So this is a Server job rather than a Parallel job? Which exact "Oracle stage" are you using?

And I've used dscmdexport for years in a version of the batch file that Kim Duke has posted on his site. Interesting.

Been discussed here many times, do an exact search for "did not finish OK, return code" and you'll find your answer.

Unfortunately, the whole point of the 'concurrent' version is to allow parallel access without creating duplicates. If that's not working... :cry:

[OT] Help with "vim" on Linux

Working on my first Linux system where vi is actually vim or "Vi IMproved" under the covers and some of the so-called improvements are making me crazy. Two in particular and curious what my options are, if any: 1) It remembers where I was in every dang file from session to session and puts...

Sunday is "day zero" of the week unless you override that with the OriginDate option, so yes as long as you know Sunday is 0 and not 7. Now, I think this can change under NLS... or can be changed by LOCALE... not sure. :?

And... does this actually work for you and give you the desired results from the command line? I'm asking because (unless it has changed in 8.x) that command will only export a single job not an entire project - you would use dscmdexport for the latter. :?

OK, fair enough... if you need to retain it, set the Data Element for that column to XML and that will tell it that it is already XML and to leave it alone.

So, specifically... you've got a large text field that people type novels into and they've put <newline> characters in the data. Yes? Would there be a problem with removing them or do they need to be preserved?

That shouldn't be a problem as "&apos" is the correct way to represent that character in XML and anything that consumes XML should know (and translate) that. What issue does this cause? :?
