Datastage 9.1 Error- Cannot resolve hostname

skathaitrooney · Post by **skathaitrooney** » Wed Feb 04, 2015 5:18 am

Each day my job runs just fine. But one particular day when this same job ran with the same configurations the following error popped up:

Error Message: main_program: ERROR: gethostbyname(compute2.mycompany.net) returned null; node Compute1 cannot be used.
main_program: APT_PMaddrInfoFor(): getaddrinfo(host = prodenv, port = ) failed with error -3 - Temporary failure in name resolution: node prodenv cannot be used

After 10 or 15 mins, the job ran fine using the same config file.

Can anybody help me with this error?

Thanks Arvind!!

I followed the tech note earlier but i was basically interested in knowing why for just between a short time window the hostname did not get resolved?
