After my initial post, I discovered that the email body does not accept parameters (Parallel sequence) and instead simply inserts the hasehd parameter (e.g., #ParamName#)... so your suggestion to use a Server job will hopefully solve that part... I just have very little Server job experience... The ...

I have a basic 3 'stage' job sequence. 1) Job Activity - Executes a DS job that creates a TXT file containing an integer which represents the identifier of the just completed nightly batch run (works fine) 2) Routine Activity - Reads the integer from the above file (works fine) and, if the number is...

Distributed Transaction Stage using Oracle

Does anyone know if there is any documentation on using the DTS stage with Oracle???... I've gone through the latest DS Redbook(July 2008) but since DB2 was the only option as that went to press, it does not provide any Oracle-specific information... neither does the DS QS Connectivity Guide for Dis...

Chuckd248, Since you said that you have no problems with DB tables, so that means your IA is up and running just fine. Your problem is only against the .txt file. That's why you need to bring in the QETXT.INI file in order to do the column anaysis against the .txt file. Browse your QETXT.INI file t...

When I set up the ODBC connection to access...
