Link property retrieval error - Merge stage

Post by kaps »

Guys

I am using Merge Stage to do full outer join(complete set) of two text files to find add, delete and updates. I am getting this following error.

Link property retrieval error

I did set up the temp dir. Any one have clue ?

In this forum few posts say that performance will get affected if we use merge stage. is that true ? I am planning to sort the files before using merge stage. It should improve the performance...Am I correct ?
Let me know your views.

Thanks

Hi,
1. if you have more detailed error it might help.
2. from my experiance if you changed things in the merge stage your better off rebuilding it.

IHTH,
