 Data Stage compilation error "Failed to invoke GenRuntime using phantom process helper. "

If you are getting below error while compiling jobs in Data Stage and error in coming in all the projects.Job are not able to execute.

Failed to invoke GenRuntime using phantom process helper. 

Cause:One of the possible cause of this error may be that tmp directory is full.Go to location
            /opt/IBM/InformationServer and check the space occupied by folder tmp

Run below command to see the space occupied.

df -k /opt/IBM/InformationServer/tmp

It command will show you total space assigned to this folder,space occupied,space available and %use.

If your issue is due to space in tmp directory,You will see %use as 100%.That means there is no space available in tmp directory and your jobs are failing.

If you try to delete some unwanted files from tmp folder,%Use may not decrease less than 100%.It means that even after deleting the files,no space is being released.

Solution:

Data Stage restart may resolve this issue.

Your tmp folder  may be filled because of the bad jobs.

A bad jobs is a job that had an issue while running and caused the temp directory to become full.
This could happen again if the same program is run.

Developer needs to fix the job to avoid this issue.
