"Pin 1 not initialized" error

Hello, I have a problem with a server job

The log in Director is:

Info - Read_FLAG_SCARICO: Set NLS locale to US-ENGLISH,US-ENGLISH,US-ENGLISH,US-ENGLISH,US-ENGLISH
Info - Read_FLAG_SCARICO..TRX: DSD.StageRun Active stage starting, tracemode = 0.

Warning - Read_FLAG_SCARICO..TRX: Pin 1 not initialized
Warning - Read_FLAG_SCARICO..TRX.To_TRX: DSP.Close Error -100 in $DSP.Abort.

The job design is:

OCI ---> Transformer --> Sequential File

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

Never came across this warning 'Pin 1 not initialized'.Maybe an 'application column name'

What is your OCI stage name? Has this job ever run and/or have any OCI-reading jobs run in this installation? Have you tried recompiling the job?

OCI stage name is D_STG_LOG_STATUS_GLOBALE

All other server reading jobs fail in this installation with the same error!

I have recompiled the job but anything has changed

*All* Jobs? Or just ones that have a certain stage type?

All server jobs (there are only 4 server job in the project).

However, these server jobs run correctly on another machine

Pin 1 is probably the output from the Transformer stage. Is there a problem opening the file mentioned in the Sequential File stage?

I have seen this caused by people manually editing the DSParams file to insert environment variables. Apparently at 8.1 this is just not safe to do anymore, it causes a corrupted project and the server jobs abort with the "Pin 1 not initialized" error.

Did someone manually edit DSParams to setup the new project?

Hi
We have/had the issue with our new projects on Oracle.
It's related to a link between the database and Ds.

Ok - basically same issue (corrupted project), different cause then.

If you have access to customer support this is time to call them and have them run you through the procedures to recover from a corrupted project.

If you don't have access to customer support, the safest thing to do is to create a new project, dump all your jobs, routines, table definitions, etc. to a large dsx file and then load it into the new project (after you setup environment variables etc). This isn't trivial, but it is the safest way to get rid of the corruption.

Andy,

You need to sometimes manually edit the dsparams file
e.g to set the RTLOGGING

I understand, I was referring to inserting environment variables into the DSParams.

There is an IBM APAR that addresses this. Please read below for "JR33952: DS STAGETYPES NOT POPULATED TO UV RESPOSITORY WHEN IMPORTING DSXPROJECTS."

APAR statusClosed as program error.
Error descriptionWhen importing dsx project into Information Server 8.1, the DS
Stagetypes records for the project are imported into XMeta. But
these stagetypes records are not copied to the UV repository.
So, if customer imports the compiled job and tries to run the
job, they get a "pin initialization error". Customer has to
recompile their job or open the stagetype in DS Designer for
that record to be copied over.

Local fix1/ Recompile the job
2/ Open the stagetypes in DS Designer.

RECOMMENDATION:
patch_JR33952_client_windows introduces a new client program
(DSStageTypeUpdater.exe) that can be used to ensure that all
Stage Types which are installed for a project are provisioned
to the server in one command.
This fix is included in 8.1 FP1
****************************************************************

Problem conclusion:
If the job design is compiled, or the missing stage is opened
in the Designer, the equired Stage Type record will be
automatically provisioned onto the server. This will remove
