We seem to be missing some vital piece of information or this would have been solved some time ago seeing as how you've tried about every combination under the sun.

And don't use pipes unless your values are pipe delimited in your source string. In other words, match what is existing in both what you tack on each end of the source string and what you wrap each word with. Your example showed spaces, hence my posted example. And then as Ray noted, you need to do ...

The Pivot stage needs a fixed number of columns... as in the maximum you could possiblty get. Then as Ray notes you'd need to filter out the unused values (the NULLS) post-pivot. It works but you can end up creating a ton of records to filter out. Without transformer looping you may need to do this ...

They are two separate options and one should not be affecting the other. What's in the Sequence job's log with regards to the Notification Activity stage, what information is it logging? Any issues with it finding the attachment? If this is a bug in your version and you truly are back in the 7.x wor...

The trick to avoiding substring matches is to use delimiters, in this case a space. Add one on each end of the full string and each search term:

Search for " to " within " " : source_string : " "

I just wanted to ensure you saw his entire response. The way I read it, the 'writing to a file' part was just to ensure the XML in the CLOB was well formed. Once that was confirmed, switch back to sourcing directly from the table but use the "content" option rather than the URL to read the...
