Hello Everyone;

I'm getting a following error:

"ds_ipcgetnext - timeout waiting for mutex"

I have big jobs using 11gig file; reading 4million records, doing lookups and transformation. 1st time it error out after processing 3.7 million records and on 2nd time after 2.7 million records. I'm sure my file is correct, there is some problem with DataStage. Plus, I have about 67gib of free disk space available.

Anyone know, what this error means??

Hardware: HP 11i 4CPU, 4GIG RAM
DStage ver: 6.03r

Hi Rahim,

did you enable row buffer in your job or did you use IPC-Stage or LinkPartitioner/Collector?

At first you could increase the timeout time in the performance tab of your job.

The error means, that the job couldn't get the exclusive access of the used shared memory segment in the specified timeout time to get the next data.
