Sudhir, In my references to the &PH& directory, I wasnt suggesting that there is a problem here that needs addressing, but rather, that these work files might contain a clue as to what is wrong with your job that keeps hanging. Are you able to tell from Unix if the hanging job is using CPU (...

CLEAR.FILE DATA &PH& is good maintenance practice, and will positively impact on performance, but will have no impact on locking/hanging processes. &PH& contains the output logs for each phantom (background) process. Each job runs as a background process (executing the DSD.RUN progra...

Replied off line. In summary, I didnt have one lying around. Structures of the status records are taught in the Advanced DataStage class, so someone attending this class may end up saving David some work! Dont forget also that the MetaStage product (version 2.0 out real soon!) automatically captures...

Job Hangs As David pointed out, you can get more information about the actual status of each active stage in a job by using the Monitor. Choosing "show links" can provide more information. Double clicking on any line in the Monitor view will reveal the process ID associated with that activ...

A far more efficient way would be to construct a BASIC subroutine to dump the log, and run this either from within a Job Control routine or from within a before-job subroutine. A secondary benefit is that the output can be exactly as you desire. Such a technique is taught on the "Programming wi...

Sudhir To be of any help, we are going to need more information. What version of DataStage are you using? Can you supply the message from the log file for the lock? In the case of the hang, what does a monitor of the job show? What kind of server are you running on? -----Original Message----- From: ...

David asked why we would convert to 3.6 and not 4.0. A fair question. It was recommended by the Help Desk at Informix that we take this approach. The reason is training. Release 3.5 modified the transformer stage a bit, and 4.0 has more features as well. In order to ease folks in, we were advised to...
