Look up "APT_DUMP_SCORE" - when set it will tell you exactly how many processes were started for a job run.

Where to lookup for the above parameter or value , can we see something on unix prompt , when we run a "ps" command.

Thank you all.

Yes I found the variable "APT_DUMP_SCORE" in the administrator under environment variables , under reporting category , which set as false,

if I make the value as true , where will I be able to see how parallel processes are running for a particular job.

is there any to check on unix prompt.

Thank you,

Set APT_PM_SHOW_PIDS to have player processes log their pids. The ppid of each is the section leader on that particular processing node. You can then use dsjob to read the relevant log entries, and ps to see the processes from the UNIX environment.

If you set it to "true" you can see an extra entry in the DataStage log for that run.
