OWB 10.2 Phantom Phailures - mapping reports success but no data!

Question

Hi all,
I've been getting more and more mapping jobs that run for their normal duration but do not update anything in OWB 10.2 against a 10.2 database. I see the following symptoms:
1. The finish time is set to the start time of the mapping when this occurs even though the mapping runs for a long time.
2. The job reports success with no errors
3. The job shows "*" for the table stats of whatever table or dimension level it was working on
4. There is nothing in the alert logs or trace files
This is sporadic! Rerunning the same mapping might work the next time. I logged an SR but was wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this. I'm running manually from design center when this occurs.
It looks like something is aborting the mapping but not reporting any error anywhere. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for your reply. I've been in contact with support and I get the following in the logs. They indicated that the error creating temp is not a problem but as you see there is a recovery and a forced termination of the job. No idea why and so far, neither have they. If I can't get error returns from OWB, I can't put it into production! I hope its something odd on my end and not a global problem.
