Error description

  • after applying JR31746, jobs containing transforms fail to run,
    accompanied by these messages:
    
    Message: txfr_prepareIns: Failed to load the library
    "V0S90_xdsj_LoadJobs_txfr_prepareIns.o"; either the directory
    containing the library file is not on the library search path,
    or the library was compiled on a system that is incompatible
    with this system:
    Could not load "V0S90_xdsj_LoadJobs_txfr_prepareIns":
    0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for
    /dsdata/software/Ascential/DataStage/Projects/TRS/RT_BP2015.O/V0
    S90_xdsj_LoadJobs_txfr_prepareIns.o because:
    0509-136 Symbol localTimeStamp__13APT_TimeStampFv (number 106)
    is not exported from dependent module
    /dsdata/software/Ascential/DataStage/PXEngine/lib/liborchaix3.a(
    libtemp.o).
    0509-022 Cannot load module .
    0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a
    valid format.
    0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv'
    command..
    
    This is due to a change for ecase 99068, which was included in
    the build for JR31746. That fix was not made in a
    backward-compatible manner. The patch for JR31746 should work,
    but it would force the customer to recompile all transforms. We
    can instead make a new patch that eliminates that need.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users who had applied patch JR31746 and attempted to run
    Transforms with the Timestamp function
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    After installing patch JR31746, the user would try to run a
    Transform that used the Timestamp function and would come across
    a library loading/symbol resolution error.
    The user would have to recompile these jobs in order to get them
    to run.
    ****************************************************************
    RECOMMENDATION:
    Uninstall patch JR31746 and apply patch JR33161
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problem was caused by the fix in JR31746 being made in a
    backwards-incompatible manner.
    To fix it a backwards-compatible set of function overloads was
    added.
    Once the fix is implemented, preexisting Transform jobs using
    the Timestamp function will work without requiring a recompile.
