running a job/sequence creates client processes

We have DataStage 8.0.1FP1a on UNIX Solaris 10. When my developers run jobs/sequences via control-M using dsjob command I see there are lots of client connection processes (dsapi, dscs) on UNIX. I don't see any client connection in Information Server console. I also see netstat values like ESTABLISH...

The DDLs are exactly same.. The developer exported the dsx as executable. After trying all the debugging and investigations - which took us no where..we exported/imported the design version of the job, compiled in prod and it works...

You are correct. Each environment has own server.
The ODBC drivers are of the same version.
The entry in .odbc.ini for the connection is also identical except for Oracle source/target server name, SID etc.
Oracle client is also of the same version..

I tried that...but the output still is almost same without spaces in between the values that I would get from LIST.READU ALL.

XMETALOCKINFO had the user info but I am struggling to connect one of the column to identify what client was used.

So, how do I get the information about locks held by users per project/client type.
My basic purpose of this is to:
1. Manger users per project, leverage budget etc.
2. Capacity planning - user licenses
