Can someone help with the above error which I am getting while opening Datastage jobs because of which I am loosing Link details in datastage job. This happens very frequently and I have to rework on the code every time. Even if I take backup of code, below error keeps on coming after importing the code.

This is a nasty one.

I ran into it a couple of times on a single job.

Seemed like a corruption of the job metadata somewhere in the repository. Like you, the only way I found to fix it was to manually rebuild the affected stages/links.

I suspected that I triggered a bug when I copied a local container from one job to another job. You wouldn't happen to have been doing something similar would you?

Since you're seeing multiple occurrences in multiple jobs, you should definitely get in touch with your support provider.

I haven't seen the issue since I abandoned copying local containers.
