Phantom - Internal file corruption

Post by cfuller »

Hi

During the production run last night one of the jobs finished with the following warning -

DataStage Job 61 Phantom 23353
Program "DSD.StageRun": Line 571, Read operation failure. Program "DSD.StageRun": Line 571, Internal file corruption detected. File must be repaired.
DataStage Phantom Finished

The job itself seem to complete and the data seems to be OK, and the rest of the job stream ran without incident.

My questions are

1) what is this message trying to tell me
2) which file is corrupted
3) should I redeploy the code to the production server to fix this, or just recompile
4) has my production project become corrupt, and need rebuilding.
5) or is there something more sinister that I need to be aware of

Any help appreciated.
Regards
Chris Fuller

Hmmm. The internal file corruption suggests one of the files the job uses had an internal problem. My guess is maybe your project had a disk space issue on its file system while the job was running. The problem could be in the RT_CONFIG, RT_STATUS, or RT_LOG file associated to the job. The easiest way to fix any issue is to export/re-import the job, which creates a whole new set of files because the job gets a new job number assigned.

Hi Kenneth

Just checked with the Unix Admin who told me that the SAN swapped a disk out at about that same time. Looks like all is now OK.

Thanks for the prompt response.
