Phantom 22076

My job finished with the warning:

DataStage Job 252 Phantom 22076
DataStage Phantom Finished

all records are accounted for and I don't any NULL(s) in output files. What does this warning mean.

Welcome. :D

By itself, it means nothing. Other than to understand that 'phantom' is a term meaning 'background process', and that everything runs as a background process or series of processes.

You need to Reset your aborted job from the Director and then look for an entry in the log labelled 'From previous run...'. If there is one, double-click on it and then post the contents here.

The job did not abort. It finished with the phantom warning message. The job is part of a sequence DWFDRAcctStmtMINI000SEQ. I reset the sequenceer job and it had the following in job sequencer log:

"Phantom" means background process.
22076 is that process's process ID.

That there's a problem in DSD.RUN suggests that there's a bug in the vendor's software. Contact your support provider.

While waiting to get information on the phantom process I run the job again. This time it completed without any phantom warning. I will post any information I am able to gather from our UNIX support group.

Thanks to all.
