Ammm hmmmm, yes

That's what I am doing in the Child Sequence but I am only using the Terminator in the Parent Sequence.

Once I add the notification activity before the Terminator in Parent Sequence, I will get the emails.

Thanks a bunch! You made my day !!!

How to send emails from Sequencers

I have two types of Sequencers, lets call them Child Sequencers and Parent Sequencers. (1) The Child Sequencer that calls a job and some routine is sending emails when any exception/abort occurs anywhere within that Sequencer. I am using the Termination Activity Stage besides each stage and finally ...

Variable 'handle$list' never assigned a value.

I have a Master Sequencer. From all stages, I have two output. (1) When the stage is OK, the control goes to another stage. (2) When an error happens, the control goes to notification activity. I added Termination Activity stage and joined to all the notification avtivity that executes when an error...

Lookup Source should only have 1 record per lookup key from the transformer. Ideally lookup should only match on 1 row in the lookup source and return that row only. Fix your source and see there is only 1 row per primary key. Note: Please get premium membership. I have been a premium member and tel...

In the transformer, all I need to check if my first column of the source which is 1 character long contains any 1 these character ( any number from 1 -10, or any letter A - Z).

I agree with you 100% that with different Sources and Targets design and implementation Practices may be different. It would have been ideal to come up with 1 document that covers some common scenarios. I am looking into some very basic area like (1) How many max tranformer to have in 1 job? (2) How...

So, if all my parameters are in a Sequential File, I should design my job this way in a SERVER JOB?

(Server Job)

SQL FILE > TRANSFORMER > ODBC Stage

I don't have ODBC STAGE in my Parallel Job pane but I only see ODBC ENTERPRISE. So can I design SERVER job to accomplish this?

(1)
The same stored procedure runs fine on DB2 Connect interface. I pass input parameter and it gives me the resultset.

(2)
The reason the Stored Procedure is transform type because it takes 1 INPUT PARAMETER.
