Hi,

I cannot unlock job with command UNLOCK INODE <> ALL after get inode number with LIST.READU ALL.

This message appear:
Cannot get exclusive access to executable file for job Load_Cust_S

Anybody know solution for this problem?

Tks!

Where, and with what authority (login), are you attempting to use the UNLOCK command?

Try using the Cleanup Resources option in Director.

Hi, you probably know this and I don't know if it's an option in your environment, but if you just want the problem to go away, stop and restart your Datastage server and the lock will go away. I am pretty sure locks happen for the current running Datastage instance

Sure, but that will solve one problem and probably create a slew of other ones.

Your error would imply that the job is currently running... is it? As Ray noted, Cleanup Resources from the Director client can be used to 'logout' (kill) that process. And to release any stray locks as well.
