timeout value is set to 5min by default within the redshift-connector.

We are encountering some issues when we try to load the data from DB2>Redshift. The data from DB2 extracted to a file in AVRO format -> Uploaded in S3 -> Calls a COPY command on the Redshift Cluster.


The problem is, COPY does execute however there is some post operations the Redshift Connector does that is causing access denied on AWS.


We have checked the IAM roles for the static keys, it looks like it does have delete/read/write access. I am attaching the supporting screenshots (SS1) here.



We are facing execution timeout issue along with access denied when we load large file.


Supporting screenshots below (SS2, SS3)



The COPY Command from Datastage log Used :


COPY "insrsd01_bank"."fct_bnk_ddo_consumer_deposit_transactions_file"


FROM 's3://w-001293-lnd-d-bank/fct_bnk_ddo_consumer_deposit_transactions_file'


ACCESS_KEY_ID '(masked)'


SECRET_ACCESS_KEY '(masked)'


REGION 'ap-southeast-2'


FORMAT AS AVRO 'auto ignorecase'


TIMEFORMAT 'auto'


DATEFORMAT 'auto'



The copy command when ran separately in Redshift it works fine.


But when ran from Datastage job in "PostProcess" as per screenshot it gives us Access Denied for "small files" and for "large files" (~9GB) its not loading at all with error "timeout" and gives "access denied" as well.
