I created two simple mappings (sql server to mysql) with only input and output transformation. I am able to run them successfully individually.
I created a job linking these two mappings with a unconditional link.
But now the my job fails in the first step and i see the following log entry.

2009/11/02 19:28:51 - SRC_Activity.0 - ERROR (version 3.2.0-GA, build 10572 from 2009-05-12 08.45.26 by buildguy) : An error occurred, processing will be stopped:
