Resolution

The PII job requires a working connection to Data Warehouse in the properties.xml, also a working DBLINK.

1. Enter the Data Warehouse database and the connection details in the properties.xml
2. Restart
3. Now ensure you have recreated the DBLINK correctly. 
4. This should resolve the problem
