Adding a dummy column is manual work and may not work while automating your process. A food for thought :wink:

How are you creating the hashed file? If from a flat file, make sure you have quote character as (") so that they dont get transfered to the hashed file.

Are you both having fun with the poor guy Bhaggu, what exactly do you want to know. A single processor is required for your stuff to execute. In px jobs, the number of processors is irrelevent per se. Its the number of nodes that decides how much parallelism will be incorporated. Is this an intervie...

Change the datatype of your target stage to BigInt and see if that helps. That number is too large for integer datatype.

Send the stream down into remove deplicate stage and set the property to "Retain Last" keyed on the grouping key. Thats a workaround.
