Hi,
Does anyone know what this warning message means:

Code: Select all

Cannnot read phantom output file SH_84948_14928

This is a production job running every month without any warnings.
Job is using 4 filesets, doing some Transformations, merging using a Funnel, Remove Duplicates then loading in fileset.

Appreaciate your feedback.

Thanks

These two statements are mutually inconsistent.

Every phantom (background process) in DataStage has its stdout and stderr redirected to a file in the &PH& directory; the file name is made up of the verb (command) and the time and date started in DataStage internal format. When the job finishes, any unexpected information is moved from this file to the job log. If the file could not be read for any reason (perhaps still being updated from another node), then this message might obtain.

it appeared that there were too many entries in &PH& folder.
