ds_ipcopen() - call to OpenFileMapping() failed

[platon]

Hi

Platform: Windows 2000 Server
DataStage server version: 7.5

I have a job reading rows from a DB2 Stage into a IPC stage. The settings in the IPC stage are (buffer size 128 and timeout 60).

Job Properties settings are Enable row buffer is enabled using In process with buffer size 128 and a timeout set to 60 (timeout is of course greyed out because of my In process selection).

When I run the job I get the following warning and an error message:

Warning: Job_TEWPPERS..Ipc_Picture.Input_H_Picture: ds_ipcopen() - call to OpenFileMapping() failed - The system cannot find the file specified.

Error: Job_TEWPPERS..X_Pivot: |Error 11 in GCI Link initialisation.

I have allready checked to se if the problem could be disk space but I have 50Gb disk space availeble on the server.

The job design worked fine last week and we have not changed the job. We have tried to recompile the job at re-execute it but still the same problem.

Any idees?

Thanks

Hi,
firts you should use inter process buffering if you use IPC rather then in-process a buffer of 1024 usually does it (and may be a forced limit).
beyong that could it be that the file after the IPC stage was/is locked for some reason? or exists with no privilages to the user that run the job when it failed?

IHTH,
