Issue with Server Job validation

[dxk9]

Hi,

A server job threw "Abnormal termination of stage transformer_name detected" error in Dev.

We migrated this Server Job from Datastage V7.5.2 to new Datastage v8.5.

Job design is DB2 stage(source) --> Transformer --> DB2 Stage(target) & DB2 Stage (rejects)

It is a direct pass through the Transformer and the rejects from DB2 target are sent to DB2 Rejects.

The job compiles fine, but when I validate, I get the following error without much info:

"Abnormal termination of stage Job001_PROD_CVT_CODS_TO_STG_Modified..LoadSTGTransformer detected"

When I reset the job, I get the following message in log:

From previous run
DataStage Job 7 Phantom 792
Abnormal termination of DataStage.
Fault type is 4. Layer type is BASIC run machine.
Fault occurred in BASIC program DSP.Open at address 528.

can you plz help me with this ?

Regards,
Divya

Server Jobs always have this disadvange , it will never point out to a specific error. Try deleting the transformer and introduce a new transformer.

Tried with a new transformer, but it didn't help

Try to re-create the job from scratch and validate it to check whether job validation in 8.5 is working fine or not.

Do this first and post the outcome.

I beg to differ on general principal, never mind the fact that they posted a very specific error. If you search the forum for "Fault type is 4" you'll find that it is a SIGILL (illegal instruction signal) and that you should contact your official support provider for help.

Please make sure you return and let us know what the resolution is!

Is this resolved?

[dxk9]

No. The problem still exists while Validating

But the confusing part is, the job RUNS fine if we skip VALIDATING part.
