    USERS AFFECTED:
    DataStage Clients
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    Repeatably opening and closing stage editors will eventually
    cause the Designer to fail.  The failure can occur in many
    different ways, but it after it has occurred the Designer will
    exit losing any unsaved work.
    ****************************************************************
    RECOMMENDATION:
    Install the patch, or restart the Designer after 2-3 hours use
    to avoid the graphic object limit from being reached.
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • Each time a stage editor was opened and closed, operating
    system graphics objects were leaked (ie they were allocated but
    never released).  Repeatably opening and closing stage editors
    would eventually cause the Designer process to reach its limit
    on the number of these objects it can have allocated at one
    time.  Once this limit had been reach the Designer would fial
    upon the next attempted allocation.
