Hi Karl, Thanks for clarifying this. From your email its quite clear that trying to do this will be a bad idea.
My requirement is to be able to associate every file crawled with a corresponding run id. For example, if a job copies 100 files from sharepoint repository to a shared directory, I should be able to recognize the 100 files in comparison to another job that copied another 50 files from the same source and target. Do you have any recommendations on how we could achieve that?

It's not part of the general contract of connection instances that they be associated with specific jobs. The API structure reflects this. Access to a job's data for the purposes of modifying how a connector behaves is also a great way to build a connector that will not work properly. I highly discourage this. There is access to job information that is appropriate for a connector to see, but it comes in via the I*Activity interface instances that are passed to specific methods implemented by the connector. These do not include access to the job ID, however.

Either via the thread context or some other mechanism? I looked through the code but I was not able find anything to tie the two together. Request your inputs/advice on this.
