Compilation Error when Transformer is used

Post by sridharvg »

I am getting an error "##W TFPA 000012 10:51:14(003) <main_program> Warning: the PWD environment variable is not defined. Remote process startup may be unsuccessful as a result.If your ORCHESTRATE job does not start up correctly, please set your PWD variable to a value that will work on all nodes of your system."

It is a simple job with 2 sequential files and a Transformer in between.
I am gettiing this error whenever I tried to compile a job which has a transformer in it.(Parallel Jobs)
I also installed C++ compiler on my server.

DataStage Version : 7.5x
Server OS : Win XP Professional
Client OS : Win XP Professional.

Please let me know how to resolve this error.

Thanks in advance.

May be you should just do, what the error says!!
Set the PWD variable from the Administrator-->Environmentvariables-->Userdefined.
Set the value of PWD to your project folder which will be like c:\Ascential\Datastage\Projects\projectname.

Let us know if it works!!

I do not think it works, if at all if you create a userdefined variable, how do you call it and where do you assign it.
It is something to do with the configuration settings.

It looks like your trying to compile a parallel job transformer with version 7.5X2 on a machine with Windows XP professional edition.

Last I can recall, Windows XP is not supported for parallel jobs. Might want to check with the vendor.

Set the value of PWD to your project folder which will be like c:\Ascential\Datastage\Projects\projectname. or just '.' for current directory.

Not the Home edition but proffesional edition works.

XP pro can be made to work, but is not officially supported. And then only with version 7.5x2. And you will need a patch if XP has sp2 installed.
