Welp... that's called 'experience', young feller. Yep, experience.

I lifted them from an earlier post and yes, they seemed to have moved around. A simple search on the site took me here:

Looks like a good starting point.

Manishk - Curious why we are talking about manual Job Control code if you are allegedly using a 'Job Sequence'?

Reread the linked post. It's not a problem you can solve. Never implied there was any problem with your job - you simply called a web service that was unavailable for an unknown reason. You did about all you can do in that situation - unless you own the service, of course - wait and try again.

I don't believe the question as asked is being addressed:

It's not about creating and using variables during runtime but about creating and setting variables during runtime.

Carry on.

There was a problem and someone fixed it. One of many Google results for that error message:

I doubt you'll be able to use the Notification Activity stage, doesn't seem like it will support your needs. Consider writing a custom routine where you can pass in the pertinent details and leverage either DSSendMail directly or DSExecute your operating system's mailx command.

Good to know. If you can, please post the ECASE number for this patch, it will help others with the problem get the solution as easily as possible.

As noted - perhaps you should define what you mean by 'file level validation'. Otherwise, people have to guess.

I too faced similar problem.. I think it is due to the file FTP from windows to unix server. Typically - yes. Or sometimes people map a UNIX drive in Windows and just drag and drop files. ps. That won't "solve" the problem, per se. To solve it one would need to be able to read and handle DOS files ...

Sequence jobs do not process records - they run other jobs or activities, so in general you get the notion of processing records in one out of your head. However - if you are on a recent 7.5.x version, then you have the UserVariables Activity stage along with the Start Loop and End Loop stages. You ...

I tried to keep both commands in seperate file and mentioned that file in the execute command activity.Its not getting executed.I tried with file extensions .txt, .bat, .exe. The .bat extension should have worked. What happened when you tried that? ps. You really don't want to be using the root of ...

And? You've got your answer - you will need to adjust your metadata for use in the ODBC stage, it seems. You can thank Bill Gates for that. Only question in my mind is: does it make a difference if you use the Oracle 'wire' drivers over the 'non-wire' ones? Which have you tried? Rhetorical question,...

Yes - of course - you are better off matching the first action to whichever you will have 'more' of. This lessens the number of times you burn two actions to perform one. My two cents on the 'dual action' actions? Don't use them. To me they are a crutch supporting a poor job design, a dangerous shor...
