Job fails with multiple bookmark links or no bookmark link error message

While running an InfoSphere® DataStage® job, the job fails if the CDC Transaction stage finds multiple bookmark links or no bookmark link.

Symptoms

The job fails with an error message that indicates that either multiple bookmark links exist, or that no bookmark link is defined.

Causes

The CDC Transaction stage requires one and only one bookmark link. The job fails if more than one link is specified as the bookmark link, or if no links are specified as the bookmark link.

Resolving the problem

In the stage editor for the CDC Transaction stage, modify the link properties to ensure that one and only one link is specified as the bookmark link. To specify that a link is the bookmark link, set the Bookmark link property to Yes.
