Hi,
I have one source file which needs to be merged with 8 files seperately. Can I use all of them in one job, or will there be a issue.
What I wnat to do is :

Merge1(Srcfile+ref1)--Tx--Target1
Merge2(Srcfile+ref2)--Tx--Target2
.
.
.
Merge8(Srcfile+ref8)--Tx--Target8

As all my Merge stages use the same source file, will it hang or will it be ok to use it as I have different targets ?.
Thanks,

Multiple readers are fine, it's multiple writers to the same sequential source that is a problem. So as long are your targets (if they are flat files) are unique you should be fine.

Thanks Craig,
The "writers" are not the same, and I am also using a Link Colector followed by an Aggregator stage to sum the vlaues up, hope this will not be a issue , in the sense the aggregator will wait till all the records are processed.

Sounds ok. If there does turn out to be an issue, let us know and we'll work through it.

Yep, will try it tomorrow and let you guys know!
Thanks a bunch
