Strange Error (Unable to determine current working director)

[nagarjuna]

Hello Everyone ,

I am facing a sporadic issue in datastage . Some of our jobs are getting aborted with the below error message :

Internal Error: (0):util/pathutils.C: 373: Unable to determine current working directory! This very likely due to a problem with file permissions on the directory or directories above this point. The error was No such file or directory
Traceback: Could not obtain stack trace; check that 'dbx' and 'sed' are installed and on your PATH

I have searched the forum but didnt get any correct resolution . When I restart the job , sometimes it completed successfully .There are situations where job is successful in 5th attempt .It looks very strange for me .

I have checked the following things also
a) File permissions

b)directory permissions

c)scratch disk and resource disk permissions .

It would be eally helpfull if someone can help me in resolving the same ?

Thanks
Nag

Make sure your PWD environment variable is set, even if it value is "." (current directory).

Hi Ray ,

Let us suppose that i have not set the PWD correctly . Why the job is getting completed successful in the 3rd or 4th attempt sometimes ?

Anyways I checked that the path is correctly set .

Thanks
