Note, however, that engine credential users are regular operating system users (assuming you're not using PAM). These users ordinarily do have expiring passwords, which can only be changed by superuser changing the password policy for any such user.

Is it possible that the password for the WAS user has changed since it was installed? If so, it would probably be useful to run AppServerAdmin.sh to reset the registered owner (and password) of WAS.

This tech note provides full instructions.

Did you run the job? (Have to ask.) Did the job itself report row counts into the DB2 Connector? If 0, is there a constraint in the Transformer stage that might prevent the rows from being sent (I'm assuming here that you have a Transformer stage)? Do you have a reject link for the DB2 Connector sta...

Use two Sort stages. In the first generate the Key Change column. In the second, mark the first sort key as not to be sorted because it's already sorted.

Perhaps add an echo command to dsenv so you can be sure that that part of it is being executed.

I've not encountered this but I've never needed to set umask to 007. Not much else happens after dsenv; just the project LOGIN paragraph but it, by default, does not include a umask command. Perhaps the user's .profile script?

You see what I mean? The posted answers have made assumptions about what is meant by terms in the questions. I preferred to wait until those ambiguities had been resolved. I'm still waiting. And none of the given answers is complete.

My guess is that DS_RunJob.sh simply adds all the other command line options needed to get dsjob to run a job.

As Craig asks, if you can post the code of DS_RunJob.sh, we'll have a better idea.

Here's how I might go about answering these. (Usual disclaimer about all my own work, opinions not necessarily those of IBM or my employer, etc., etc.) (1) Depends what is meant by "something". (2) Yes. There is a difference. (The question seeks no more than that.) (3) Usually "Data S...
