heap size limit

Post by srikanthd1978 »

does anyone know what the following error means.. I am trying to read a file from Mianfram system which has been put onto my Unix .. i have the CFD plugged into the Seq file stage and am trying to view the data.. the complex clmns are flattenned out..

'The current soft limit on the data segment (heap) size (2147483645) is less than the hard limit (2147483647), consider increasing the heap size limit'

Talk to your system administrators... it's a setup "problem" they can fix.

You'd have to be dead unlucky to hit a problem in the last two bytes of a data segment!

However, DataStage pre-checks that you can allocate the entire space and, when it encounters the discrepancy, you get that message. Looks like it's not allowing for some kind of two-byte "magic number" in the segment header.

Report this to support, and let us know the outcome.

We had a job getting this error. Developer re wrote their new SQL statement in a lookup stage to fix the problem. Maybe they had a mis matched pareenthesis or something. Don't know.
