I found another surprise last week, now resolved (I learned something new today!). Actually this would have been a surprise starting on version 9.1.2 as well.

Good idea. The ds.rc file was getting called. The dsenv file was also getting called. Here's the kicker... I discovered another file named ds.setenv that was getting called at a higher level. Out of the box, it contains a umask 002 command that was overriding the other files. I found only one search...

DataStage 11.3.1 and umask 007 command

All server tiers are running on the same computer and using the AIX user registry with registry sharing. I have changed the default umask 002 to umask 007 in the $DSHOME/sample/ds.rc file and restarted everything with no result. Next I added umask 007 into the $DSHOME/dsenv file and restarted everyt...

I used to see a lot of defunct processes years and years ago. At that time, our unix admin had told me that rebooting was the only way to clear them up. I guess the software has improved of the years because I had almost forgotten about the defunct processes.

As far as I know, there is no discount available for repeating the exam. Definitely not free. You can, however, take the practice test online at any time for $30. If your employer has a premium support contract, then they can request up to 5 (or some number) certification exam vouchers (free) per ye...

It's good that you can answer your own questions! MDM and Info Server have similar bundled components like WAS and DB2, so, yes it is supported. We do not yet run high availability but may in the future. There is an option to license MDM using Resource Value Units (RVU) instead of Processor Value Un...

The main point is that the Ops Console database already has the data you need. Why reinvent the wheel?

Craig, thanks for the forum info. Ray, thanks for the single sign on / SPNEGO web Authentication link. Very interesting. That may be a good way to go! I will have to look into it and cross my fingers for new levels of dialog and cooperation from the Active Directory folks. :wink: I hope in time that...

How to bypass BG or IGC authentication for anonymous access

I did not find a forum for Business Glossary, so am posting my planning-related questions here. Which forum is best for this? 1. Has anyone here tested the following workaround to allow anonymous access to browse and search Business Glossary 8.7 content with any successes to share or pitfalls to be ...

It sounds like Support did the right thing. Perhaps the engineer you need is on vacation or is busy working issues affecting multiple customers. Here is the article link.

For comparison, I'm running 11.3.1.0 with no patches, on AIX 7.1, and the CPU% bounces around and looks realistic. It may be tricky to match it up with topas due to timing--intervals and averages. In topas, add User%, Kern%, and Wait% together. Perhaps the bug is on your AIX side and could use an AI...
