ERROR : (26061 | POST-SESS) : (IS | ETL_IS) : : CMN_1949 : Error: [Pre/Post Session

session command.
7)
XML Reader: Error [XMLException_Fatal] occurred while parsing:[FATAL: Error at (file
EMPTY, line 1, char 664 ): An exception occurred! Type:UnexpectedEOFException,
Message:The end of input was not expected.]; line number [1]; column number [664]
HIER_28058 XML Reader Error
TRANSF_1_1_1 MXR_91003 Failed to process an XML document.
Resolution: I was reading an XML file for parsing and got the above error. The file was read
as a string and somehow the string was getting truncated. Then I found the reason was that
the column delimiter was comma (,) in the file properties for that input file on the session and
comma was in the middle of the file I was reading and hence it was not reading the complete
file. Fixed the issue by changing the file delimiter to something else like \050 and was able to
read the complete file and parse it.

ERROR 9/8/2014 1:48:14
PM my_informatica_server.com MAPPING CMN_1022 Database driver error...
CMN_1022 [select * from test_table
FnName: Execute Direct -- ERROR: test_table does not exist]

Resolution: This is result of SQL error. In the above example test table does not exist. Create
the table and try again. In general, resolve the SQL error.

9)
Error:
FATAL *** FATAL ERROR : Failed to allocate memory. Out of virtual memory.
***********
FATAL *** FATAL ERROR : Aborting the DTM process due to memory allocation
failure. ***********
Resolution: There is not enough memory to complete the task. Either the swap space or disk
space is full on the informatica server. Clear up some space. Recover the failed. Other things
you can do is, reduce the cache size and auto memory settings and check if that helps.
10) ERROR READER_1_1_1 RR_4035 SQL Error [
FnName: Bind Col -- Invalid descriptor index
Database driver error...Delayed binding at fetch time failed.].
Resolution: Got this issue when the SQL in my session was different than the SQL in the
mapping. The SQL override logic was not mapped properly to the ports in the mapping.
Common issue in most of the mapping with SQL override. Always the fields in the SQL of
SQ have to be mapped to the outgoing ports of the SQ and not to all of the ports in the SQL.
11)
[ERROR] Web Service invoker encountered an error while invoking the Web Service.
Reason:
List does not exist.
The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by
another user.
Resolution: Got this error when connecting to sharepoint web service. Most likely the reason
is you are not connecting properly to the list or the list does not exist on sharepoint and the
sharepoint admin has to fix the issue. We had this issue since Informatica was not able to
connect to the host server of the sharepoint site. We resolved it by moving to the sharepoint
site that informatica could connect properly.

15) Error: RR_4035 SQL Error [

FnName: Execute -- ERROR: 191744 : Not enough memory for n-squared join
FnName: Execute -- 523 158].
Resolution: This was caused for me because I had two joins and the second join which was a

master outer join I believe did not have enough memory.

16) Error: (95_IS 1/22/2015 12:11:12 PM) Abort Workflow: Request acknowledged
(95_IS 1/22/2015 12:11:12 PM) Abort Workflow: ERROR: Cannot stop or abort workflow
[id = 1878] or a task within the workflow. The specified run id [3181132] is not found on this
Integration Service.
Resolution: The workflow is in failed status so not able to abort it. Restart the workflow. If
you want to recover the workflow, then let it suspend when it fails.
17) ERROR 1/18/2010 5:32:02 AM nmynod_95 MAPPING CMN_1022 Database
driver error...CMN_1022 [update employeed set myflag='Y'
FnName: Execute Direct -- ERROR: Concurrent update or delete of same row [tbl 669019
dsid 40 tx 0x89ec1c U prev 0x89ebc2]
Resolution: Two sessions trying to update or insert records to the same table. Let one of the
session complete and then recover this session.

18) Error loading into target [MY_TARGET_TABLE] : Bad rows exceeded Session
Threshold [1]
WRT_8333 : Rolling back all the targets due to fatal session error.
Resolution: This errors occurs where are more then one transformation errors that occurs
with the input data. If you set Bad row session threshold (Set on Error = 5) in the session
properties then upto 5 errors rows will be ignored and the 6th one will result in session to fail.
To resolve this either increase the session error threshold or fix the mapping to handle the bad
data.

19) Error: [Pre/Post Session Command] Process id 15555. The shell command failed with
exit code 1.
Resolution: the pre or post session command failed and the session is configured to fail if the
pre/post session command fails. Find the reason why the command is failing and fix it. If it
pre command that failed then most likely you have start from the begining. If the post
session command failed then you can just run that post command separately.
