JR33952: DS STAGETYPES NOT POPULATED TO UV RESPOSITORY WHEN IMPORTING DSXPROJECTS.

Download Fix Pack 2 for InfoSphere Information Server Version 8.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When importing dsx project into Information Server 8.1, the DS
  Stagetypes records for the project are imported into XMeta. But
  these stagetypes records are not copied to the UV repository.
  So, if customer imports the compiled job and tries to run the
  job, they get a "pin initialization error". Customer has to
  recompile their job or open the stagetype in DS Designer for
  that record to be copied over.
  

Local fix

• 1/ Recompile the job
  2/ Open the stagetypes in DS Designer.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  DataStage Job runs are experiencing "Pin not initialized"
   errors.
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Stage Types installed as part of a PACK are only created in the
  design-time repository, and are not automatically provisioned
  into the run-time project directories. If a job executable that
  uses one of these Stage Types is imported into a project,  and
  run immediately, it can generate run-time warnings logs such as
  "Pin N not initialized",  and the job run will fail.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  patch_JR33952_client_windows introduces a new client program
  (DSStageTypeUpdater.exe) that can be used to ensure that all
  Stage Types   which are installed for a project are provisioned
  to the server in one command.
  This fix is included in 8.1 FP1
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• If the job design is compiled, or the missing stage is opened
  in the Designer, the equired Stage Type record will be
  automatically provisioned onto the server.  This will remove
  the"Pin not initialized" messages.  However, that workaround
  may   not be possible if the job in question is being deployed o
  some production systems.
