PID Failed

[kommven]

Job shows PID Failed.
However was running very fine until a week before when we last ran it.

Tried all of the following, nothing works:
1. Cleared &PH& Directory
2. Unlock user on TCL. (This clears locks indeed but locks are created again on job run)
3.Deleted and redeployed job from version control
4. Ran ds.reindex
5 Ran DS.Checker
6. Stopped and Restarted DataStage Server.

Important to note is that the job runs perfect by itself but shows this error when called from a sequence.
Also shows this log message:
From previous run
DataStage Job 1085 Phantom 14706

Help Appreciated.

Is it called with exactly the same parameters from the sequence? Is it a multi-instance job and is it called up with an instance name?

[kommven]

Yes it is called wth the same parameters.
Tried calling the sequence for different parameter sets but still aborts for the same job for the same error.
Most of the Job parameters are PROJDEF.

Also the job is not a multiple instance job.

The error message from DSD.RUN looks like it comes from a "reset" of a job sequence, not a Parallel job, ist that right? Or is this the log of the aborted PX job?

[kommven]

Thats Right, DSD Run appears when the sequence resets the job prior to running it.
