So now you look at your database stage, in particular its dboptions property, and figure out what you've put in there to cause a syntax error - in particular there's a "." that was not expected to appear where it does appear, and where the expected character is "," or "}". You may find it useful als...

You can set APT_DISABLE_COMBINATION for project-wide or job-wide disablement, or you can disable any stage's combinability on the Advanced tab.

There is no software tool of which I am aware.

We do not even attempt diagnosis of errors thrown by APT_CombinedOperatorController.

Disable operator combination and reproduce the error, which will now be reported by the actual operator (stage) that generated it.

Interesting. There's no DEFFUN declaration for it in DSJOBCONTROL.H, which is the basis for my earlier non-existence statement. However, it is cataloged in the VOC file, so I guess it does exist after all. To use it in a routine you will require your own DEFFUN declaration, or you will need to call ...

No passive stage is permitted to open its output link(s) until its input link is closed.

You need to re-think your job design.

You must use DSGetStageInfo to get a list of all the stages, then use DSGetLinkInfo on each link to determine what kind of link it is.

Stop thinking like a server job developer.

Parallel jobs CAN finish even though one of the components has logged a fatal error. That is because the Conductor process, which almost never has a fatal error itself, finishes normally.

There are various aspects to administration that are allowable only to the administrator. Setting up the security is one of them. Licensing is another. If you're not the administrator, these functions are disabled.
