NextSurrogateKey() in a stage variable

I_Server_Whale · Post by **I_Server_Whale** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 4:25 pm

Hi all,

I'm trying to assign the NextSurrogateKey() function to a stage variable. The job compiles fine but aborts with SIGSEGV error message.

Has anyone encountered this before in IS 8.0.1? Or in 7.5.2?

The exact error message is as below:

Code: Select all

X2,0: Operator terminated abnormally: received signal SIGSEGV

Where X2 is the transformer.

As always, appreciate your inputs.

Regards,
Whale.

Whale got a SIGSEGV, not a SIGBUS signal.

I believe you can only set NextSurrogateKey() to output link columns - kind of limits it's usefulness.

That is awful.

I would think it is a bug rather than it being a limit.

Got a patch from IBM to call it in a stage variable. And now it works!!!
