Do not start jobs with less than X cores per host

ADM - PANELID ADB1S - DROP at COMMAND line does not provide process to DROP RESTRICT ON DROP

Refresh : subset row

Hi, The idea is to have No limit for SQL length when we need to refresh a subset of rows . The code limitation for SQL length IS 1000 characters. Sometimes SQL code is shorter than this limit, no issue. For other usages we can have over 1000000 ch...

Add Gateway property to allow customer configuration of large file threshold for allowing other gateways to pick up waiting files
