Assuming this is a job being run by a Job Activity stage in the Sequence, then it would seem that your assertion that there is no problem with the connection doesn't really seem true.

Is your search target always on its own as in your example? If so, then it seems a simple equality check is all you need. If the 'word' is buried in a larger string, then a function like Index() or Matches() can be used to detect a substring within a string.

Once you find it, then what?

Adding in dynamic dependancies like that is a complete game changer and goes well beyond simply triggering 'a list of jobs at the same time'. It can certainly be done and Ken Bland's KBA Job Control Utility has been doing exactly that for quite a number of years. Rolling your own would be both an in...

Add a 'key change column' to the Sort stage and then examine the values that come from it. You should easily be able to tell what constraint expression to use for each target.

Phantom just means 'background' and the numbers will change each run, so no worries (and no useful information) there. Can you post some examples of the actual error contents for us to see?

Don't attach to the current job, use a handle of DSJ.ME instead. And the STATUS values are the standard ones defined in the dsapi.h include file - 0, 1, 2, 3, etc - a.k.a. DSJS.RUNNING, DSJS.RUNOK, etc.
