Hash file issue

Post by Xpert »

Hi,

Please find the below error message which i got from one of the datastage job. Help me. Could some one tell me, what would be the root cause for this error?

J_Strip_Funding..Hashed_File_31.IDENT4: ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 3 with name "_SYSSMU3$" too small
With regards,

This is not a hashed file issue. It is an issue with your Oracle query. The ORAnnnn form of the error message code indicates that this is so. There are several possible causes of "snapshot too old": enlist your DBA to help to track down why yours is occurring.

The message is being generated by an "invisible" Transformer stage called IDENT4 which DataStage compiler has inserted between the two passive stages (Hashed File stage and Oracle stage) that you have connected directly with a link in your job design.

As noted, most solutions to this problem involve your DBA.
