Hi Team,

All production jobs started failing suddenly with below error in Datastage 8.7.

Error: "Could not connect to datasourceCommunication link failure".
Database : Netezza database 6.0.5

Before 1 hour all jobs were running fine.

Can anyone help us on this??

Thanks in advance!!!!

No idea but assuming you've checked to ensure that the database in question is actually up, then perhaps a network issue? And is this really "all jobs" regardless of what they do or only all jobs that source/target Netezza?

Check that the Netezza appliance is running, not quiesced, and that there is a network path available.
