start problems

[inadeau]

Hi,

Since yesterday, for all jobs I'm running (regarless of if it is Server or PX, access the BD or not), I'm getting the following errors :

Log as Info :
Contents of phantom output file => start problems

or

Log as Warning :
start problems
DataStage Job 635 Phantom 30268
DataStage Phantom Finished

I hope this will sound familiar to you.... thanks in advance !

Check your DS project's file system to make sure you're not out of space. If nothing runs, that's usually the first issue. Next, verify that userids/permissions haven't changed on the project/jobs.

Both things are OK....

Could it be DataStage that needs to be re-Index ?

Thanks for your help !

Hi,
1. You can also check DSD.RUN file for &PH& to get process id for this datastage job.
Try to kill this process id.

2. You may also try to start the datastage daemon again.

This is a DataStage Admins responsibility but here is what I would do:

1. Execute a ps -ef | grep -I pha to determine if any phantom Server Jobs are running.
2. If there are phantoms then do a kill -9 on them.
3. Once this is done then stop the DataStage.

Thank you Ted for your help !

I searched for phantom, but I couldn't found any... finally we had to re-index the datastage server and it solved the problem.

Another thing that can cause start-up delays is a very full &PH& directory. You should regularly purge &PH& of old entries.
