HI I HAVE JOB WHICH IS GOT LOCKED AND I WANT TO UNLOCK IT

I FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCEDURE WHIC1) Login in into the Datastage server box from the command line

as datastage adminstrator
2) goto Home directory i.e DSEngine directory
3) enter . ./dsenv
4) enter bin/uv or enter bin/dssh
5) LOGTO Project [project is your project name]
6) LIST.READU EVERY
7) Under ACTIVE Recors Locks, you have a Item_ID column, where

you can find the job you want to unlock
get the node number [column 2] and the user number [column 4]

for the locked job you have identified
9) enter LOGTO UV
10) DS.UNLOCK NODE nodenumber USER usernumber ALL
11) Press Q to quit from Command mode to Unix mode H IS MENTIONED BELOW


Here i got a error when i tried to do DS.UNLOCK saying

verb 'ds.unlock' is not in your voc

so i found another post which says i have to copy unlock command to voc
like this1. SET-FILE UV VOC UV.VOC
2. COPYI FROM UV.VOC TO VOC 'UNLOCK'

Then i tried to do the same thing

but unfortunately i did this

set-file uv.voc to voc 'unlock'

and it asked me some qname: something like this then i did this

copyi from uv.voc to voc 'unlock' it didnt work out.

now i tried to do the correct process and got the following error

>SET-FILE UV.VOC TO VOC
VOC is already in VOC as type F. Cannot overwrite.
>COPYI FROM UV.VOC TO VOC 'UNLOCK'
Unable to open "UV.VOC" file.


Can anyone help me understand whats going on and what i should do to comeout of this situation.

SET-FILE and SETFILE are different commands. The "TO" is not part of the command, it is displayed as a prompt requiring further input.

Execute the DS.TOOLS menu instead, and use the unlock facilities therein. This saves you fiddling with arcane demands that can do damage.

Thanks RAY

I CORRECTED IT AND NOW I CAN UNLOCK JOBS.
