DSXchange

All,

My job has been running for a while, so i stopped that job using DS director,it sends a request to server..but still its running.
Please suggest me is there any other way to stop running job except director.

Thanks in Advance..

You need to know if the job threads are still active, because the status hasn't changed on the Director screen. Telnet to the DS server and login. Use DS.TOOLS to check the processes in a job and see if any are listed. These will have to be killed if the job doesn't die using Director. Then, you'll need to use Director to clear the status of the job.

kcbland can you throw some more light on DS.TOOLS ? Like after login what has to be done exactly and what commands to give to kill a particular job?

Hi,
We should login to Adminstrator first.If you are able login(mean if you have permissions), go "command line" give the DSEngine directory path (home directoy).Enter ../dsenv next enter bin/uv ,next LOGTO ,next LIST.READU EVERY,next ACTIVE Recors Locks(here you will find jobs) LOGTO UV and DS.UNLOCK NODE.
And we have many posts discussed on this.

Please explain me in detail..i.e
Where do i run the DS.TOOLS command and how to kill the listed processes on windows.

Most of what can be done in DS.TOOLS can also be done in Director client Tools > Cleanup Resources. This needs to have been enabled from the DataStage Administrator.
