Hi,

I was running a job and it aborted halfway.

I tried to run the job again but it didnot run atall. This job was running sucessfully before. I just added 1 extra column this time.

When I tried to run the job status in director I got error:

Error selecting from log file RT_LOG10197
Command was: SSELECT RT_LOG10197 WITH @ID LIKE '1NON'COUNT
Error was Internaldata error. File
'/apps/ascential/Ascential/Datastage/Projects/LA
Computed blink of 0x830 doesnot match expected blink of 0x0! Detected
at address 0x29800!

I have no clue about this. Please help.

Regards,
Arnie.

I hope the log file is corrupted, you can clear the log file , by executing the command, from the administrator command prompt.
This will clear the Auto Purge settings of that job, so please set it again.

Thanks...

Well I took a copy and ran that....it ran successfuly.

But the original log remains corrupted, a trap for others, until that situation is remedied.

Right... that mention of a 'Computed blink' means corruption, typically from a massive amount of entries pushing it over the 32bit addressing 2GB barrier. It needs to be addressed.

I had the same issue.
Log clearing didn't help.

I saved the job under the new name and then it worked.

If the corruption is bad enough the log clearing won't fix it. The easiest fix in that case is to make a copy, delete original.

This 'log clearing', are we talking about CLEAR.FILE or from the Director? What I assume we've been discussing here is the former here and I've never seen corruption that it didn't 'correct'... maybe just got lucky.
