Input File for dataset not found

Post by pragb »

Hi All,
I am having an issue in a parallel job,The job design is as follows.

Table--Lookup---Target.

My reference for lookup is Dataset.

Now I can view the data in the dataset,and I am having r-w-x permission for the same.

But when i am running the job I am getting the following error.

Data set initialization for "path/dataset name
": This input-file data set does not exist: path/dataset name
I have searched in this forum for the same,but I couldn't find any solution for this.

Please help.

if you can do a view data successfully but when you run the job it says "dataset not found" most probably the parameters might be the cause.

Check the values for the path parameter when the job has run from director if its the same you are using for a "view data"

A quick question ,
1) I think in of the job ur using the dataset as target are you able to see data in that file.

2) If yes, try to copy and paste the path in the place where you are using the dataset , if it doesnt work.

If you are using in the dev, try to delete the dataset and reload the file.
Some time it will work.

All the best and let me know if you need any thing.

In addition to parameters mentioned above, do you run the job with a different userid than you view it with (common when jobs are submitted by external processes)? If so, one possibility is file permissions.

Can it be because of a different config file?
