Did you ever get to the bottom of this? We've randomly hit it a couple of times now.

We are on a relatively underpowered machine and this error is being raised when we attempt to kick off 6 jobs at the same time (while 4 sequence jobs are already running), anyone had a similar occurence?

As you are suspecting, it is probably a resource issue. Are there any other warnings logged when you see this?

After a reset we get:

Code: Select all

DataStage Job 7 Phantom 29745
Job Aborted after Fatal Error logged.
Program "DSD.WriteLog": Line 315, Abort.
Attempting to Cleanup after ABORT raised in job 

DataStage Phantom Aborting with @ABORT.CODE = 1

is that stating DSD.WriteLog is failing?

A search in DSXchange for DSD.WriteLog points to similar issues and since we're due to be going on to a better spec'ed server soon I guess that will be our first port of call...

Will try some other tricks should the new machine have problems.
