Unable to open file error

[Poornagirija]

Hi Folks, :D

We have a job which is taking xml input and giving .txt output.

The job desing is like

folder--->xmlinput--->xfm--->fileoutput


we have defined parameters for file path for that job.When we tried to run the job its giving following error
unable to open the path

We have checked the path its correct!
We tried to change from parameters to default values still no luck.
We have permission as we tried running through dsadmin.

we have only executable available in test environment but not the design.but its running fine in test environment.

we tried to import and export the executable and tried to run the job but the same error is coming.

Im scared whether the job has corrupted in anyway as it was last run on jun2006 and now we are trying to run it again.
We need to recover the original code with the design.

Can anyone please help me in getting that!
Thanks in advance
:D

Please post the complete error(s) from the job's log regarding the file error.

We need to recover the original code with the design.

Recover? Either you have it or you don't. What about in your development environment or in Version Control? Exports of the project you've archived somewhere?

Erro is:
"DSD.UVOpen Unable to open folder /xxx/...../xxx"

FYI
The same job is running fine when i tried to mv the input file to some other folder..
is that a permission issue??

If you are certain that it exists, then yes I would assume a permissions issue.

Check the permissions for every directory on the path. Make sure that every directory and the basename are both spelled and cased correctly.

The 'other folder' that you are referring to, is it on the Test enviroment that you specified where the job (executable) that runs fine?
If the job work from root and not from any particular direcory, hust to check the permission releated issues a specified, move your file to immediate parent directory and check, if it doest work out, move to another level up. Till you find out the folder where th actual permission is lacking.
And BTW, you cannot create a desing from an executable.

Hi Friends,
Thanks for all your suggestions.

Actually the problem is with the directory(folder).It got corrupted due to some reason on unix dev box(dont know why:roll: ).

so we created a newfolder previous one renamed and its working fine now.

Thanks!! :D

Check what is the difference for the new and existing folders interms of permissions.
Renaming the existing folder to a new one will always retain the existing previlages unless altered specifically.
Or could be even due to some character that persent in Unix min interpreted by Datastage.
