ERROR:Event number 246 not found in RT_LOG344¦(DSGetLogEntry) 2

[lrv]

Has anyone seen this error before?

3|2003-08-18 02:49:47|Batch::Mpg.JobControl (fatal error from DSGetLogEntry): Job control fatal error (-4)|(DSGetLogEntry) Event number 246 not found in RT_LOG344|(DSGetLogEntry) Cannot find log event with id '246'

We have a process that has been running for many years and recently started to abend with this error. The only consistent factor that we have been able identify is this: when a stage starts running on one day and the processing continues past midnight of that day, the job that is running will complete and then abend with this error. It seems like it loses its connection with the driving process.

Some background: We run a process from a unix shell script that calls different datastage jobs. The datastage job called from the shell script is a driver and calls other datastage jobs to run in parallel. It is the connection between these jobs and the driver job that seem to be lost after midnight. All the jobs that the driving job kicks off before midnight will run to completion but end with the error above.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Have you tried clearing out the log entries / cleaning up resources / recompiling for both the job and the calling batch?

It may also help to save a copy of the job, delete the original and rename the copy back to the original job's name, and re-add the job to the calling batch and then recompile it?

I had a few errors like this coming up with 2 jobs in my project, but couldnt narrow it down to anything in particular apart from datastage getting itself into a pickle!
