View Data is not happening for a sequential file

sumesh.abraham · Post by **sumesh.abraham** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:10 am

Hi All,

I installed DataStage Enterprise Edition 7.5.2 on my PC. Do I need any setup before designing a job. I created a job which has 2 sequential files for read/write and a transformer for simple mapping. When I try view data on the sequential file, I got an error as
Error executing view data command: #F TFCF000014 00:45:21(005) <main_program> Fatal error;Configuration does not contain the invoking node Sumesh
(Here Sumesh is the name of the host system).

I would appreciate if anyone can let me know the issue.

Thanks,
Sumesh

Edit your configuration file to have the fastname as Sumesh.

Balaji,

Thanks for the reply. I'm new to PX. Could you please let me know where can I find the configuration file? Will there be an entry for fastname?

Thanks,
Sumesh

In the Manager client there is a tool in the Tools menu for managing Configurations.

Read about configurations and how to use this tool in the Manager Guide manual.

Read chapter 58 "Parallel Engine Configuration file" in parallel job developer's guide and post if you have any queries.

Hi,

I've created the configuration file with the fastname as Sumesh. I edited the environment variable APT_CONFIG_FILE and specified the correct .apt file. When I click the Check button available in Configurations in Manager, the following text is displayed.

<main_program> Sumesh -
<main_program> rsh issued,no response received
<main_program>Unable to contact one or more section Leaders
probable configuration problem;contact Orchestrate system administrator<main_program>
<main_program>step execution finished with status=FAILED
<main_program>
ERROR: Check configuration file failed.

So when I click the view data button for the sequential file, error is displayed as
Error Executing View Data command
##E TFPM..... <main_program> Accept timed out retires=4

I would appreciate any help on resolving this issue.

Thanks,
Sumesh

Your configuration file is still not right. Did you change every fastname to the node name Sumesh? And it that in fact the name by which the machine is known on the network? It might help if you were to post your configuration file default.apt

Hi Ray,

I copied the contents of configuration file for default and replaced the fastname as Sumesh. The modified content was pasted as the configuration text for the configuration by name Sumesh. That's all. The fastname specified is exactly the same as the computer name. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I can't know if you're wrong without seeing default.apt
