Running job with dsjob when user does not have permissions

vskr72 · Post by **vskr72** » Sat Jan 14, 2012 9:42 am

The user that I log into does not have permissions. So, I as suggested to use sudo to implement it. When I used sudo, and see the output, I get the return code value as 0 and the job is not running. Not sure what this means. Does this implementation ever work?

Code: Select all

sudo -l -u dsadm ${DSHOME}/bin/dsjob -run -wait -warn 0 -jobstatus -mode NORMAL ${DSProj} ${JobName} > ${sTmpFile}
+ sudo -l -u dsadm /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob -run -wait -warn 0 -jobstatus -mode NORMAL DEV_EDW master

   iDSRetCode=$?
+ iDSRetCode=0

Pls advice for any alternatives.

Are you getting anything in ${sTmpFile} ?
And also use either -wait or -jobstatus switch, but not both.

THis is what I get in the TmpFile

/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob -run -wait -warn 0 -jobstatus -mode NORMAL DEV_EDW master

Please re-read my previous post carefully:
And try the below command in the shell:(Do not execute as it's .please pass the parameters accordingly)

Code: Select all

sudo -l -u dsadm ${DSHOME}/bin/dsjob -run -wait -warn 0  -mode NORMAL ${DSProj} ${JobName}

Run this and post what you are getting.

Why are you seeking to bypass the fact that you do not have permission? Perhaps there's a reason they have not given you permission. To test this theory, request permission.

Without the Sudo I realized that I do not have permissions and I requested. So they said they gave me permission and that it will only work with the sudo option. The way they suggested is before you call the dsjob command put 'sudo -l -u dsadm'. This the little background.

Try it without the "-l" in the sudo command for grins.

Use the -user and -password option of an ID that does have authority, also... I will second the motion of DON'T RUN IF YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RUN.

Most likely because you didn't source dsenv.

Source your dsenv file and try again.

Have your admin put your ID in the same group as the dsadm ID and make sure group read and execute permissions are set on the dsjob file.
