I had this - tried to work around it, with little joy. Permissions fine on all the relevant directories etc.

In the end, I had to delete (manually) and recreate the dataset, at which point the error ceased. I think it was a corrupted pointer.

Setting user priorities

Hi folks, Is it possible to set up a Linux installation to have specific priorities for individual users. For example, all jobs submitted by dsadm will have higher priority by default than those submitted by fbloggs? I know about nice/renice, but those rely on entering manual commands (and on knowin...

Thanks Craig.

I'm not aware of a deadlock daemon, and so will have a chat with the unix admin to see if we can get anything put in place.

Thanks again for your time, much appreciated.

Thanks Craig. I will definately push those suggestions forward.

I know that it is impossible to make accurate diagnosis without looking at the server yourself, but do you think that the general slowing down of the server could be attributable to these disconnects?

Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply.

They log into directly to the server. They have also complained that at times it is taking 5 mins+ to refresh logs in Director, so the network speed transferring data from client to server might be slow.

Inactivity timeout is set to 'Do not timeout'

Thanks,

Poor performing DataStage server - 'hanging' connections

Hi All, We are running an instance of DataStage 7.5 on a Linux box with 4 CPUs. The box is accessed both locally in the UK, and by a team in India. Since the team in India came on line, the performance of the box seems to have degraded badly. The slow down happens over a couple of days, and can norm...

Same here, with three nodes. Sounds like your tnsnames entry isn't correct... not wrong, just not correct for DataStage it seems. Ask your DBA to 'fix' it for you. I am pasting an extract of the TNS entries created by our DBA, along with his notes: " We can use any one of the following TNS ent...
