Sort Stage Fatal Error.....

Post by enigmatic28 »

Hi,

I would just like to ask if why the Sort Stage in the parallel job suddenly returns this fatal error...
Operator terminated abnormally: runLocally did not return APT_StatusOk
What does it mean and what is needed to fix it?

Thanks...

Firstly do a search on the full error message. Are there any other warnings/errors in the log?
Ping me if I am wrong...

In particular, how do you know it's the Sort stage? Please post full error message from the job log (copy/paste), and any others that may have occurred.

Hi,

The other fatal error found is this one:

Hi, Here is the job log:

Since the error was srtClaims,0: Operator terminated abnormally: runLocally did not return APT_StatusOk, and srtClaims is the name of the sort stage, i assumed that it was the sort stage that is at fault...

OK, it's the Sort stage srcClaims, and the problem has occurred on node numbers 0,1,2 and 3. This suggests that there's something wrong with how the Sort stage is set up - something that is syntactically correct (so the job compiles) but which the tsort operator can not manage. Can you thoroughly investigate what you've done with your Sort stage? Also, did you run out of scratch space while the sort was running? And is the error reproducible?
