Investigate a failed job sequence
Identify the failed task, execution context, relevant evidence and next diagnostic step.
Resources
Practical WhereScape RED procedures and tools
A public toolkit for common RED 8.6.x administration and troubleshooting tasks is being prepared for release.
Warehouse Operations Toolkit
Initial release in preparation
The toolkit will focus on small, usable BAU procedures rather than a large framework. Each procedure will explain its purpose, required inputs, steps, expected result and any supporting SQL.
Open, practical and reusable
Standard Markdown procedures and scripts suitable for local knowledge bases, technical review and AI-assisted analysis.
Planned first procedures
High-value RED 8.6.x BAU tasks
Find live or stuck jobs
Separate active work from stalled or orphaned execution and record the evidence.
Review recent failures and recoveries
Find recurring incidents and distinguish isolated failures from persistent patterns.
Export object definitions
Prepare RED metadata and code for documentation, review or AI-assisted analysis.
Trace object usage and dependencies
Understand upstream and downstream impact before changing a warehouse object.
Compare RED code with deployed SQL
Detect drift between repository definitions and the implementation running in the database.
Compare slow and normal runs
Use execution evidence to narrow down changed data volumes, tasks or dependencies.
Compare environments
Find meaningful differences across development, test and production.
Validate a data refresh
Confirm expected completion, recency, row movement and downstream availability.
Independent consulting
Need one of these procedures for your environment now?
A procedure can be adapted to your RED repository, metadata platform and operating constraints as consulting work.
