So, actually a job parameter who's defined value is $PROJDEF in the job? Just want to confirm first as it doesn't stand on it's own and I get the impression you are trying to use it that way. :?

Can you be more specific as to how you are passing this around?

Talk to your DBA since that's where they are coming from. Perhaps there's an option to override that behavior?

What does the monitor show for the target, 4M or 1.5M? What is happening on the Oracle side, inserts only / insert else update, something else?

You can easily get the message using grep and cut on the results: grep 'Job Status' (the results) | cut -d ':' -f 2 The grep would find the line you wanted and then the cut would deliver the second semi-colon delimited field. You could then further chop it down if you need. For an aborted run you wo...

Reset the job and try again?

FYI - the only way to 'gracefully' exit the sequence at a particular time would be from inside the sequence itself. What does the sequence do over the course of the day - loop?

Log entries cannot be 'suppressed', only removed after the fact either via your Auto Purge setting or manually.

As noted, you don't need to do this in SQL... why not just implement the logic in job as Ray suggested?

I don't know... it may be a bug with the connector, you'd need to contact your official support provider to know if that's the case. It may also be something that shouldn't have worked in the earlier version and is being (properly) caught now. We've seen both general situations here before. A couple...
