Good. Figured it would be something like that, just recently went through something similar with a different set of idle timeouts which involved a fight with the security folks.

Best 'person' to ask that question to would be your official support provider.

First I would suggest you do an exact search here for "Impossible code statement reached", there are other posts that mention that phrase.

Andy noted a good reason. However, there's a big difference between checking to see if a file exists versus checking to see if it is empty or not. Use whichever method is appropriate for your need.

ps. "test -s" would work as well for the latter.

As noted, sure. You'll soon find out what, if anything, is dependent on these services. Just be prepared for your DataStage jobs (and perhaps other applications) to have mysterious problems. However, that evidence can be used with your Security Team to get a waiver on the audit. Let us know what com...

If this is just to import metadata then create the one and edit it, once for each source. Otherwise, as noted, create five. In the grand scheme of things to worry about, why this? Go five.

Sorry, but could you elaborate details on what exactly "that you will not be dependent on the source in the near future" might mean? I'm a bit at a loss at the moment.

Because the Directory is never truly idle unless you've disabled the refresh.

Typical advice when it comes to Windows Services would be if you are not intimately familiar with them and what they do, leave them alone. Of course, there's another school of thought which says if you're not sure that you need one, turn it off. See what happens. Then report back.

Same here.

Those are both 'remote' services. Why are you worried about them?

It's not the same issue, similar perhaps but not the same. Please start a new post with the gory details of your particular issue.

Or explicitly pass NULL for those first two conditions.

Then check for NULL explicitly and handle it explicitly in addition to your other checks / transforms.

I have no idea what "vFiler" is but it would have you allow you to mount a Windows share on the Linux server so that it appears as "local" storage for you to be able to use it like that. Typically, one would use Samba or something like it for that purpose.
