Hi, there

We have just installed a new DataStage engine, tried to import whole project

What version of DataStage on which platform?

Failure to compile imported jobs usually is a
permissions issue if youre on Unix. Since you state
its a clean install, I would guess that you havent
put the "umask" entry into the services startup script
ds.rc. Putting umask 007 eliminates almost all
permissions issues people have on a fresh install. If
you didnt put the umask entry into the ds.rc script
then this is mostly likely the cause of your problems.

Otherwise, I would guess that either the project
directory doesnt have write permissions, or that the
supporting job files created during import do not have
the permissions. This happens when the userid who
imported the job differs from the userid trying to
compile the jobs. If the umask setting umask 007 is
used, then all jobs are compileable/editable by either
the owner or the group for the created job. If youre
neither than you cant edit or compile a job. Check
that out next.

Good luck!
