Hi,
Components are independent of the OS, but the properties may be dependent on OS...

Change the path for the location which matches with your unix system, the job should work.
Thanks

No
I'm executing it on server itself by exporting the job

what's happen (or not happen) when you run the job in Linux?

Hi,
I have one more design...
-- Schedule a job every day with optimum frequency
-- Once the job is execute, record the timestamp, size of the file you processed
-- At the next execution compare it with your earlier records and if different load it again else end the job...
-- This way you will be able to provide proof for your data update and reading..

you don't have to schedule that Talend job as it's triggered (waiting for an event).
or perhaps you want to stop it after some tentatives or for an ending period. Use option in that case.
