Hi
This morning all the five jobs launched on the PPD server were stuck in QUEUED status.
I stopped the wml using stopwlm.cmd and restarted it using startwlm.cmd.
The probleme is solved but startwlm.cmd open a window that i can't close wihtout stopping the wlmserver.
So i have to stay connected on the server which is bad.
Any idea to solve this ?
Thank you.

Sounds like you need the Windows equivalent of the Unix nohup command, something like this. That or just manage it from the Services control panel object... you can get directly there by running services.msc from the Start menu.

No clue but I can't imagine it would be all that hard to find.

I found this
The workload management process, WLMServer, is automatically started and stopped as part of the DataStage Engine startup.

Maybe there is no service but a process who start with the engine.

Maybe. I'll have to leave that to others as I've never had the "pleasure" of working with DataStage on a Windows server. :wink:

Hi
The Ibm support tells me that startwlm.cmd is not the best way to start the WLMServer.
It's better to stop the engine and to restart it.
Thank you
