"Unrecognized argument" - Error in QualityStage

deepticr · Post by **deepticr** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 6:20 am

Hi,

I have a parallel job with data being read from an Oracle Ent. Stage followed by an Investigate Stage. I am trying to perform a character discrete investigation on a zip code column in my source data. I have given a mask of CCXXX.

The job fails with the error:

main_program: Unrecognized argument: secondary
main_program: Could not check all operators because of previous error(s)

Am I going wrong with the settings of the Investigate stage? I checked with the tutorial that came along with the product and I feel I have followed all the step required for configuring the stage.

Thanks
Deepti

Hi,

Does the job fail if you replace the investigate stage with a Peek?

You can set APT_DISABLE_COMBINATION to true and see if the error that comes back is more specific about the stage.

I tried setting the APT_DISABLE_COMBINATION to true.. It still gives me the same set of errors:

main_program: Unrecognized argument: secondary
main_program: Unrecognized argument: secondary
main_program: Unrecognized argument: secondary
main_program: Could not check all operators because of previous error(s)

What happens if you just have Oracle -> Peek?

Oracle with just a peek/dataset works perfectly fine... No problems there...

Please try the following:

Investigate Stage panel Stage tab->Properties->Options->Alternate locale.
Set it it to en_US.UTF-8 and try to rerun

Tried to do that.. Still the same error...

I'm facing this issue in DataStage 8.1. I have access to DataStage 8.5 test env where we are testing our migration activities... The same job works fine in 8.5... Could it be something to do with the installation of 8.1

Yes, it is possible

At this point, I suggest that you open a PMR at IBM.

Sorry to not be able to help.
