Phantom is the name asociated with DS job processes.
So your simply getting an error in your job's process.

you might want to expand regarding any particular issue your experiancing for more specific answers.

Hi Rajasekhar,

you can track the phantom in the PH file. Also when you reset the job in Director you get the line "From previous run" with more detail.

Phantom is a process in DataStage and DataStage executes your job design as number of processes. So Phantom error occurs if any of the processes in a job failed.

When your executable job has commands that cannot be performed or variables not initialised, you may have phantom errors.

You may also have phantom errors which are serious to cause failure of the whole process.
