DSXchange

We are using 7.5.1 PX. We migrated our datastage code to QA by importing it from DEV.
When we are using multiple job compile utility to compile all the jobs couple of datastage sequences show compilation error.

e.g S051GPSVendorFeedRequest - Failed <<
Activity NCA_EmptyChk: Trigger Expression Lnk_To_ECA - Variable 'Iterations' not defined

Actually this varibale 'Iterations' is defined in job and when we compile the job individually it compiles successfully

Any pointers

Is it reproduceable if you do a multiple-job compile with just that sequence, does it also generate the error message? If so, you should submit it to your support provider.

I've seen several such examples going back many years. Granted it was with Server jobs but it manifested itself the same - completely bogus errors when using the MJC utility that compiled just fine individually because there was no problem with the job, just the utility.

There were a couple of specific job designs that triggered it and I documented / reported it back in the day but no clue if it was anything they ever fixed. Sorry but don't recall the details of what caused the problem.
