Job Execution Error

Post by yiminghu »

Hi,

I have a very strange error happening during my job execution.

The error message is look like this:

DataStage Job 2157 Phantom 24831
Unable to open "/dstemp/capture57472aa" file.
Attempting to Cleanup after ABORT raised in stage

I had similar problem before, and I increased uvtemp directory to 5GB (/dstemp is the folder used by uvtemp), it was fine in the past several months, now the problem occured again.

Is there anyway to prevent this happening again?

Thanks,

Carol

Just regular maintenance to make sure it never fills (we broadcast any "disk 75% full" alarm to all DataStage developers every 15 minutes!) and ensure that any likely user has write permission.

The UVTEMP directory can be used for lots of things, but should in general have any temporary files deleted automatically. When jobs abort this does not occur, so periodically deleting anything more than a day or two old is probably a good idea.
For example:

Code: Select all

find /dstemp -atime +2 -exec rm {} \;
