Problem conclusion
Operator stages character columns as usttrings when the Oracle client character set is multibyte. But output link has strings. This is not correct. And it leads to conversion warnings. Stage can not see what is on the link. Only recourse is to allow the option to emit string schema even as ustring is appropriate. You drop conversion warnings. But tend to attract size warnings!
