Surrogate Stage causing job to hang

Post by rohanf »

Hi,

I am facing a strange issue. When we run the job(having the surrogate stage) in a sequencer the job and the sequencer hangs.

When we open the job and view performance stats, All records seem to stop at the surrogate stage and 0 records moving out of the stage.

However when we abort the re-startable sequence and restart the sequence , the job runs fine the second time.

I don't know what more info to provide.

Thanks & Regards
Rohan

Rohan - For starters, you could post any error that appears when you re-set the job.
Also, post the settings inside the surrogate key generator stage (if you are using one) and the general job design.

Rohan,

Any update on the above issue? Were you able to fix it?
I am possibly having a similar issue, where my jobs with Surrogate key generator stages are hanging intermittently.

2 or 3 times they run fine and then they hang, on killing them and restart they get done in a minute. We are on DS 8.5 on linux.
Thanks & Regards
