Link Analysis Job Status or Termination

A job status of RUN indicates a job is currently in progress. In the KDD_RUN table, the RUN_MSG_TX column indicates which task within a job is currently running. A job status of FIN indicates successful execution.

A Link Analysis module terminates with an error condition if a metadata error occurs. A metadata error is just a generic error that refers to any issue with the data that might cause the job to terminate. For example, if the Link Analysis job references a dataset id for a dataset that does not exist a metadata error will be thrown.

A Link Analysis job run terminates either when all necessary information has been copied, or an error occurs. If an error occurs, the system records an ERR status in the KDD_RUN table and reports it to the looper process. The system then associates the ERR status with the entire job. To determine success or failure of a job and/or its associated run, you must query the KDD_JOB and KDD_RUN tables in the database.
