Hierarchical Data : Can not write a field name, expecting

I'm trying to compose a JSON file and I'm getting this error:

Code: Select all

Hierarchical_Data_0,0: org.codehaus.jackson.JsonGenerationException: Can not write a field name, expecting a value
I've never seen this before and I can't find anything on IBM explaining it.

Is DataStage not able to process multiple CLOBs in a single table?? The OCI function OCILobRead2 returned status -1. Error code: 24806, Err...

Starting services always takes two attempts?

Whenever I go to start the services, it will hang forever (45+ mins) and then I lose paitiants and I kill it, and search for the process and kill it. Then I issue the command a second time and it starts up within a couple of minutes. Can anyone offer guidance where to start looking as to why this is...

Then just as a FYI, the OCI is deprecated and you'll want to get on the new Oracle Connector and migrate your old jobs to use this. We're experiencing some pain ourselves having delayed this code update and we're now being forced into updating before we can continue upgrading the environment.

This isn't going to help much but we started down the path of 11.3 to 11.5 and there were several issues that made stop and back out of that. It's looking now it'll be 6 months or so down the road before we'll look at this again. Hopefully by then IBM will have enough patches and rollups released to...

Connector Migration Tool : getDefaultSapceID

I'm attempting to use the Connector Migration Tool. When it launches and prompts me to connect to a server, I'm getting a getDefaultSpaceID error? Googling the error just returns a bunch of java errors but none that I saw that'd help with this IBM tool.

They compile but in the logs they throw a warning and abort. Oracle OCI has been DEPRECATED This deprecated stage is replaced by the Oracle Conne...

Did you ever figure this out? I'm in a similar situation but my error message is about the 11g, and I do have the connector toggled for 11g. I can do a view and that works, but when I go to run the job is when it breaks.
