I could do this but assign to the next transaction instead of the first one. So if anyone can tell if the other way is possible? Please find the attached...

So does that mean we w...

Yes the SQL Server is of low configuration. It is a virtual server and having only 2 nodes with 2 GB of Memory. The DBA increased the CPU on that virtual server and added 2 more GB on that(Windows server 2003 - Standard edition). There are no updates, the job just loads the staging table. And the ta...

I cannot do that as the Transformer stage wont allow that name and suggests that names cannot have special characters other than underscore(_). I can convey that to Business and they may probably agree, but wondering if there is...
