unrecognised extract type error

[mellyb]

When running a QS match job (geo-match) which is being called through DS 7.5.2. I am getting the following error -

ERROR: unrecognized extract type:

Has anyone encountered this error before?

Many thanks

Not actually seen that message as such, but here's a few things you can check if you haven't already:

Does the QS job run okay from QS itself?

Does the job run from the command line?

Check the QS logs in /logs folder. They usually contain more detailed information.

Check the input to the QS job is fixed length.

Check there is actually data in both files and that they are correctly located.

hth!

Welcome aboard. Have you deployed the job in QS? Can you please post details of what you have in the Match stage?

The job is an Undup match in QS with only two blocking passes - no fuzzy logic is used.
The extract (ouput) contains four variables, set, type, pass, weight followed by the input file structure.

It appears to run successfully within QS but when deployed via DS we get the error.
None of the QS logs say anything meaningful except: ERROR unrecognised extract type.

I have deleted all Scripts in the QS project area and redeployed the job in both File mode and data stream mode but this hasnt helped.

The input file is fixed length.

Somewhere, somehow, it appears to have lost the extract type - showing blank after the "extract type:" in your error message. I think you're going to need to involve IBM support on this one - maybe running the job in debug mode under their guidance will reveal more.

I would try reimporting the meta data from QS in to DS if only because IBM support will ask you to do that anyway!

Reimporting quite often fixes problems.
