ALL DataStage Project variables disappear, cannot add variables to project

Troubleshooting


Problem

Project variables disappear and when creating a new variable the following error occurs: vmdsstage Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set

Cause

Linux glibc library bug is causing corruption of the project's parameter file DSParams.

Resolving The Problem

Follow the instruction for Technote:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21580287

Depending on the amount of corruption the DSParams file may be damaged beyond repair. If a backup of the DSParams file (before corruption) is available, use that. If not, then replace the DSParams file in the project directory with a known good DSParams file from another project or the Template directory.

If you use a DSParams file from a different installation, make sure you go in and change the variables that are specific to that install/project.

List of Variables that should be checked to ensure they match the install/project:



APT_CONFIG_FILE
APT_ORCHHOME
Any 3rd party PATH variables
Any user defined variables
