Is there a compile script in your "/apps/Ascential/Projects/edw_stage/RT_BP4334" directory and if so, can you execute it?

The easiest and safest way to do this is to do a full project export, create a new project and then do a full project import into the new one.

I had a similar case a while ago where the project had so many entries that, even with categories, the refresh would take minutes.

Hard to answer that question, as you haven't specified what the "issue" is. Much of the time problems are encountered in transformations, where you get warnings or error when trying functions on null values.

If you add the environment $APT_ORA_WRITE_FILES then the SQLLDR files will be visible to you after the run. If you check the data files and the precision in them is correct then you will need to look at Oracle regarding fixing this. Only if the data files contain truncated values is the error on the...

The code will most likely select all "F"ile type VOC entries, then check to see if the data and dictionary part files exist...

If you output the resulting column from the StringToDate('0000-01-01') function to a peek stage is it displayed correctly?
