Another popular question for the Datastage Certification exam:

You submit a job from DataStage Director and then log onto your DataStage Linux server to issue the command "ps -ef | grep ds" and receive the following screen: Which process is a player?

P.S. is there anyway to attach a file to a post on this forum?
I'd like to upload a jpg image to show what the ps -ef|grep ds shows

The Img or "Image tags" are used to link images into posts. Find any of the many free file hosting / sharing sites out there and upload your screenshot then use the tags to link back to the URL they give you. Heck, most will build the image tags for you, ready to go.

Hi,
According to my understanding Section Leader forks Player processes,so Player process should look like below:-

Code: Select all

$ ps -ef|grep ds|grep APT_PMsectionLeaderFlag
