Installation of DS on Linux

[saikrishna]

Hi

We have installed DataStage server edition on Linux box using non-root user.
we couldnt see any network sockets in Listen mode for DataStage services using netstat -a|grep dsrpc command.

According to the document, we need to do following two things after non-root install.
1. $DSHOME/scripts/DSEservices.sh -add
2. $DSHOME/scripts/DSEenable_impersonation.sh

While running the first script under root, we are getting the following error:

$DSHOME/scripts/DSEservices.sh -add
DataStage Engine must be shutdown before this script
can be executed. Update of /etc/services aborted.


As there is no DS service running (which we confirmed from netstat -a|grep dsrpc), why are we getting the above error saying that DS Engine must be shutdown...

Can you please help us on this.

Thanks
Sai

That's not how you check to see if the 'engine' is running. Shut it down and then execute your commands.

I tried using
$DSHOME/bin/uv -stop -admin
to shut down DSEngine?

Is it right way to do ?

How do I check the DSEngine running or not?

Thanks

Dont know the reason...
But when I tried again the following command after some time, it worked fine.
$DSHOME/bin/uv -stop -admin

Then I made the necessary post install things..which worked fine..

One thing I didnt understand is, why were we not able to see that status in netstat -a|grep dsrpc?

Thanks

That checks for client connections and if the 'rpc' deamon is running. The engine can start but it can fail, which I assume is what happened to you. What does that check show now?

I have used the uv command wrongly in the following manner to stop ade
$DSHOME/bin/uv -stop -admin

instead of
$DSHOME/bin/uv -admin -stop

Umm... ok, true. So where are we at with this? Do you still have a question you are trying to get answered?

[saikrishna]

No..I got the answer.

Thanks
