Kind of surprised as - unless something has changed - you are only allowed to have one key checked as the Repetition Element. :?

Because you defined them as string (VARCHAR) fields in the Sequential File target stage.

Perhaps drive the sources from a table or file, read from that to dynamically drive your loop.

You should also be able to confirm what was or wasn't installed by your Admin or whomever did the actual install. Plus I believe there may be a manifest file (XML perhaps) on the server showing the installed components and their versions. May be. :wink:

Just to expand on that 'nothing fancy' comment, I just meant it's a SQL query to SELECT MAX(whatever) from the target. The wrinkle is how you get that into the job and like most things in a tool like this, there are many ways to skin the proverbial cat. A separate step could run the query and write ...

Welcome. Without dwelling much on your design, one typical approach is to gather the highest surrogate value from the target just before the load and you don't need anything fancy for that, then you should be able to seed a Surrogate Key Generator state file to use that as the starting value. It wil...

Agree. Why spend money on perfectly good memory and then not use it? :wink:

Please clarify, "items" here means... ?

You're better off taking a full export daily rather than an incremental, trying to cherry pick just the updated objects and then wondering where they actually ended up. IMHO

I'm assuming (can't turn it up in the docs at the moment) it is related to defining your multiple record types, as in the field to check and the values to identify (tag) each row type. It sounds like it found two things there that you didn't account for... which also sounds like they are not setup c...
