Connectivity to DataStage (81016 error)

[ewartpm]

I can log into DataStage when I select the 'Omit' button. However, when I enter a valid user name and password I get the 81016 error

I also cannot use 'localhost' as the server name, get the same error, I have to use the server name.

Any ideas on how to fix this

Many thanks

Do you run the actual DataStage server on windows or on UNIX?

I'm using Windows 2000 Professional. I have checked all the services, all are running. Just seems strange that I can't specify a user name/password when I login to DS.

This might be a need to get the user name right. Have you tried:

• username
  machinename\username
  domainname\username

Did all three fail?

Try connecting via telnet (Start > Run > telnet machineID); your Windows authentication should be OK here.
Select the UV account.
Shell out to the operating system with the command DOS.
Look for a file called dsinstall.txt. This should show you the identity of the intalling and administrative user. You could try connecting from your client using either of these.
