DSXchange

Hi,
My Server job runs fine when I run it from director. But once I schedule the job to run in future. It got aborted with message "Failed to allocate environment handle 'ENV'". Can anyone please suggest solution.
Thanks,

Odd... what operating system? I assume you are using Director to schedule the job, yes? And 'in future' means what - one time or a recurring number of times?

Hi,
Operating System is UNIX, I am scheduling my job (for daily run of job) from director.

Do you get the same error when you use the dsjob command from the UNIX command line to start your job?

Hi Arnd,
My job runs fine when I run it with dsjob command.

Know that from your post. Was wondering who's it was - HP-UX, AIX, etc. And the other question was to ascertain if you were into 'cron' or 'at' land. It will use cron for recurring schedules like 'every Monday' while 'at' is used for one-time runs - tomorrow at 8am, for instance.

Hi chulett,
The OS is AIX. I am not using 'cron' or 'at'. I am just scheduling my job from director for evryday (ex:- to run by 7 am in the morning).

When you schedule a job from the director in a default UNIX environment it will use "cron"; DataStage does not have it's own scheduler.

Once you've scheduled the job, look at your crontab to see what the actual command is that is being issued. Also remember that this process needs to have the dsenv set and find the dsjob command in it's command path.

Probably create a small script that sources the dsenv file and then executes your job.

ENV is a reserved word - it's the DataStage command for getting and setting environment variables. Use a different name.
