Server job linked input not found

marc_brown98 · Post by **marc_brown98** » Tue May 18, 2004 12:09 pm

Being fairly new to DS, I have a job that I was finishing up and wanted to change the names of the input links. After renaming one, the job won't compile, even though the link name appears in the diagram and in the transform it is the same. Any hints on what to do to fid this?

Thanks
Marc

Are you using it in a Constraint? They won't auto-rename like the Derivation links will.

I just went into the job to check the contraint, now, DS is giving me an OLE error. hmm.

OLE errors are usually memory problems on your client, try rebooting your PC.

Ogmios,
I rebooted, to no avail. I can't get to the Link to rename it, also I cannot view the properties on the output file, It seems like the job has become corrupt or something. Any other suggestions are very much appreciated.

If one of my developers came to me with that, my first hunch would be that you erased part of your DataStage client installation.

Normally to see the properties of a stage, right click with your mouse on the stage and select "Properties".

To change a link name: right click on a link with your mouse and select "Rename".

If these elementary things are not working something very BASIC is wrong (no pun intended

). Grab someone else his PC with a DataStage client on it and try it from there. If it works from the other PC, reinstall you client.
