Troubleshooting

Use the following sections to troubleshoot errors encountered in the DCE.

Handling of Common Errors

This is a list of common errors encountered in the DCE. This should help the user to resolve them without the need to call an Informatica Corporation technical specialist.

Rulebase is locked

The Console Client returns an error message such as this when trying to connect to a Rulebase:
An Error Has Occurred: Rulebase is locked Rulebase opened at Fri Feb 26 13:17:56 2010 Server started at Fri Feb 26 13:17:46 2010 Rulebase ’sdb:file:c:\a20i\dce\rule’ is either corrupt or in use by ssa.informatica.com IP=203.2.203.101 on port=2668 IS ANOTHER RULEBASE SERVER RUNNING? ssacs_RulebaseStatus: rulebase_open ’sdb:file:c:\a20i\dce\rule’ failed -20111109
Rulebase is locked by another running Rulebase Server. If there’s no other Rulebase Server running, then the Rulebase file is corrupted. This could happen if the DCE Server is shutdown incorrectly, either by the user or some other external occurrence like computer has been powered down abruptly.
Correction:
There are no repair utilities for corrupted Rulebases. The user must delete the present Rulebase files
rule.db
and
rule.ndx
and all other related Project files and re-start the Project from the beginning.

Opening InputFile ’ ’ failed

The Sort step fails with the message "Opening InputFile ’ ’ failed" followed by the message "Reason: No such file or directory".
The sort step cannot find the input file to sort. Usually this condition occurs when an option for the preceding step is missing.
For example, the Clustering Schedule calls for a job of type Pre before the Sort job but there is no option Format in the Clustering options list.
Correction:
  • Check the Clustering options list for missing options.

Opening InputFile ’drive:<path><filename>’ failed

The first step in a Clustering process fails to open the input file named in the message, followed by the message
"Reason: No such file or directory":
The input file as named in the message could not be found. The file name or path could be misspelled or the file could be missing.
Correction:
Check the path and name of the file and if the file exists.
