I am not able to login in UNIX box with userid xxx where datastage server is installed.Cron is used as scheduler.
Job was scheduled with the userid xxx..Cron is not able to call the job.
But I am able to login in Datastage director,designer with that userid.
Please suggest.

Talk to your Sys Admin - this could very well be on purpose. We have a userid that can only be used to authenticate a DataStage session but cannot be used to log directly onto the box. It's meant to be a 'read only' type account for DataStage use only.
Not sure exactly how they managed it, but I assume it has something to do with the fact that if I check '/etc/passwd' that user, it has their initial shell set to '/bin/false'.
If that's what is going on, I'd suggest you have your SA 'unschedule' anything from cron under that userid and redo the scheduling from a proper account.
