.uvconfig not found

mystuff · Post by **mystuff** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 6:52 am

I got the error

Failed to connect to host: ...
(User name and/or password incorrect(80011))

Making use of search, I followed the following steps.

a) User Name/password are correct
b) unable to login from different client application as well.
c) I can ping to the server.
d) The port 31538 is not blocked.
e) Unable to login through DataStage Administrator.

When I do

Code: Select all

cd `cat /.dshome`
. ./dsenv

works fine till here, but fails when

Code: Select all

bin/uvsh

gives error

Code: Select all

/opt/dsadm/DataStage/DSEngine/.uvconfig: No such file or directory

Not only (.uvconfig) that our admin said that other files (not known to me right now) are as well missing in DSEngine (I am sure no one accessed the directory to delete them). As I was the only person using it and was running through designer.

How could this have happened? Any clues.

The only new thing which was done was that I ran almost 45 -60 jobs simultaneously.

The only thing that could have happened for this symptom to occur is that someone, or some thing, has deleted these files.

If uvconfig and bin/uvregen exist you could try regenerating the .uvconfig file. Let us know whether that's the case.

Otherwise restore your DataStage engine directory from backup. This is why you've been taking these backups!

Anything ideas what could be that something, so that we will try to make sure such things don't happen.

Stop being so certain.

The some thing might be an automated "cleanup" script or a disk utility gone slightly haywire.

My money would still be on someone rather than something.

Getting them to admit it is a whole different game.

Can't you regenerate it?

I checked for uvconfig and bin/uvregen .

They don't exists in the directory. So what shall I do next?

Does the file ".uvconfig.bak" still exist in the install directory? If so, you can start the process of creating a new .uvconfig from that.

To be certain, cd to the install directory and issue this command "ls -al .uv*"
(without the quotes, of course)

I made a

Code: Select all

 ls -al uv* in

DSEngine directory and got the following results

uvconfig.101005.152944.bak
uvconfig.20060308
uvodbc.config

a) How can I recover from backup file
b) Will it solve the problem of other pertaining files as well?

I said "ls -al .uv*"

you missed the dot in front of the uv

subtle, but necessary

Code: Select all

ls -al .uv*

didn't result in any files

Bummer, dude.

Better hunker down and get a backup of your project directory(s) ASAP.

Save off the backup and it looks a re-install is in order.

Best to check with your support provider first before doing the re-install. But get the backup done first.

Once you reinstall, create a project(s) named as they were before "the crash" and then you can copy the backup over those new projects. Have your support provider give you steps for this part.

Don't "they" take system backups? If not, ur skrood (as "they" say). Time to re-install.

They do take backups. Strangely when the system admin restored the backup (from the date when DS was working). Even they didn't have the files. I am following sys admin as to why that could happen.

disk utility gone slightly haywire

Can you explain me this, as I am concerned as to why the restored backup would not have files.
