NuTCRACKER errors in event viewer

[josh.guffey]

Hi Everyone,

I am not trying to ask a loaded question here, but when we have a lot of large jobs running I almost always see some sort of NuTCRACKER related errors in the event viewer on the server.

Code: Select all

Level	Date and Time	Source	Event ID	Task Category

Does anyone have any guidance on how to properly deal with this type of issue? Our application admin is no longer with the group and when this situation occurred in the past the response we were given was to reboot the server. I've went into DS.TOOLS via the Administration client and attempted to clear the PIDs, but the NuTCRACKER errors still persist. I know there are only so many resources available and if they are all consumed than we are limited to those constraints, but I was just wondering if anyone could give me another option other than rebooting the server.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I created one of the thread for NuTracker and shared my experience what i had in this project in relates with NuTracker. In windows you can't avoid NuTracker! Herewith some of the reasons why you get NuTracker.

1. Data type mismatch
2. Not handling Null to Not Null or Not Null to Not Null / whatever
3. High Load
4. Continues run (Better to down the server weekly once)

sorry i couldn't remember more.

What version of MKS Tool kit you have?

Check with IBM and get the latest version (9x). It will do better!

Sometime i noticed, every second you have an entry for NuTracker and that time none of you Datastage won't run properly and you need to bounce the server will be the only way.

You need to live with this and you can't avoid it the end result.
