APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Duplicate Connectors with invalid hostnames exist in
the Datastage repository.

Local fix

  • n/a

Problem summary

  • Duplicate Connector objects existed in the repository before
installation of Fix Pack 2. These duplicate Connectors were
pointing to invlid Hostnames and were not linked correctly with
StageTypes. This repository corruption is causing Fix Pack
installation to fail and with a Java Null Pointer Exception
while it is running the RewriteConnectorObjects utility.

Problem conclusion

  • The fix is to run a new utility that corrects the repository
Connector objects before running the Fix Pack Installation. See
this technote if the first Fix Pack installation failed:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21506569

This technote is required to 'reset' the Fix Pack installation
prior to rerunning it. Otherwise it will fail again with
different errors because the first Fix Pack installation left
the system in a bad state.

Temporary fix
