Yes, it does. The difference is that automatic mode basically 'back doors' the operation and talks directly to an API - I don't remember the name but it's in the help for the stage. It is speed limited by how fast you can pump data to it. I've never measured the speed difference, but it doesn't surp...

Lots of fixes... enhancements too, from what I recall. As noted, it will be in the README.

(I'm trying really hard not to just say ".2" but it's obviously not quite working)

That's certainly the easiest way, if you can pass the date in. You can also (script or routine) write to a fixed name and rename it 'after job'.

In other words, you don't need to read the other job's log to get that information. There are functions to allow you to check the job directly if all you want is the information from its most recent run. There are also functions to pull information from logs, DSGuru noted one such. There are also al...

Post your script.

Depends on your definition of CHAR. Have you checked the Alpha function?

Are you reading or writing this xml? If writing, passing a null value should result in the tags not being included, while an empty string will result in empty tags. It can also depend on which (if any) of the following Transformation Settings you have enabled: Replace NULLs with empty values Replace...

Doesn't work how?

Uncheck it. That option says you want something logged in that case. The assumption before this has been that you have the 'Automatically handle activities that fail' option enabled, the 'two trigger' approach was specifically for that. If you enable the option you noted, it will always log the war...

Post your triggers not the Sequence code. Also tell us exactly which 'Compilation options' you have checked in the job properties and your exact version of DataStage, please.

Yes, I've done this several times and know it works if done properly. So, what exactly happened when you used both a 'Failure' and 'Otherwise' trigger from the routine to a Sequencer set to 'Any'?
