DSXchange

Hi All,

Off late we have started experience the following error message when just creating a smiple Job in some Projects:

*************************************************************
Error while creating job Sample
Error on CREATE.FILE command (Creating file "RT_CONFIG22" as Type
30.mkdbfile: error initializing file.Unable to create operating
system file "RT_CONFIG22".*** Processing cannot continue. ***)

*************************************************************

Similiar kind of messages (with a different Number) when we try to run or complie the existing Jobs.

I guess the DS files have been Corrupt or there are permission issues, I have checked the permissions on the DS files and everything is as required.

Please advise on what are the steps to be adopted to overcome such kind of errors.

Any help would highly be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards
Mahesh

Did you move the project to a different structure or use a different user name to work this DataStage?

Hi Sainath,

Nops, The Project was not moved as such, and The project was created by granting permissions for a specific set of users who are going to use work on the Project.


Thanks & Regards

Was there a change in the Unix group to which the users are allocated? Can you log into Unix as the corresponding user and try to create a file and directory under the corresponding project folder?

You cannot grant permission to a user. These users all need their default group to be the same group like dsdev. This group usually is the same as dsadm.

If you try to keep multiple groups then it will always be a manual process.

Hi All,

There was no change to the group done or to any users, as Kim said nothing has been done. The Projects were working fine all off sudden we started facing this issue.

Thanks & Regards

I would make sure all the files are owned by the same group. Do a chown. Make sure your umask is set in dsenv and in the uv.rc in the start up script.

Have you had disk full condition in the project directory's file system?

Hi All,

I have checked the Permissions, the Owners and the Group there is not change at all.

I have also checked for the disk space on the box there was enough space. there are couple of projects which use DS on the same Box.

Thanks again for all your valuable suggestions.

Thanks & Regards

In that case, can you take a full export of the project and perform a 'cleanup' of this project from DataStage Administrator.

Hi All,

Thanks you for your valuable suggestions, As we were not able to do an export , We have done the necessary clean up now and imported the previous back up taken and seems to be fine.

Thanks & Regards
