I am using DataStage 7.5.1A on AIX 5.3.

a problems is that some jobs have aborted on schedule.

I checked log in Director. There are just one message. Job has aborted because of Timeout[-14].


Some one said to me the reason is that too many jobs to run concurrently.

So I arranged schedule. so the Maximum concurrent running jobs are not over 10.

this Machine has 16 CPU (AIX-P690)

I do not think too many job to run concurrently.

Now I have suspected DataStage 7.5.1A has some problem to run jobs or AIX 5.3.

If You have same experinece with me.
Please share resolution.

This error is thrown when too many processes are running on your server and new jobs can not be started.

I have seen this error during peak hrs from dsjob command.
I think the cause is same here :idea:

It's not necessarily the number of jobs. It's the number of processes (whether DataStage processes or not) that can cause this. It can also be abnormal amounts of time waiting for a resource (for example, a database instance may be extremely busy, not have enough listeners, or simply not be started).

A DataStage server job containing three Transformer stages running in three separate streams will generate four processes. Other active stages (and IPC, link collector and link partitioner stages) will also generate processes.

You need to search for and eliminate each of these possibilities.
