Welcome aboard, Rai.

The full text of your error is something like this, I assume:

Code: Select all

Controller problem: Error calling DSRunJob(JOB NAME), code=-14 
[Timed out while waiting for an event] 
If you search the site for either the error number or the phrase in square brackets, you'll find many discussions on this very subject here.

Long story short, your server is overloaded. Read through your search results for more details.

Welcome aboard. :D

Is it the jobs that stop, or the DataStage services? ("DS stop with a strange error" does not let us know which of these things is happening.) Can you please post the full message from that error? Double click on the event in the job log to view the full message.

Like said above you get this error due to overloading of the server.
If you do a search, on the site you will that you are not alone, many have come across such a situtation.
You might not get this error again for this job, if you re-run it.
If this error occurs more frequently, you might want to think of upgrading your server

Hi Narasimha,
Thanks for your answer. You said that this problem occurred because an overload, too many process running at the same time? In this case there are few jobs running. Or you said few resources of the machine server?

How can i demonstrate that the server does not have the enough resources, to execute all the DS processes?


tks

You (or the UNIX Administrator) need to monitor the operating system, with particular emphasis on CPU (%Idle), memory (PF/S) and disk space. You have to do this at short intervals when the problem is occurring, but you also need baseline averages collected over longer periods of time with which to compare the "bad time" figures.

Interesting... I guess I should just go back and delete my posts.

Hi,
I'm having the same issue when my server is overwhelmed by too many processes, only difference I'm on a windows installation at the moment.
Please check your maximum processes configuration and see if you reached it when getting that message.
