I prefer not to hide the cause of the problem by using a message handler but to correct the issue. What type of stage is producing this error?

Why not put an execute command stage for "sleep 60" and "sleep 120" into the stream for each job that should be staggered?

Decimal or Integer, depending on whether or not you have integer values or not. Are the signs leading, trailing and are there spaces in the values?

'2009-11-01' is a Date and cannot be converted to a timestamp they way you are writing it.
Try :

Code: Select all

TimestampToString(LNK_CONV_TRANS2.SERVICE:' 00:00:00',"%yyyy-%mm-%dd %hh:%nn:%ss")

Have you tried a force-recompile of the job, it might be that the binary for the transform stage is not present.

Since sequential files tend not to be the blocking factor, I would start by looking into the Oracle conection. I would talk to the DBA and use Oracle tools to monitor the query and it's progress, as it is likely that Oracle is causing the issue here.
