Yes, I thought it might show internal hashed file errors.

The quickest solution with the highest chance of 100% recovery is to do a full project export, delete the corrupted project, re-create it & load in the jobs. If you cannot do this then we can go about looking for the cause, but we've touched upon the most common causes already so it might take a while to diagnose & correct.

I agree with you: it might be the easiest way to recreate the project. But I have to discuss that with our developers. I will let you know which way we went. Many thanks for your help so far.

I executed the command "DS.CHECKER" and it seems like that this repaired/solved the problem. When going through this forum I found an entry which suggested to run "DS.CHECKER" - therefore I decided to do this (even if I don't know anything about "DS.CHECKER").
Are these commands (DS.CHECKER, DS.REINDEX, ...) documented anywhere?

No. At least nowhere that I've looked.

(Well, that's not entirely true - they are documented in my DataStage Administration class - though not, curiously, in IBM's Administering DataStage class.)

Any change to get some further information from your documentation :roll: ?

Only by taking the class, I'm afraid.

Maybe, in future, it will be made available through DSXchange Learning Center, but those arrangements are not yet in place.

I wouldn't mind coming to Australia and taking the class :wink:
But many thanks anyway for helping with my issue!
