You certainly are allowed to restart a checkpointed job with different parameters, but it will log an extra message about the fact that they are different. Now, whether that will work properly or not based on your jobs is a whole 'nuther kettle of fish.

I would think that if one were on an MPP or Massively Parallel Processing system, one would know it. Dollars to doughnuts you are on an SMP system.

Seems like many of the checks could be simplified if you stripped spaces and up-cased the value before checking, then you could do one check rather than the four you are currently doing.

Resetting an Aborted Sequence clears all the checkpoints, so it would start over from the beginning. Run it without the reset as long as the status is 'Aborted/Restartable'. And there's a dsjob option of -run -mode RESET if you need to reset one from the command line. Note that it doesn't actually r...

Mostly not work. :wink:

Regardless, that 'split' will need to happen either in a Transformer or in a custom XSLT in an XML stage.
