Troubleshooting


Problem

ALL jobs received error EM_NETCONN(207): Error in doing a network connect.CLI Error Message: {2}

Cause

There are too many defunct processes in Teradata Server

Resolving The Problem

This error indicates that the source Teradata database was not reachable during job execution. Thus, these should be checked

1) /etc/hosts to ensure the corresponding Teradata database hostname and ip address are correct

2) Use bteq installed in the same machine as DataStage engine to verify the connectivity to the source database.

3) Check the Teradata Server to see if there are many defunct TCP/IP connections.

Cleanup and re-start the server.
