Error occurred during link open process

[kris9999]

Hi everyone,
While running the job we are getting the following two errors:
CopyOfFDM84_88_PROJECT..exp_EMPTY_STRING_FDM: |CopyOfFDM84_88_PROJECT..PS_PROJECT_Ins.exp_PROJECT_INs: DSP.Open GCI $DSP.Open error -100.|

and the second error is:
CopyOfFDM84_88_PROJECT..PS_PROJECT_Ins.exp_PROJECT_INs: DSP.Open GCI $DSP.Open error -100.

Can anyone explain what this error is & how to resolve this.

Welcome aboard. :D

Your request does not give us enough information from which to diagnose. Something, somewhere, is failing to be opened, but you can see that for yourself.

Please describe your job design, in particular the stage types used and which connect to which.

Hi ray,
It goes like this:
Reads data from the source(SQ_PS_PROJECT) into a stage(transformer-exp_EMPTY_STRING_FDM) where string type data are cleansed and will be passed into another transformer(exp_PROJECT) where lookup tables are connected,followed by the target table(PS_PROJECT_Ins). The filtered data is normalized and is passed into another target(error) table.

I don't know what's the actual error is......but you can run the job by giving "array size to 1"

If "exp_EMPTY_STRING_FDM" is a transform stage I would look into that and see what functions you use in there. There is a problem in the GCI (general calling interface) and it might be that it is not finding a routine or program. A bit more information about the names referred in the error messages would be very helpful, telling us what parts are what type of stages.

Hi Kris9999,

Are you using any longvarchar or varchar field within your job?

Hi akhiln,
After making array size=1,the job was finished successfully.But i need to check the data in the target table to know how the data was loaded.

Changing array size to 1 meaning that you are using less buffer space at the time of reading from the database. In other words only one row is read from the database at a time. Meaning more trips to database (for each single row). What was the array size when you were getting that error? If it is too large then it may run out of the memory. (That's what happened for you, may be)
