Receiving the following error when trying to view the log in DataStage Director, Cannot open executable job file RT_CONFIG147

Troubleshooting


Problem

In DataStage Director when I try to view the log details I receive the following error: Cannot open executable job file RT_CONFIG147

Cause

There could be a few reasons for this error:

  1. The file may not exist.
  2. It could be permissions on the file.
  3. The file may be corrupt.

Diagnosing The Problem

Check the following:

  1. The file will be RT_CONFIGnn, where nn is the job number. Look in the project directory at the OS level, by default this would be:

    At 7.x ../Ascential/DataStage/Projects/ProjectName
    At 8.x /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Projects/ProjectName

    If you do not find this directory then the file does not exist and may have been deleted.
  2. Check the permissions of the directory RT_CONFIGnn and the files in it. Does the user have access?
  3. To check for corruption in the DataStage Administrator command window execute:

    LIST RT_STATUSnn F1 DET.SUP

    Where nn is the job number. This should return a count of the number of records in the file if it is successful.

Resolving The Problem

To resolve the issue:

  1. If it is a permissions issue fix the permissions.
  2. If the file does not exist or it is corrupt then you can re-create the file.

    - If the file is corrupt then delete the RT_CONFIGnn directory at the OS level.
    - Next in DataStage Administrator command window execute the following:

    ED VOC RT_CONFIGnn

    You will be in the Editor. Use the text box and the Respond button.

    Type: 2 Click: Respond
    Type: R Click: Respond
    Type: FI Click: Respond
    Click: Close

    Next execute:

    CREATE.FILE DATA RT_CONFIGnn 30

    The new file is now created. You should be able to view the detail log successfully.
