Hi,
Could you tell me what services run on unix DS server?
dsrpc, telnet and Ds Engine?

You can also have an optional "dsdlockd" process running in addition to the "dsrpcd".

Just one: dsrpc?

Possibly as many as none, but if you stop the dsrpc daemon you will not be able to start any more jobs. The dsrpc daemon runs under the dsrpcd id.

As Arnd noted, you can run the deadlock daemon dsdlockd to detect deadlocks and clean up after defunct (abnormally terminated) processes.

If there are connected DataStage clients you will see dsapi_server processes, which are "agents" of the clients, and possibly dsapi_slave processes that are doing actual work for the dsapi_server processes. (It's a philosophical question as to whether these count as services.)
