Hi Folks,

One of our jobs failed in production last night, and the director log mentions that an abort was raised in a hashed file stage.

In Windows, the directory specific to the hashed file in question contains over 500K objects, each of which seems related to a specific record. I've never seen this type of behaviour before. Any ideas about what's going on?

Thanks!

Sure. Dynamic hashed file gets 'corrupted', typically resulting in the lose of the .Type30 file. Result is it suddenly becomes a Type 19 (I believe) - one in which each record becomes a separate file.

Delete the directory and it should 'rebuild' fine. Happens sometimes when using the 'Delete' option.

Thanks Craig. Would we need to delete the D_ file as well as the directory, or just the directory?

Just the directory would suffice. Doing both wouldn't hurt.
