It is a trick question. An incremental load is based on only selecting records in the source which have changed. You can do that without keys. All you need is last updated field in the source.

What to update in the target may require keys.

Wow, Ray. Give Craig a little credit once in a while. Besides I would be more impressed if you thought it and he wrote it.

If you do not want to land the data unencrypted then you create your own stage type and pipe the data through the command to decrypt then transform it and pipe it back through the encryption process before outputing it.

Is your encryption PGP or GPG?

Ken Bland has a utility which will fix the auto purge settings for all jobs on his web site.

There used to be a utility on ADN which would do a CLEAR.FILE RT_LOGnnn for every job. This is not recommended but does work. Not sure who has this now. Would be easy to rewrite.
