Information

 
Title“Current transaction is aborted” error when executing a datastage job on PostgreSQL Database
URL NameCurrent-transaction-is-aborted-error-when-executing-a-datastage-job-on-PostgreSQL-Database
Article Number000124858
EnvironmentProduct: DataDirect
Version: 07.16.0353 (B0519, U0369)
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo)
Database: PostgreSQL
Application: IBM Datastage
Question/Problem Description

The PostgreSQL Database returns an error when running the Datastage job
 

Steps to ReproduceNA
Clarifying Information
Note: The reported behavior can be only noticed with PostgreSQL v12. The lower versions of DB don't need the 'ShowSelectableTables' connection parameter
Error Message[IBM(DataDirect OEM)][ODBC PostgreSQL Wire Protocol driver][PostgreSQL]ERROR: VERROR; current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block(File d\....\postgres.c; Line 1428; Routine exec_parse_message; )
Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
The issue occurs when the “SQLTablesW” API call with TableName filter with all block-letters. This is causing an internal exception on the PostgreSQL Server-side which is causing the side effect on the next DROP SQL Query. 
Resolution
None at this time.
 
Workaround

Set the connection option in the DSN entry: ShowSelectableTables = 0
