Error during compile-time of a Job PX

Post by Umberto »

Good morning to everybody

I have developed a PX Job, with DataStage 7.5.2 installed locally on my notebook (windows XP SP2), reading a flat file and writing the data in an another flat file. I use only a Trasformer stage mapping the input fields in the output one without any type of trasformation. The compile returns the following message:

"Error when checking composite operator subprocess. Command failed with exit status 256".

May anybody explain to me the meaning of this message?

Thank you very much

Welcome aboard! :D

You do know that your version will not run PX jobs, yes? Develop yes, run no - that takes 7.5x2 or 8.x. And that XP is not supported as a Server platform?

That being said, search the forums for your error message. Also, there's never just one lovely little line from a PX compile - there's a ton. Post them. And let us know what compiler you have installed.

Hello Umberto,

I got the same error message on Windows 2003 Standard Edition. And I searched DSXchange - the error is 'common' on Unix platform as well.

I have tried setting PWD and some APT_ environment variables.
Nothing changed. I am not able to compile a stage containing Transformer.
I also tested DataStage on AIX 5.3 and it works fine.

BUT DataStage Enterprise Edition should not be installed on Windows XP as it is not server system (Win2000/2003 server is recommended).

I would recommend to you to change the operating system first - leave WinXP.

With common problem,

Do you have C++ compiler installed on your notebook? Also check LIBPATH and PATH variables in DataStage Administrator to verify you have included C++ lib path and bin directories.
Assume everything I say or do is positive

Hi Umberto,
Your problem can easily solved.
1. proper C++ compiler is not available in your system.
2.Yes it works on WINDOWS XP also.So don't bother about OS of the machine.
3. For compatibility of 7.5 PX you need VS2003 version.
Note you have to install VS 2003 in same drive you install DS server.
4.restart your system.
5.the transformer stage definitely work.

Best of luck.
