DataStage client tools over VPN and/or slow network

Hi all,
as posted about 'elsewhere' recently, sometimes the client tools give errors like

Error calling subroutine: DSR_EXECJOB (Action=5); check DataStage is set up correctly in project <project-name>
(The connection is broken (81002))
Error calling subroutine: DSR_PROJECT (Action=7); check DataStage is set up correctly in project <project-name>
(The connection is broken (81002))

We usually see this is our network becomes overloaded.

Has anybody experience of using the tools remotely over a VPN, and/or over a satellite broadband with latency ?

Does this type of error happen frequently under those circumstances?

regards,
B.

It is annoying though. It happens even when the connection is local. VPNs are not perfect. They drop connections too. There is some clean up too to release locks and other problems left behind because of a poor connection. I would imagine this happens the farther away the connection like off shore. I would expect it. I would also make sure I know how to recover. I would also expect to have admin rights to fix issues.
