DataStage Job 13651 Phantom 4114

mavrick21 · Post by **mavrick21** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:55 pm

Hello,

After searching DSXchange extensively and not finding an answer I'm posting this thread.

We have a master Sequence (say MS) which calls five child Sequences (say A through E). Each child sequence calls a job which has a source DRS stage, a Transformer looking up to a Hashed file and a target DRS stage.

We get this warning in MS log after A through E have finished fine. Below is the entire message in the warning. There's just one warning and no errors.

We get this warning in random master Sequences at random times.

We can't find any uninitialized Stage Variables in any of the Tansformers.

All of our environmental variables have '/' ( and not '\')

Running uv "VLIST DSD_BP DSD_RUN.B" gives the below output (14 lines before and after). The first column is line number from vi.

This has to be a bug. DSD.RUN is one of "theirs". dyn_replace assigns a value to an element of a dynamic array. The code should be loading the value 11 into field 2 of the dynamic array called JOB.

Involve your official support provider. It may be that a vital run time option has been omitted from your job run request, but there's not enough information in your post to ascertain that.

Thanks Ray. We'll contact our provider and let the forum know of any updates.

Patch patch_JR34279_server_redhat_752 was recently provided to us and this seems have taken care of the issue.
