Symptoms

Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) Scenario executions have been scheduled to run hourly.

Also, an execution cycle has been defined, which results in Scenario looping:

Therefore, the total execution time of the cycle is greater than one hour; but each hour, a new schedule cycle is started. This implies that multiple instances of the same Scenario are running simultaneously and errors are signaled by ODI.

The following symptoms can be observed:

  1. In ODI Operator, it looks -- in the first few runs -- the jobs are following the specified interval (of 30 minutes), but after a few runs, the interval changes to seconds.

  2. The jobs sometimes fail with "Table or View does not exist" message.
