What can you delete to free up disk space in IBM InfoSphere Information Server when disks are becoming full? What to do ???? Here are some things you can do to clean up space: Clear the &PH& file in the Project directory. There is a &PH& directory in each DataStage project directory, which contains information about active stages that is used for diagnostic purposes. The &PH& directory is added to every time a job is run, and needs periodic cleaning out. To clear the file from within DataStage: Ensure there are no DataStage jobs running anywhere on the system by running "ps -ef | grep dsrpc" From the DataStage Administrator, go to the Projects page, select the project whose file you want to clear and click the Command button. The Command Interface dialog box opens. Type the following into the command field: CLEAR.FILE &PH& (all uppercase) Click Execute to run the command and clear the file. For additional information, go to  Command ...

How should we manage cleaning up the &PH& directories for my DataStage projects? Can the process be automated? Files in the  &PH&  directories under DataStage project directories store runtime information when jobs are run and need to be cleared out periodically.  

Data Sets sometimes take up too much disk space. This technote describes how to obtain information about datasets and how to delete them.  

To start IBM Information Server and WebSphere Application services:    1. Start WebSphere Application Server. Windows Click  All Programs  >  IBM WebSphere  >  Application Server [v6/v7/..]  >  Profiles >  default  >  Start the server . If you installed IBM Information Server in a different WebSphere Application Server profile, you must select the correct profile. Your path will vary if you installed IBM Information Server in a different location or used a different profile.   C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\profiles\default\bin\startServer.bat server1 -username <WAS_Username> -password <WAS_Password>

To shut down the IBM Information Server services and WebSphere Application Server services: 1.        Stop the following services:   ASB  Agent, Logging Agent, DataStage  Telnet Service, DSRPC Server, and DataStage Engine Resource Service .  The engine services will only be present if you installed both the services tier and the engine tier on the same machine. Windows To stop the services: a.        Log in with a user that has local administrator privileges.       b.        Stop these services in the order that they appear in the table. Note:  On Windows, you can use the Services Administrative Tool or the  sc  command line tool to stop services.  Order that services must be stopped before backing up IBM Information Server Service Full Name Service Short Name Process Name DSRPC Service dsrpc dsrpcd...

1) ASB Agent ASB agent is a Java background process run on the server or on the computer where the DataStage engine and client tiers are installed. When a service that runs on the Service tier receives a service request that needs processing on Information Server components then this agent receives this request and pass it on. In Linux, it is running as daemons that are named ASBAgent. In Windows, running as services that are named ASBAgent. ASB agents include: Connector access services agent Conveys service requests between the ODBC driver components on the engine tier and the connector access services component on the services tier. InfoSphere Information Analyzer  agent Conveys service requests between the engine components on the engine tier and the  InfoSphere Information Analyzer  services component on the services tier. InfoSphere Information Services Director  agent Conveys service requests between the engine components on the engin...
