Component Interface problem

Question

Hi,
I am creating a new component interface based on the component LANGUAGES_CMP using the application designer. It comes up with a red X on the PROPERTIES.
On the bottom of the screen, it says "Found Error, please review Component Interface structure.
How do I fix this problem ?
Many thanks
Ivy

Anand,
I think I used to have a similar problem in 8.3. My data source was a staging table. The process would run for a while and blow up on an employee. I would back out all of the updates and run the process again and it would blow up on a different employee (sometimes before the employee in the last run and sometimes after). I tried a couple of different things. I put an additional step in my application engine that called an operating system Sleep command that would cause a break between employees. I theorized that memory wasn't getting cleaned up between employees and pausing between employees would give the system (probably in PeopleSoft) a moment to get memory cleared before the next employee. I also tried setting some flags so that I would ignore an employee that failed then attempt to process them again. I don't think the second technique was terribly successful.
In later releases of PeopleTools the problem seemed to have cleared itself up (at least in 8.3).
