Failed to connect to host: 162.44.9.87, project: UV
(The connection was refused or the RPC daemon is not running (81016))

check your *.adm files in the unix project directory if you have an access right to them. If not let your UNIX admin set them for you again (chmod)

Timeout usually indicates that the network is not possible to deliver a request or response within a specific interval. It is standard client/server programming practice to include such a timeout. The connection timeout for DataStage clients is not configurable.

Now all you have to do is track down where the fault lies. Is your LAN saturated? (Does it take a long time to do other things, such as resolve a computer name, or map a network drive? Get in touch with your friendly network administrator for assistance.

Hi Nag
I found this problem once.
In my case i am running my client as Admin ( windows primary administator) and solution is i created a user under the admin group and tried to connect . This problem is solved but my version of DS is 6.x.
Try this
1. create a user under the adminstrator group
2. log as the user.
3. try to conntact again..
I hope this will work

hi
check to make sure your Data Stage process on the unix server is
still running,type this:
ps -ef|grep -v "grep"|grep unirpcd

you should see it return with a line with the unirpcd process. If not
you need to start it.

The ps command is not a lot of value if the server is on an NT/2K/XP box! [:)]

On Windows, the unirpcd process can be seen via Task Manager, and whether it is running or not can also be seen via an appropriate applet in Control Panel (Services if you must, or DataStage (UniVerse) is better targeted).

Yes, I saw that, but thought to help others on the Forum who aren't by showing them the Windoze alternative.

How do you restart unirpcd? I am having this problem.

I'm on 5.2.

I've tried the following:

ps -ef|grep -v "grep"|grep unirpcd
[Nothing on the bad sever, other servers show the service running]

cd `cat /.uvhome`/bin
nohup unirpcd > /dev/null 2>&1 &
[just a random number, service still not running]

cd /datastage/DataStage/unishared
nohup unirpc > /dev/null 2>&1 &
[don't have permission, even though I am using the DS super user account]

Check this post for information regarding turning on debug mode to see why the service is not starting. You'll need to translate all references of 'dsrpcd' to 'unirpcd', but everything else should apply.
