Troubleshooting


Problem

When trying to compile a job that has a transformer stage, it fails with the following error. Output from transformer compilation follows: ##I IIS-DSEE-TFCN-00001 14:49:06(000) IBM InfoSphere DataStage Enterprise Edition 11.3.0.7086 Copyright (c) 2001, 2005-2014 IBM Corporation.

Resolving The Problem

  1. Remove this entry from the System environment variable PATH:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\MKS Toolkit\mksnt

    This can cause trouble finding MKS shell tools and there is a short name to this in the PATH
    environment variable already.
  2. After removing the entry, reboot the machine for the changes to take effect.
  3. Check that the environment only has the following defined. If this is defined, then VisualStudio 2010 is being used:

    VS100COMNTOOLS

    If the following is defined, then VisualStudio 2012 is being used:

    VS110COMNTOOLS

    Ensure that only one is defined. In this case, VS100COMNTOOLS which is for VisualStudio 2010.
