I am getting the following error in one of my jobs.(in join stage)


join_records,0:The current soft limit on the data segment (heap) size (2147483645) is less than the hard limit (2147483647), consider increasing the heap size limit


in the join stage I am using entire partition in one link(one record through this link) and round robin on the other(1470610 records through this link).Is this error related to space on the device??

This is an annoying message, which is really an informational message but displays as a warning on the grounds that it's "unusual". It stems from a difference (of two bytes?!!) between what your ulimit specifies (for data) and the hard limit coded in DataStage. Get your UNIX administrator to increase the ulimit value so that the message goes away. "unlimited" is a good value, or the value that DataStage appears to expect.
