Clearly at the server side Memory and Hardware Configuration resources are NOT sufficient, at the time when that error occurs. You may, for example, have run out of file units for that process. You may have had too many processes running at that time. Checking resources afterwards contributes nothing to the argument.

I must violently disagree with the advice given by singhald. It is NEVER good practice to kill DataStage phantom processes with kill commands; you should always use the utilities provided with DataStage. In version 8 this means finding the processes in your WAS console, and notifying them there.
