Projects on Windows platforms fail with pipe error messages

[CR #539346] Projects may fail with a “pipe does not exist” or “pipe permission” error when ETL Server and Sybase IQ server are on different Windows platforms.

Workaround:

  1. Verify that the Sybase IQ and ETL Server hosts can both access the shared directories on each other:

    1. If Sybase IQ is running on Windows 2003, which is a multiuser operating system, ensure that you are logged in to the session where the target Sybase IQ server was started

    2. Ensure you can see the target Sybase IQ server when you try to access the ETL Server host from within the Sybase IQ host.

  2. If pipe errors still exist after following workaround 1, specify a data file instead of a pipe name for the Load Stage option in the IQ Bulk Load Sybase IQ component to execute the project containing the component. See “DB Bulk Load Sybase IQ,” in Chapter 5 “Components” in the Sybase ETL 4.8 Users Guide.
