Hello everybody.. I have a job which has a xml file as input that loads data into multiple tables. Now, the file we receive comes with few other tags also which we have to ignore. eg: <ns10:myAssetDetails xmlns:ns11="xxxx:xxx-xxxxx:vs.2001-10-01" xmlns:ns14="xxxx:xxx-xxxxx:vs.2001-10-...

Job restarting automatically

Hello all,

We noticed a strange behviour in DS job today. We were restarting the target database(sql server) when the job was running. The job aborted and immediately restarted. Would like to know whether it is a usual behaviour of DS to understand that connection got lost, and re-run again?

Thanks

Yes, correct. I have used 'Final Delimiter String' proerty only, and it doesn't seem to write 'ABC' in the end. Tried giving ABC in single, double, and without quotes and it doesnt get added in the end of the last field.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks.

Job Status

Hello All,

I would like to know whether there is any difference between the job status 'Finished' and 'Finished(See log)? I could note that most of my old jobs show the latter status.

Thanks.

Re: When to use Copy Stage

We can use copy stage when we want to load our source data into multiple targets, and when store stage does not support multipe links.

No, it's not. :?

As noted, that is an external representation of the internal value and the viewer is "adding" the zeroes. Trimming the zeroes is a waste of time.
Thanks everybody !
