DS Repository Interface error

[kab123]

Hello everybody,

can anybody tell me what this error message mean?
" Error Calling Subroutine:*DataStage*DSR_SELECT (Action=3): check DataStage is setup correctly in project XXX
(The connection is broken (81002))

Is this something that popsup if we dont use datastage for sometime or something related to administrative issue....

Thanks in advance...

This can mean lots of things.

In order:
1) Try to just restart your DataStage client. It could just be one of your DataStage admins kicked you out e.g.
2) Try to bounce your DataStage server
3) Check for other things

Is this something that pops up if we don't use datastage for sometime?

You'd have to tell us... does it? Do you have a connection timeout specified for the server? Timeout is enabled by default, so unless someone has changed it you do. Check in Administrator, if you do then you will get disconnected and see error messages much like this after that period of inactivity.

It would help to diagnose these errors generated by helper subroutines (such as DSR_RECORD, DSR_SELECT and so on) if the error message included the other input argument values.

You can get them in a server-side trace, so why not?

Then you could figure out (from DSINCLUDE) what Action 3 is supposed to do, and the other argument values could tell you on which object it was supposed to be acting. This could lead to much more accurate diagnosis and rapid remediation.
