Hello everyone, I have seen a lot of talk on this forum regarding the Datastage deadlock daemon and how it can clean up after defunct processes. How do I use this and where can I find more info? Can I use it with PX jobs.

Thanks for your time!!

The kind of lock managed by the deadlock daemon are not set by parallel jobs. They are set by connected clients, server jobs and job sequences only.
To use, change the Start option in dsdlockd.config (in your DataStage Engine directory) to 1, and re-start DataStage.

I there something on the PX side of the fence that is comparable to the deadlock daemon?

Thanks

No. The PX engine does not set the kind of lock managed by the DataStage deadlock daemon.
As far as a utility for cleaning up defunct PX processes is concerned I do not know, someone else will need to answer that. I am not aware of one.
