DataStage initiated unix processes

Post by Hongqing Tang »

I think that by default, when datastage start or initiate the unix porcesses, they are under dsadm no matter who runs the job. How about the unix scripts that are invoked by a datastge job or sequence? Do they also belong to dsadm? How do we change this default so that those processes and the unix scripts will be under the user who actually ran the jobs?

It depends on which user is used to start DataStage.

We start DataStage services using user: dsadm. Does that mean a)the processes spin out by the PXEngine will be under dsadm? b) the unix scripts processes that are called by a sequence or a job's before or after routine are also owned/under by dsadm?
