Welcome aboard.

NOTIFY ON is an important setting - it allows the job to be notified when the Transformer stages (which run in separate process(es)) finish. Get "them" to reinstate it.

With NOTIFY OFF in effect, notifications are not received immediately, which can cause the job to remain in a running state for an unnecessary period once the child processes have finished.

I'd wager it was more the &PH& clearing than turning NOTIFY off that solved your problem. As noted, get NOTIFY turned back on!
