What tool did you use to generate that display?

Have you checked your physical and virtual memory and seen to your paging space?

SYSTEM RUNNING OUT OF PAGING SPACE

Something you've tried to do from a DataStage client (through a dsapi_slave process on the server) has hit this limit. Keep the core file in case you need to report the problem to support.

Where can I find some logs of ds server running? I would like to get info such: new client connection, is that connection was succesful/not, how many clients are connected?
Is that possible?
And how to connect to ds server on unix to run DS.TOOLS app?

How this is related to your topic posted

There is no log. You need to take snapshots using netstat or, perhaps, list_readu | grep :

I'm guessing you want to spot the culprit. The list_readu report will show the identity of the client machine as well as the pid of the dsapi_slave process.

I didn't want to make a new topic.
I think that logging errors of ds server engine and resolving some error is related in some way ...

I don't know. I got that error in email from my colleague.

SYSTEM RUNNING OUT OF PAGING SPACE

It is probably cause of the problem. It is running out of memory during use of informix stage.

Is this AIX?

How much real memory do you have and how much paging space? Reason I ask is because IBM still recommends that you have more paging space then real memory. If not, you can run into many problems. Including, not being able to generate dumps, running out of paging space, cannot fork processes, etc...

Check real memory.
$ lscfg | grep mem
+ mem0 Memory

Determine size of mem0
$ lsattr -El mem0 | grep goodsize
goodsize 16384 Amount of usable physical memory in Mbytes False

I have 16384 MB of real memory.

Check paging space size.
$ lsps -s
Total Paging Space Percent Used
17408MB 2%

And, 17408 MB of paging space.
