I am getting the below warnings, any idea what is this?

buffer(2),0: APT_BufferOperator warning: currentWriteTime <= lastWriteTime, 1254870770.10021 1254870770.47596

Hint...: - The Job actually runs 12 hrs, which is correct according to the estimate.

Is this because of space issue?

"Hint"? It looks like the millisecond values aren't being returned correctly in this one case, or does this error refer to 2 entries spaced (just a bit more than) 12 hours apart?

Actually you are right, the job actually took 14 Hrs, just now i checked.
Is there anything i can do to avoid this warning?

After how long does this error message occur, before or after the first 12 hours?

Actually this warning appears after 2 Hrs itself.(i.e from the moment you start the job)

So that would cancel out a problem with some 12-hour overflow occuring, it is just a timing event. The millisecond values retrieved from some UNIX variants aren't always that accurate, so it might just be a cross-process timing issue - which explains why this is a warning and not a fatal error. I see shades of Thiotimoline here.

Hi priyadarshikunal

I didnt find this variable in DS GETTOD_ADJ_MONOTONIC,
Are you sure this env variable is going to solve the issue?

i have to remove these warnings....anyways.

I don't know much about that as I never got this error but this is part of unix(AIX) and not related to DataStage. As it says the description is the man page of gettimeofday.

The two values in the warning are not related to execution time but they are current time of the server.
