Process terminated because its parent had died

dataservices job design
1

We have a dataflow which reports the following in the tracelog:
“Process terminated because its parent had died”

The job doesnot report an error but instead “hangs” and does not stop properly.

Can somebody tell me where to find the cause? (what kind of object or expression can cause this type of message)

Welcome to B:bob:B!

Normally, you will get this when a dataflow is split into multiple sub-data flows; then you have a parent and child relationship.

Check to see:

  • Is parallelism turned on at the dataflow level?
  • Within the dataflow, any “run as separate process” checkboxes checked (in Query steps, lookup_ext, or table compares)

Is this issue resolved for you? I also got the error today…

I had this issue with our data load last as well.

After doing a little research, our Data Services server was set to automatically install updates and that caused our server to restart.

Just an idea of what might possibly be the cause.

Thanks
