And run counter to a 'Best Practices' document I was just sent from IBM. I was flumoxed to read that landing data in Server jobs was frowned upon and specifically mentioned as a 'Thou Shall Not'. :roll:

Just wanted to check as there is a "classic" bug where the job retains the proper initialization name but the contents could be a completely different job. If the parasite job is from another category, then it will promote to that other category and look like it didn't promote when you look in the "...

As to how it works - read the manual and/or the online help. Chapter 2 outlines the Methodology and lays the foundation for the spec...

Whomever installed the plug-in in the projects where it does work didn't do it correctly. You need to find your Server installation media and rerun the install. It will default to 'Maintenance Mode' and allow you to install new plug-ins. This way it not only gets into all existing projects but also ...

First order of business would be to search the forums as this has been discussed quite a bit over the years. :wink:

Usually has to do with CLOB fields or others of that ilk, that or columns declared as NUMBER with no precision in Oracle. Anything like that in your source table?

The Version Control project is "special" and requires more than a import to get it back to where it was. Read this thread for some specifics on what extra bits it needs.
