First question is always going to be - did you search here for that message? Did none of the matches found help you out?

Broken pipe is when one stage fails in a link which either produces or consumes data.

This is generally accompanied by an abort on a stage.

Is there any more error message available in your logs ?

You might have lost network connectivity to the databases / datastage/ file server during the course of the job run.

Hi Sainath,
Yes, that was the reason. I was looking for it, actually the job was failing due to a error in one of the transformers, when trying to convert StringToDecimal and eventually was resulting into Broken Pipe error message, but the log never said "error converting Decimal_from_string" or anything.

Thanks for your help!
