DataStage Oracle connector stage receives Fatal error - the connector received Oracle error code ORA-1406.

Troubleshooting


Problem

Error occurs in Oracle Connector stage - the connector received Oracle error code ORA-1406

Cause

In April 2010, a property was added to the Oracle Connector GUI that allows the user to ignore the ORA-1406 error.

Resolving The Problem

This property can be found in the in the Oracle Connector GUI under Usage-> Session-> Fail for data truncation. If this is set to YES, the job will fail. Setting this to NO allows the job to continue and the Oracle Connector logs warnings instead of throwing a fatal error. This property *is* found in version 8.1 FixPack2.
