Error writing named pipe

[ml]

Hi all,
I get this fatal error "Error writing named pipe: There is no process to read data written to a pipe." I couldn't found this error posted; anybody faced something like this?

The job is quite simple, just DB2-->TRF-->BW, and runs everyday (around 100k rows), few days ago the job stuck in +/- 89.000 rows and after 25 minutes, shows this fatal message:

Item #: 74

Message: Jobname..T1: Error writing named pipe: There is no process to read data written to a pipe.

PS: To solve it I reseted the job and restarted the RFC connection.
PS2: real names were changed to protect the inoccent.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like after 30 minutes the remote connection either timed out or was terminated. A named pipe always needs 2 processes to work, a reader and a writer; and it looks like the remote reader process from BW didn't read this past time. If things are working since then, then it was probably some sort of a one-off error, if it is repeatable then a bit more information is needed on the BW environment to see what the cause might be.
