Parallel job reports failure

[praj]

Hi All,

I am facing a strange error, which is aborting my jobs. The log file shows
"Parallel job reports failure (code Internal error - missing script file RT_SC35/OshExecuter.sh)"

I am running few jobs in sequence and sometimes this error occurs and job aborts. If you rerun the job again it works. This is totally random, once in ten goes the job aborts with this error message in log file.

Has anybody faced such problem?

Thanks,
Praj

What does OshExecuter.sh does ?

I just got this using Parallel Extender v7.1, and am also puzzled.
So I thought I'd add a note, to make this topic "current".
praj, let me know if you've found a solution.
Thanks,

Have you try to enable multiple instance?

What version of DataStage do you have, specifically? If you are using something like 6.0r3, it is strongly recommend that you upgrade to the latest 6.x version (6.0.3 plus patches, I believe. Contact Ascential Support or use eService web page.) This sounds like one of those mysterious compiler behavior that are fixed with a variety of patches.

Also, please verify that your mountpoint are not out of space. RT_SC35 are located under your $DSHOME/../Projects/[specific project] folder.

CYH also made a great suggestion -- if you are attempting to run the same job at the same time, this error would occurs if you do not enable multiple instances. However, I do not know which versions support this feature (I could have sworn that it's a 7.x feature.)

Please note for 6.x, Parallel Extender is actually a version 1.0. Ascential do recommend that you upgrade to 7.x (7.5A or 7.5.1 preferred). With added capabilities, modest performance boost (removal of bottlenecks here and there), and better stability, it is far better than sticking at 6.x.

What does OshExecuter.sh does ?

It execute the actual job.

I do recommend that you take a look around with your favorite editor under the Projects folder, especially the RT_SC*** directory -- source code directory. Just do not save any changes you may have make (under vi, always do a ":q!" to quit.) It is a fascinating read, and help you learn how the engine (Orchestrate - which OSH is short for) works.

RT_SC35 are located under your $DSHOME/../Projects/[specific project] folder.

This is only true if you install your project in the default location (as a sub-directory of $DSHOME/../Projects). There is no requirement to do so; you can install your project directory on any local file system except the root file system.
The RT_SCnn sub-directories (where nn is the job number - search the forum for DS_JOBS) are within your project directory wherever it is.

Ascential supported confirmed that this intermittent problem would be fixed by upgrading our 7.1 software to 7.1r2. HTH.

Any reason why this thread should not be moved to the PX forum?

None whatsoever.
