I have a DS job that uses a QS plugin. The way my QS project is setup is as follows:

<ProjectABC>
<Job1> Select stage
<Job2> Unijoin + Transfer Stage
<Job3> Unijoin + Transfer Stage
<Job4> Unijoin + Transfer Stage
<AllJobs>

AllJobs is basically a replica of Job1 through 4. It has the same stages lined up back to back.

Here comes the interesting part: When I try to import metadata from individual jobs , the thing works with no problems at all. On the other hand, when I try to import metadata from AllJobs I get the usual "QSRT manager blah blah" spiel.

Case sensitivity, the directory structure and all the usual suspects have been ruled out already..

Any takers on what would be the problem on this?

Ok, here's the log entry where the metadata import fails. The case is open with Asc but wanted to check if there is anybody else who ran into the same problem..

Thanks..

Is qsrtmngr running? What happens if you try to import a table definition via the QualityStage plug-in? In particular, what error message appears?

qsrtmngr is running. On top of that I have no problems with importing metadata for Job1, Job2, 3, 4 but when I try to import it for the job that is made of all the stages of Job1, 2, 3, 4 in the same sequence , the thing fails..

Ray,
we found the problem. "pre sort input file" option was not clicked in on of the UniJoin stages. To me that shouldn't be a show stopper as the metadata will be the same even if the record is presorted or not. When we restaged this, it worked like a charm..
