can I have a solution for this? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Here is an error message I got in yours.

Could not read from "file:///E:/Practise_TRANSFORMATION OUTPUT/dynamic pivot/pivot_inject.ktr" because it is a not a file.

You should check: - whether the pivot_inject.ktr file exists in E:/Practise_TRANSFORMATION OUTPUT/dynamic or not pivot - whether the pivot_inject.ktr file is correct format or not..

You can do it by simply copy: file:///E:/Practise_TRANSFORMATION OUTPUT/dynamic pivot/pivot_inject.ktr and paste on the window explorer or web browser

Answer 2

hey hi all thanks for all your assistance, I guess I founded out the reason behind that error, I believe this is the most silliest reason that I didn't change the source file path in "CSV Input" step and didn't properly specified the "pivot_inject.ktr" path. Thanks once again.

Answer 3

Here: Running pan.bat from command line in one of comment you wrote:

"Thanks, I tried removing space from my folder by making it to Practise_TRANSFORMATION_OUTPUT.but unfortunately the there is another error."

and then you got error:

2016/03/04 09:46:41 - ETL Metadata Injection.0 -
2016/03/04 09:46:41 - ETL Metadata Injection.0 - Unable to read file [file:///E:/Practise_TRANSFORMATION OUTPUT/dynamic pivot/pivot_inject.ktr]
2016/03/04 09:46:41 - ETL Metadata Injection.0 - Could not read from "file:///E:/Practise_TRANSFORMATION OUTPUT/dynamic pivot/pivot_inject.ktr" because it is a not a file.

once againt -

Practise_TRANSFORMATION OUTPUT

Incorrect folder hard-coded for transformation reference. I suppose should be

Practise_TRANSFORMATION_OUTPUT

Please check after you rename some folder - all other manually hard-coded paths is also updated. Use repository. If you still don't use repository - but want to reference one transformation from other under same folder - use variable called:

${Internal.Transformation.Filename.Directory}

for transformations and

${Internal.Job.Filename.Directory}

for jobs accordingly. Hope this will help.

Answer 4

The first error message on your log is " ERROR (version 5.2.0.0, build 1 from 2014-09-30_19-48-28 by buildguy) : Bad encoding!"

I'm dought about the encoding of the file "pan.bat" .
