Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  DataStage Developers using Job Sequences
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Job sequence compilation intermittently fails.
  Failure occurred compiling job sequences with many JobActivities
  that used a very large ParameterSet, 1100 entries.
  It appears that this led to a memory allocation failure with
  unpredictable results.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Customers that experience job sequence compilation failures for
  job sequnces that use large parameter sets should install this
  patch.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Job Sequence compilation was optimized to reduce memory required
  for this case and this resolved the problem.
