I am a little uncomfortable with what we call load balancing. Ken's code is nice but it is a throttle to limit the number of jobs running at one time to x.

This has been a bug for a long time. There is a routine to fix this included in EtlStats. There is also a job to fix old records in the EtlStats tables. It happens when the job crosses midnight.

In EtlStats there is a routine to call to send attachments using blat.exe for Windows and another using Craig's method calling a shell script named Email.ksh. Both are included in the zip file. I think both have been posted on this site.

We did it in DataStage by running a job over and over until it selected 0 rows. What a mess. It is sort like drilling down one level at a time.
