DataStage handler problem

Dear All,
I got one error in Designer stating "-Controller problem: Unhandled abort encountered in job MappsMDI205ProjectsExtractJob".

The above error occured while job was executing through Designer, the job aborted while running and log is showing this error only. I feel this is some internal DataStage problem but not sure.

One more thing when i re-executed the job , it ran successfully.

Thanks for help in advance.

Hello - I don't think anyone is going to be able to help you with this, at least until it happens again. It is like saying "my car engine wouldn't start last week, but now it's running find. What was the problem?"

Jobs run the same way when started in the Designer, the Director and the command line, so that wouldn't have caused your problem. Next time it happens, try resetting the job and looking at the log entry for "from previous run"

Arndw,
Thanks for you help. Apologies, I got message in the Director log itself not Designer. Only this message is coming after setting environment variable set-ups as per the log.

Is this MappsMDI205ProjectsExtractJob your job which got aborted or this a job which is called by the aborted Sequence or batch.
If so what is the actual error log of the job MappsMDI205ProjectsExtractJob?
By the time when this happen, is that the only job been called?

It's obviously a message from a Sequence job with the 'Automatically handle activities that fail' enabled. MappsMDI205ProjectsExtractJob is a job it was running that aborted and the Sequence decided to handle.

You need to dig into the log of the job that failed to find out why... what you posted isn't an issue, it's the normal functioning of a Sequence job.

Not quite true.

The difference? Jobs run from the Designer default to allowing unlimited warnings, which fools many people into thinking their job 'ran fine' because the links all end up green, while the log may be chock full o' warnings. Run from the Director (or inherit a limit from a Sequence) and it aborts when it hits the warning limit.
