In DataStage, the command: bin/uvsh is normally used to start the command shell, while bin/uv command is normally called with additional parameters (i.e. bin/uv -admin -start). If bin/uv is called with no parameters, it will attempt to launch the UV shell, but that request will usually fail with errors reporting libraries not found. For example on AIX user may see: exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program bin/uv because of the following errors: 0509-150 Dependent module libicwrapper.so could not be loaded. 0509-022 Cannot load module libicwrapper.so. 0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist While on Linux the error may be: bin/uv: error while loading shared libraries: libdsplugin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Depending on release and platform, the failing library name could also be libodbc.so, libodbcinst.so, or additional libraries.

How can I unlock an XMETA locked job? The job cannot be exported and when attempting to open the job, the following error appears: Unable to open the Job The Job 'TestJob' is locked by user 'dsadm' (SessionID '8F1B0326-4F7E-45A8-B8EC-EAA8C4780528') Do you want to continue and open a read-only view of the Job? Cause This issue arises when a lock still remains in XMETA for the corresponding job. Information Server will lock the job to ensure that there is no indeterminancy regarding the editing and saving of a job. The most common causes of this is when a user has closed a client window unexpectedly (e.g. Force Terminate).

The order in which to stop all services is: Stop DataStage Engine Stop the ASB Agent Stop the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) Here are the step-by-step instructions for each of the above.  Stop DataStage Engine Log into your UNIX machine as root Make sure that no one is using DataStage. Check if there are any processes left ps -ef | grep -i phantom ps -ef | grep dsapi ps -ef | grep dscs These commands should not return any results. If they return results, it means that there are still some processes running. You can wait for the users to stop their processes or kill the processes (using kill -9 PID). Check if dsrpc is running netstat -a | grep dsrpc If dsrpc is running, then you should get a line with the status LISTEN. If you get more lines it means that there are still some connections and you need to wait. If you see that dsrpc or other connections are in status WAIT then you also need to wait until this it disappears (you can also reboot the machi...

Problem The configuration file requires changes for Redhat v6 for InfoSphere DataStage Resolving the problem Perform the following steps: As root or your DataStage administrator user, cd to the DSEngine directory and edit the uvconfig file and set: AUTHENTICATION 1 From the DSEngine directory run, . ./dsenv To set up your environment. Stop the DataStage engine bin/uv -admin -stop. Next, from the same directory run: bin/uv -admin -regen As the root user you will need to you must create a file named dsepam in the /etc/pam.d and add the following content: #%PAM-1.0  # for DataStage PAM authentication  auth include system-auth  account include system-auth  password include system-auth  session include system-auth  6. Restart the DataStage engine.  bin/uv -admin -start -- Thank You. Regards, Guru

The Datastage configuration file is a master control file (a textfile which sits on the server side) for jobs which  describes the parallel system resources and architecture.  The configuration file provides hardware configuration for supporting such architectures as  SMP  (Single machine with multiple CPU , shared memory and disk),  Grid , Cluster or MPP  (multiple CPU, mulitple nodes and dedicated memory per node). DataStage understands the architecture of the system through this file. This is one of the biggest strengths of Datastage. For cases in which you have changed your processing configurations, or changed servers or platform, you will never have to worry about it affecting your jobs since    all the jobs depend on this configuration file for execution. Datastage jobs determine which node to run the process on, where to store the temporary data, where to store the dataset data, based on the entries provide in the configuration file...

Hopefully you all had the chance to read my last posts on the “Basics of Infosphere DataStage”  This post will go through the install of IBM’s Infosphere Suite with tools such as DataStage, QualityStage, Infomation Analyzer, Business Glossary, FastTrack, Information Services Director, and MetaBrokers and Bridges.  In addition, to installing the Infosphere suite applications this instructional post will also show you how to install fix packs and patches to Infosphere.  So let’s get started. Before we can get started you will need to ensure that your computer meets the hardware and software requirements for the product modules that you want to install.  To obtain the most up-to-date information about the installation requirements, see these resources: The system requirements at  www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=14&uid=swg27016382 .  In addition, to your PC requirements you will also need to obtain all the IBM’s Infosphere Suite exe files for your ...

Download the open source MySQL ODBC Connector from MySQL.com. Example file name for 32-bit linux platforms: mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.6-linux-glibc2.3-x86-32bit.tar.gz Extract the file contents to a directory of your choice and make sure the directory is added to the end of the load library path environment variable in your dsenv file. Example for Linux: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/mysql_odbc/lib/; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH After modifying the dsenv file, you must stop and restart the DataStage Engine. Add a DSN entry to your .odbc.ini file, located in $DSHOME. Note that this example contains annotations for the various properties. You must remove these annotations when updating your actual .odbc.ini file.
