Post by dspxguy »

we are having difficulties loading to DB2 .

seq file --DB2

The error message is

DB2load,6: Failed to prepare buffer for writing record #3265. Reason: write() failed: Broken pipe

DB2load,6: The runLocally() of the operator failed.

any help is appreciated.
thanks

I've seen the same problem when doing loads into Oracle. The "broken pipe" message usually comes up when Oracle's SQL*Loader has problems doing its work (a full tablespace, for example).

I would imagine that the DB2 equivalent is having similar problem during the load in your case.

To troubleshoot the specific cause, I look in the directories that we've set up for parallel scratch space. Oracle SQL*Loader control and log files will be in that directory. DB2 log files will probably be in the same place. Try taking a look there. The log file may give you an indication of what went wrong.
