Hi,

I am using the routine "UtilityRunJob" within a basic transformer in a parallel job in version 8.1.
I am referring to the routine this way:
UtilityRunJob ( 'JobOD0040B', 'PAR_DATA_MOV_ABERTO =': lnk_02.DATA_MOV_ABERTO_OD: '| SISTEMAS_DATA_EM =': lnk_02.SISTEMAS_DATA_EM, 0, 0)

The job where the basic bransformer is, run normally, however, the job JobOD0040B aborts always with these messages in the log:
"Job control process (pid 34664) has failed"
"Job aborted JobOD0040B"
Changing only the number of pid.

Thank you!

Marcelo,

I would set the basic transfomer to execute sequentially or used a single node config file...or you will be executing the job multiple time as many as your $APT_CONFIG_FILE,

If you really need to execute the 'child' dependent job multiple times then make it multiple instance ...

Have fun ...

Rodriguez,

In fact, the job JobOD0040B runs only once, as the parent job will generate only one record.
The goal is to pass the result as a parameter for the job JobOD0040B.
The transformer is running sequentially.

Thank you!

I'm curious why you are not using a Sequence job for this?

chulett ,

The value I need to pass as a parameter is the result of an SQL query.
To get this result through a sequence would need to write the output into a file and create a routine to read this file in sequence and pass the value as a parameter.
However, I can not write temporary files on the machine.

Thank you!

Marcelo,

How about using a sequence and two jobs. The first one, a server job extracts the value using your SQL and place it in the job's user status area. The second job activity (obOD0040B) will have the previous job user status available to be pass as a parameter value

Search the forum for other poster on this. I rather prefer this method because is more clean


Thanks,

Julio

Exactly... check into the USERSTATUS functionality to pass informaiton between jobs without 'landing' it.

I created a test and worked properly when I used the routine changing the $ UserStatus within a server job.

However, I need to do this in a basic transformer inserted in a parallel job. This way is not working, the value is not assigned to the variable $ UserStatus.

Thank you,

There is no way you can read or write userstatus in a parallel job. That has beed clarified througly.

Why?
If there's only one record then a server job will be far more efficient.
And then you can use UtilityRunJob properly.
