The obvious ones.

The DataStage RPC daemon listens on port number 31538 for connection requests from DataStage clients. If this daemon (dsprcd) is not running, there is no way you will be able to connect.

Use

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep dsrpcd | grep -v grep

to find out.

If dsrpcd is running on the server, then connection refused usually has something to do with network security. For example, the dsrpcservices file might not allow your client machine to connect to DataStage.

If you find out it is not running, and bouncing your server doesn't magically fix it, check this thread for one of several examples on how to start it up in debug mode. This will help identify the problem. Not necessarily the solution, but at least the problem.
