I am not sure what the maximum value is but I bet you are getting duplicates because your SDKSequeces hashed file is out of sync with the database. I think you should always reseed these values from the target database. I included a job to do this in EtlStats. Select max(#jpColumnName#) from #jpTabl...

There is a shell script below the project with schedule in the name. Permissions on this script sometimes mess up this scheduling process. If I remember correctly you do not want the set uid bit set.

ls -la *sched*

-rwsrwsr-x

Should not be a s in any of these on this script.

Dynamic hashed files resize themselves as they grow in records or decrease the number of records. So the modulo grows from 1 to 2 to 3 and so on. Where static you tell it the modulo and separation at create time or when you manualy resize it.

It is possible to send multiple lines in a parameter. It might be hard in a script to quote it correctly but in job control it is possible.

The issue is Microsoft is always late in drivers for UNIX if any at all. All other databases support UNIX out of the box.
