Hi All,

While i m working on jobs suddenly connection got broken and by the time i have opened some jobs in designer. I have tryed to kill the processes using cleanup resources option in Director(By selecting the process id and clicked on logout button) , but i m unable to kill the processes.Process id's are still exsting and im unable to open the Jobs which are opened when connection got broken.

Can any one help me telling any other way to kill the proccesses.

Thanks in Advance,

Sasidhar,

It means that you have some 'Phantom' jobs. If the DataStage server is on Unix then the only way to get back the jobs is to restart the server.

Hope this helps

A Server restart is not always necessary, but it is the simplest method. Just remember that when killing UNIX processes never use a kill -9. If this happens to you often, please activate the deadlock daemon in DataStage and that way it will remove stale locks for you.

More information on the deadlock daemon and it's use are found in the documentation, but this is the cut-and-paste from the installation guide:

Deadlock Daemon - Windows and UNIX
The default state of the daemon is OFF. You must change this to ON in
order to use the daemon. To do this, you must change the value of the
start variable in the dslockd.config file in the DataStage server
directory.

You can also follow the following process if u hv access to DS Administrator

Using DS administrator.
select project wherein the job is locked
select COMMAND button
type DS.TOOLS
select 5 (Administrative tasks)
select 4 (list all locks)
you might need to resize the window to view all the data
write down the PID of the job that is locked
once all have been listed you will return to the main menu

select 7 (clear locks held by process)
type the PID of the job that is locked
confirm with 'Y'
