Dataflow Hangs. Job Never Completes

We have a simple job that runs every 1/2 hour during the day. No problems for a year. Recently the job "hangs" occasionally. Instead of completing in 30 seconds, it remains "active" until we manually end it.... minutes or hours later.

It imports a "flat file" from a local drive and clears, then loads the data into IBMi files. Only 100 records or so at a time. It completed copying files to the IBMi, I confirmed the rows in the flat file = rows on the IBMi. But yet the dataflow doesn't show completed, so the next step doesn't execute.

This 1st image shows the log with missing completion steps. 2nd image shows a successful completion when it ran at the next scheduled time. Thoughts ?

Hi gdunn,

When the job is stuck, identify the process ID as shown below

Then navigate to Process Explorer or Task Manager > Details tab and then look for al_engine.exe process with the process id you identified (e.g 12540 in the above example).

Right click the process and choose "Create Dump File" and once the dump has been created provide it for deep dive.

check whether you see database locks on the DB side or high resource utilization on either side.

Best Regards,

Joseph

I just generated a 290 meg DMP file, but not sure what to do with it. It's not human readable. No SQL Blocking.
