Starting DataStage Engine gives error - $DSHOME/bin/uv -admin -start sample/ds.rc: Permission denied
Problem(Abstract)
When attempting to start the DataStage Engine users get the error
[dsadm@ DSEngine]$ $DSHOME/bin/uv -admin -start
-bash: /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/sample/ds.rc: Permission denied
Cause
Common cause of the issue is incorrect permissions on the below files in $DSHOME/bin directory
For Ex.
$ ls -altr |grep rws
-rwsr-x--x 1 root dstage 66821 Mar 06 2007 uv
-rwsr-x--x 1 root dstage 1615899 Mar 06 2007 list_readu
-rwsr-x--x 1 root dstage 1646771 Mar 06 2007 dsdlockd
-rws--x--x 1 root dstage 6920 Mar 06 2007 dstskup
-rwsr-x--x 1 root dstage 1603427 Mar 06 2007 dslictool
-rws--x--x 1 root dstage 87585 Mar 06 2007 DBsetup
-rwsr-x--x 1 root system 1607287 Apr 17 2007 load_NLS_shm
*$DSHOME is the path to the home directory where DataStage engine is installed
Resolving the problem
Compare the output ls -altr |grep rws in $DSHOME/bin directory to the above
