Non-pipe (or non-virtual data set) with .v in its name

thebird · Post by **thebird** » Fri Nov 25, 2005 3:05 pm

Hi,

We are frequently getting the below fatal error in our team -

main_program: Data set, file set, or file "ProcessFlagCheck:ProcessFlagUAndD.v": Non-pipe (or non-virtual data set) with .v in its name

Since many of us have started getting this error, and all of it seems to have started one fine day, I somehow feel that this is related to the memory in some manner, but I am not sure. But now I am also getting the RT_CONFIG error, which makes my belief stronger that this issue is realted to memory.

I had gone through each stage carefully, according to some of the resolutions that I had seen in this forum, but I am still unable to sort this out. I am also not sure why this is happening.

Can somebody help me out on this.

Regards,

The Bird.

Hi,

I forgot to mention the stage where this error was pointed to, in the above post. The "ProcessFlagCheck" stage is a transformer, and "ProcessFlagUAndD" is the output link to an Oracle Enterprise stage.

I am only doing a DateFromDaysSince function in this transformer, and then passing the input fields to the target table.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

regards,

The Bird.

You should be able to search for the key words in the error as it has been discussed here before - this being one such example.

I did search on this forum, but didn't find any solution to this. I am pasting the generated osh for this below -

# End of OSH code

As this error has been coming quite frequently across multiple jobs and users, I am wondering if this could be an issue within the DataStage server, may be because of some memory issues. I am also getting an RT_CONFIG error sometimes, as mention in the post here -
viewtopic.php?t=96848

This makes me believe more that the issue is not related to the job design.

Regards,

The Bird.

The RT_CONFIGnnn table contains the runtime version of the job design. I suggest you solve that first, as per the other thread. The error that is the subject of this thread may then magically vanish.

Thanks Ray!!!

As you said this error has magically vanished, but I had to delete the current link (on which the error was shown) and replace it with a new link, for this to happen.

And as for the RT_CONFIGnnn table issue, I believe this was indeed a memory issue (as Craig suggested in the other thread). The DataStage Admin ran some utilities on the DS Repository, to sort this out, but I am still not sure if that would solve the problem entirely.

The Bird.
