DataStage Error writing record \\\ to file DS_STAGETYPES - error number is 40019
Record OracleConnector on file DS_STAGETYPES cannot be written
Error writing record \\\ to file DS_STAGETYPES - error number is 40019
when the DataStage developer, who only has read access to the project , opens the Oracle Connector stage for the first time.
Symptom
When you open the Oracle Connector stage for the first time you will see the error:
Record OracleConnector on file DS_STAGETYPES cannot be written
Error writing record \\\ to file DS_STAGETYPES - error number is 40019
Cause
When Information Server is installed there are a number of built-in stages which are already 'provisioned' to the template project which include records in the DS_STAGETYPES file.
These built-in stages are in the template project so the built-in stages are automatically included in any projects that are created.
There are a number of stagetypes which are installed in a way that initially only stores them in the repository. The first time the stagetype is referenced in a project the stagetype is provisioned from the repository to the DS_STAGETYPES file in the project directory.
Resolving the problem
IBM provides a client-side tool DSStageTypeUpdater.exe which will provision all available stagetypes to a specified project and to the template project so that any subsequently created projects will include all available stagetypes.
Please run the C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic\DSStageTypeUpdater.exe tool as a DataStage Administrator and connect to each existing project. This only needs to be done once.
You can reference C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic\DSStageTypeUpdater_readme.txt for instructions on how to use the tool to update all projects.
