I didn't say that these would occur, just that they could occur. If the initial load uses a different method from the recurrent one then there is a chance that the two methods won't synchronize (particularly after problems such as job aborts or retries with new data).

It would seem that the "$" character is not liked by the compiler. This would imply that you need to create a job parameter without a $-sign and fill it at runtime with with the project level variable, or use the function GetEnvironment("$EnvVar")

Did you delete it from the correct instance of the database? I've spent time trying to solve similar issues, only to discover that I deleted the test data instance table contents instead of the development instance.

This is more of a design question than a DS implementation one. Using a generated key from the beginning ensures that there are no duplicates and less "holes".

Did you declare this as a routine or a before/after job routine? There is a big difference. What is your compiler error?

The server probably didn't restart correctly. Shut down the server again. Do a "netstat -a | grep dsrpc" and there should be NO entries. Then restart the server.

Yes, you can do this. DataStage hashed files have various types, and a type 19 file is stored as directory. Each "Key" in this hashed file is stored as an OS file, and each hashed file record contents is stored as a row in that file. In your case the key (and file name) would be the "Country_cd". Yo...

That entry means that it took approximately a second to start up all the processes necessary to run the PX job, and less than a second to actually process the data.
