In SAS Customer Intelligence Studio, you might receive an error message when you use dynamic Link nodes in campaigns.

• The error only occurs intermittently and does not occur with every execution of the campaign.
• You see the error only when you use a layered structure of campaigns, which are all linked together using dynamic (Use the most current data when referenced by a link node" checked) and static Link nodes. For dynamic Link nodes, the property Use the most current data when referenced by a link node is selected. For static Link nodes, the property is not selected.

The campaign execution fails and the following error is generated:

This error is followed by this message later:

If you review the message, you can see that the creation of MATable TAHDCIU0IDVAEW1Lxxxxxxxx fails because another MATable does not exist:

That is, the MATable (TAHDCIU0IDVAEW1Lxxxxxxxx) cannot be created because a previous MATable (TGEDDPQKENJASR21xxxxxxxx) does not exist.

In the SASCustIntelCore6.5.log file, you can see also that TGEDDPQKENJASR21xxxxxxxx belongs to a Link node:

However, this MATable is deleted earlier:

As a workaround, you can clear the counts of the failing campaign and re-execute the campaign.
