I don't think a vertical pivot is useful here, since there are a number of lines which aren't used. I'd use a transform stage and stage variables to build up the output line from just those "keywords" which are relevant.

The structure seems to be:

{commandkeyword}": "{Freeform Value}

which would seem to be ease to parse. What are you trying to do with the values and what, given your example, would be a "different format" jill file?

Typically you would use an algorithm such as the following in a transform stage to ensure that you get a single unique number across any number of partitions in your job:

Code: Select all

(@NUMPARTITIONS * ( @INROWNUM - 1)) +  @PARTITIONNUM

I recall that the IBM cpp compiler was single-threaded on a machine, i.e. if one person is compiling then other compile requests are queued - perhaps something similar was happening in your case.

does this job have one or more transform stages in it? Can you "truss" the compilation process on the server?

even kill -9 from root won't help kill a process that isn't "listening" to signals. Are these processes waiting on a socket, i.e. try "netstat -a | grep dsrpc".

There are several ways to get into a zombie or defunct state. These usually boil down to where the process is in an uninterruptable system call and awaiting a response (i.e. communicating to a parent process). The UNIX "kill" signals are actually just interrupt requests and when a process ...
