? If not, your client install got messed up. Run the ISALite health check on you...

Of course you can save the Word file as a txt or similar format to begin with then read it without much effort.

Is the newer docx format any easier to work with? Is it XML based?

What about the MS OLD DB stage, would it help or not?

Well, I must quote from the docs, as I'm not making this stuff up... The FTP Enterprise stage allows you to "specify multiple URIs." "You can also use a wildcard character to retrieve multiple files." It also has an Open command option. I have used that to change the FTP mode, fo...

The IN clause is rather SQL-ish, whereas the Transformer stage does not directly support SQL statements like a database stage does. You can check like this: If (to_transf.COUNTRYCODE="US" Or to_transf.COUNTRYCODE="CA") And (to_transf.COUNTRY_CODE="US" Or to_transf.COUNT...

For 8.5 server components on Windows platform, only Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 are supported. You may think you have a working version on XP, but I would bet you just haven't hit problems on it yet. I bet the client tier works OK!

Re: Issue with IsValid function with integer(int32) and deci
