Jobs with Transformer Stages that use remote nodes fail

The projects directory must exist and be accessible on the remote node.

Symptoms

InfoSphere® DataStage® parallel jobs with Transformer stages that use remote nodes fail with the following error:

Item #: 19 
Event ID: 126 
Timestamp: 2010-06-23 13:37:03 
Type: Fatal 
User Name: t2etl01 
Message: trn: Failed to distribute the shared library 
"/datastage/DataStage/Projects/ProjectName/RT_BP123.O/V10S0_xxxxxxxx_trn.o"to node "nodeName". [transform/transform.C:1827]

Causes

This error is a result of the projects directory either not in existence or not accessible on the remote node.

Resolving the problem

You can resolve this problem with one of the following actions:

  • Ensure that the Projects directory is NFS mounted to the remote node to avoid the need for copying of the transformer objects to the remote node. NOTE: This is the preferred method of resolution.
  • If you chose not to have the Projects directory NFS-mounted to the remote node, create a Projects directory structure on the remote node and ensure that permissions allow access to all InfoSphere DataStage users. Then, ensure that the InfoSphere DataStage uses can run these commands. If you disallow rcp and require scp to be used, ensure that you created $APT_ORCHHOME/etc/remcp file to use scp instead of rcp. Transformer objects are copied to the remote node with either rcp or scp.
