Hmm... would you be willing to share what it is about the SCD stage that doesn't work for you?

Interesting... haven't seen that, the event it typically times out waiting for from what I've seen is for the job to start.

That's pretty much the possibility, which a search for "Timed out while waiting for an event" would quickly reveal.

So, your problem is there is no problem?

From your lack of job design detail, all I can guess is you really aren't using the parameters like you think you are.

So, it is the data type of "timestamp" that makes the field need to be a fixed width?

Your problem seems to be you've said this is a fixed-width file when in fact it is not. Hence the need to always find 19 bytes in the timestamp field, even when "empty".

Please stop creating new threads for the same dang question. This one is the third one on the same subject and doing this does not get you a better or faster answer, it just pisses off the natives.

If people want to help, post in the existing thread, not this one.

DataStage has no control over the processors used, that task falls firmly in the Operating System's hands. Maybe a problem with your 'virtualization' software?

Search is your friend! A quick check for "packed decimal" revealed quite a number of conversations on this topic, including this recent one:

IDENT1 in the Server job is an "invisible" transformer the compiler added, try adding a real one and see if the problem persists. Also, when you Reset the aborted job, is there a "From previous run..." message put into the log? If so, double-click on it and post the contents, please.

You can't. Read the entire thread.

Interesting. Learn something new every day.

Looks like you had a very similar problem earlier, does not this same solution apply?

There should be a button on the toolbar that looks like the Internet Explorer icon - do you have that in your version?

Why not open a case with your support provider, see if they can help? Before you decide you need to start from scratch.
