Unstructured Data Stage - X11 error
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2017 7:37 pm
We're on Info Server 11.5.0.1 on RedHat Linux.
We have a simple job writing to the unstructured data stage (excel file as output). If we use the defaults in the unstructured stage, only specifying the output file (path and file name) the job completes successfully without errors or warnings. However, if we specify "adjust column width" to "yes", then the job fails with the following odd error:
Why would the job even be trying to open an X11 window in the first place? Any ideas?
The IBM online documentation doesn't mention any details beyond the basics.
I see this technote about WAS needing to set the DISPLAY variable, but I don't understand why this would be necessary for running a DataStage job in the first place.
