Mutex error

[ewartpm]

Hi Guys

I know there are a number of entries in this forum on this topic. I have looked at them all, tried everything suggested and still get the timeout error even when I have no row bvuffering enabled and I'm not caching any hash files.

The job itself is largeish, 4 transform stages and about 15 hashfiles being used for lookups. The source is a sequential file and the target is Sql Server 2000. Only processing about 40,000 rows.

The DataStage server is my laptop at the moment because I'm working offsite. It is a P3, has 512MB RAM, 30GB HHD and 1 CPU. It manages all the other jobs except this particular one.

Is there anything else one can set, try etc to avaiod this mutex error?

Hmmm... if you've gone through all of the 'mutex' posts and nothing there has helped then perhaps you could try making the job less 'largeish' - is that a possibility? Do you have other jobs that are similiar to this job (in size / complexity / behaviour) but that run fine?
