Let us close this thread and just use this Parallel thread instead.

Wouldn't this be a case for "wave processing"?

If you have DataStage on UNIX, then an ODBC connection product will let you write straight to an Excel file on a Windows box. Otherwise I would just create a .csv file as you have suggested, then open that up in Excel.

I'd put it in the PX forum or here - and since you've opened this thread up already I suggest you just ask away here

The inclusion of transform stages can slow down compilation, particularly if the c++ compiler user license limit is low (i.e. 1). You can check that by compiling a large job with no transform stages - if it is fast then you have located the bottleneck.

Version 8 allows project creation from the command line, prior versions do not.

I saw one post recommending changing the Outlook default Internet message to "both" (that would be RTF and HTML) and that solved the problem. I think that is what I did as well.

dspxlearn - my Google here always goes to German (not English) pages so I can't help you much. You can try to search for "outlook att attachment" and you'll get a lot of hits - hopefully one of the first ones will contain the answer. If you do get a definitive answer please do post it.

The Job Activity stage does not cater for changing the warning levels. The two options that come to mind are (a) Write your own user activity BASIC routine that uses the standard API calls and explicitly change the warnings allowed {hint - put a job activity stage in a sequence canvas, then look at ...

Ok, define 3 parameters to your sequence, "APT1", "APT2" and "APT3", then use those values in your job activity stages.

the $APT_CONFIG_FILE is a reserved parameter and cannot be changed in the way that you are suggesting.

No, that isn't what I meant. Ignore the $APT_CONFIG_FILE for the job sequence, just pass explicit strings for the $APT_CONFIG_FILE values in the Job Activity stages themselves.

You can use the INDEX() function, i.e.
will return a 0 if it isn't "in" the set or a positive integer if it is.

This is something that Microsoft Outlook does; I remember finding a MS page on how to change that behaviour a while back.

Use the path to each of your 3 different config files as the $APT_CONFIG_FILE parameter for the Job Activity stages.

The number of physical (or virtual) CPUs in a system and the number of nodes declared in a config file have nothing directly to do with each other. You can declare a 64-way config file on a 1-CPU system or a single node configuration on a 64 processor system and pretty much any value in between. The...
