Error description
Designer intermittently freezes during referring files under an OS directory when there are pipes in the directory. This occurs when they try to see files in an OS directory from Designer (see configuration file in job property, files in sequential file stage...).
Local fix
Not place pipe's file in a directory where Designer refers
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: DataStage, browsing server-side sequential files (AIX) **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Browsing server-side sequential files was hanging on directories containing named pipes (fifos). **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: This is an AIX only fix - install patch_JR37122_server_aix_8100-1 ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The implementation of the AIX server side sequential file browser was blocking when enumerating directories containing named pipes. The entire file gathering aspect of this functionality required re-writing to ignore named pipes, which prevents an open access from making the blocking call.
