I have a simple job where text data is being moved to a dataset. The job has 2 stages, a sequential file stage and dataset stage. I can view the data in the sequential file stage. When I run the jobs, I get the following error:
The file identified as '/MyPath/MyFile.ds' is not an ORCHESTRATE Data Set descriptor.
I searched through this forum and found 2 posts. One recommended turning off RCP which I did but it didn't help any.
Thanks to anyone who responds.
Dataset file creation error!

Why not? This is precisely one of the tasks that the Data Set Management utility is intended to perform. Perhaps you do not know how to use it properly?
Did you nominate the Data Set control file in the utility? Was there an error message when attempting to delete the Data Set? If so, what was it?

You mentioned that you manually deleted the child files. I just wanted to point out that you should not use the unix rm to remove any .ds files. Thats just a descriptor file. It needs to be removed using the orchadmin rm command.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Did you specify the pathname of the ".ds" file to the Data Set Management utility?abc123 wrote:I tried to load the dataset using the Dataset Management utility. It was giving an "Unrecognized error". It would then load a blank file. I tried deleting it but it couldn't.
