Job continues to run but stops processing

[kmoorer]

We are converting from version 7.5.2 to 8.5.
We have exported all jobs from 7.5.2, imported into 8.5 & compiled.

Let's preface that this job is in production in version 7.5.2 with no problems.

The job in question reads 3 sequential files each with a transform
then into a join (left outer).
Each file has a sort on the link going into the join with all 3 files go into a join.

This join is a left outter. About 7 million rows.

One link is 3 million, the other 2 links 2million each.

The job starts fine and gets to a certain point and just stops. It doesn't abort, it just doesn't do anything. We let it run overnight with no progress.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hello,
you have made any change in tables (database) without commit?

[kmoorer]

No changes to anything.
Just exported from 7.5.2, imported into 8.5,
compiled and started testing pointing to same database & tables.

What sort of Warning messages have you found in the Director output? It may be from our style of error handling but I've sometimes found important information in Info messages near the otherwise ambiguous Warning messages.
