You don't need to do anything special. You should be able to import objects from a lower version into a higher version without issue.

I'm curious how a Server job would have references to ORCHESTRATE in its SQL:

Code: Select all

AND a.PERSON_ID= ORCHESTRATE.PERSON_ID

That kind of behaviour is almost always indicative of a resource issue. I too would wonder about the server load at the time it happens.

I agree, it's just a pivot. Hard-code three new columns with the 'column names' and then pivot them with their matching data column. Write out the file without enabling the column headings option.

Trust me, it doesn't take much of a mistake to corrupt a project. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. :oops: In my case, it was a simple typo with regards to the category of the job which took the help of the awesome Karen Powers to resolve.

Yes, you should. Flat files are just character data after all. Of course, make sure you're still writing out a valid decimal value but as noted, convert it to a string so you have full control over the formatting.

An exact search for "Non-pipe (or non-virtual data set) with .v in its name" returns 32 matches, should be some useful information there.

I don't have time for much of an answer but yes - you can certainly do that with a "generic" job and many people here have done exactly that. You'll also find multiple conversations on the topic. At a high level it involves the use of schema files and runtime column propagation, aka RCP.
