"phantom" is the process name for the process to run DataStage jobs in the background. You cannot change that. If you are running 100% cpu then you must have a big query or not much RAM or even a slow processor. You need to give us more details:

1. DataStage version
2. OS and version.
3. Hardware
4. How much RAM
5. List SQL statement

Hi,
sometimes (on windows at least) when you stop a job with hash files being loaded to memory they get corrupted and then any attempt to run that job will freez your system and take 100% CPU.
you must first fix or delete theese files.

also after any aborted job it would be wise to search for any zombies.
