Project Parameter file

[rasi]

Hi

When I am trying to logon using Datastage Administrator with dsadm account. I get the following error "Cannot open file UFD_". After hitting ok button it goes in and inside that it says "DSR.ADMIN Failed to open Project parameter file". Any help on this is much appreciated. Also this project was protected before.

Regards

The project parameters file is called DSParams and DSParams.keep and it can be found in the project home directory. You need to check the read permissions on the project directory and on these two files for the login you are using. I only ever log into the Administrator tool as dsadm.

Thanks for your reply. I am using the dsadm user for Administration purpose. And found that DSParams has read access and I can't see DSParams.keep file in the project folder.

Hi,

Try to Log into UV shell Instead of Datastage Administrator.

$ cd `cat /.dshome`
$ pwd
/opt/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine
$ . ./dsenv
$ bin/uvsh
Once Logged in:
>LOGTO <yourprojectname>

you can Issue the Admin Commands in UV shell.

Hope this Helps.

It could be a bug, but I suspect you've lost a VOC entry that needs to be there.

What it's trying to do is to open a file unit on a file called "&UFD&", which is a pointer to "the current directory". Check that this item - and possibly one called "UFD_" - exists in the VOC file of the project.

If it can't open "&UFD&" then it can't read DSParams in the (DataStage BASIC) helper subroutine DSR.ADMIN.

DSParams.keep only exists if a change has been made to DSParams, for example by changing the log auto-purge settings from the Administrator client. DSParams should be writable by the dsadm user unless you have made root the only DataStage administrator.
