Version 11.3 included a significant change to scheduled import job behavior: imports are now reported as failed if any individual record fails. While this improves error visibility, it introduces unintended side effects for scheduled and dependent jobs, including premature termination of file processing and preventing downstream operations from running.
This session walks through the real-world impact of this change and presents an interim, configurable scheduling approach that restores prior behavior without masking errors. Through scheduling patterns, SQL-based verification techniques, and concrete examples, the presentation demonstrates how to reliably detect file-not-found conditions, distinguish them from "no records processed" scenarios, and ensure dependent jobs execute correctly until all files are exhausted.
