DSXchange

Hi,

We have just upgraded from 7.5 to 8.1 and now have a job that intermittently gets this error:

J_Fact_PS_F_TERM_ENRLMT..IPC_SRC.IPC_SRC_in: ds_ipcopen() - call to OpenFileMapping() failed - The system cannot find the file specified.

J_Fact_PS_F_TERM_ENRLMT..Trans_Null_Validate: |Error 11 in GCI Link initialization.|

The job worked fine in 7.x and just started intermittently failing after the upgrade. The job design has DRS_SOURCE --> IPC_SRC STAGE --> TRANSFORMER followed by other transformers, hashed file lookups and DRS Target. The error seems to be coming from the IPC_SRC stage but what's curious with the last run that failed is that no rows were selected in the source so nothing was flowing through the IPC_SRC stage.

I'm using Inter Process buffering, buffer size is 1024 and timeout is 600.

I've looked at the other posts regarding this issue but didn't seem to find anything that might help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Vince

Are you current on your fix packs?

Should be...we're a PeopleSoft shop and I applied all the patches that Oracle delivered.

Hi, I put an hashed file for the two input... Now all go OK.

Bye.

Thanks pkste! What I ended up doing was removing the IPC stage from between the DRS stage and the transformer and haven't had a problem since.
