Error in 'open()' - Permission denied

[abby]

Hi,

I'm executing a job on DS 7.5 migrated from DS 7.1.

Issue : One particular job is unable to load the data from a file kept at some specific path. The file has got the required access permissions.

However, the file data can be viewed from the Designer by specifying the file name and the same path. But when the same job is executed to load the file data from the command prompt or the Director the following error message is displayed :

ds_seqopen() - error in 'open()' - Permission denied

Also, a different job executes successfully to load file data from another file kept at the same path and no issues encountered with its execution in any way.

Please advise me to resolve the above mentioned issue.

Regards - Abby.

Abby,

the error message ds_seqopen() - error in 'open()' - Permission denied quite clearly means that the process does not have sufficient permission (either r or rw). Remember that the user process running the DataStage job might be different from your user.
