Hi Ray,

This is similar error which I am facing in recent days.
but not every day.. its is occuring atleast once in a week, what could be the cause for this error other than permissions, if it was purely based on permissions, then we should get this error for every run.?

I did encounter this problem a couple of times even though there were permissions .I dont know what causes the problem but changing the update policy to Use Existing(Discard schema & records) got rid of this error .

We had the same error because the DataStage job has been accidentally called 2 x at the same time in our UC4 job plan. Both jobs have been trying to write to the same file.
