PX job Environment variable settings issue

Post by xli »

Hi, All

I have problem to understand how the parallel job environment varibles being set.

In the same project, I find all sequence jobs have different environment varibles settings from the individual parallel jobs

eg. the PATH variable setting in sequence job and parallel job are quite different.

In sequence job log ("environment variable settings") :
..........
.......
PATH=/opt/unicenter/autosys/autosys/bin:/opt/ncr/bin:/opt/ncr/bin/sparcv9:/opt/tbuild/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/etc/pipc/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/opt/insight/r/bin:/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/bin:/opt/ncr/bin:/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/bin:/opt/ncr/bin:/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/bin:/opt/ncr/bin:/bin
.........


In parallel job log ("environment varible settings") :
........
......
PATH=/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/Projects/IIS_FDM_PROD/wrapped:/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/Projects/IIS_FDM_PROD/buildop:/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/Projects/IIS_FDM_PROD/RT_BP754.O:/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/DSCAPIOp:/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/RTIOperators:/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/DSParallel:/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/PXEngine/user_osh_wrappers:/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/PXEngine/osh_wrappers:/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/PXEngine/bin:/opt/unicenter/autosys/autosys/bin:/opt/ncr/bin:/opt/ncr/bin/sparcv9:/opt/tbuild/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/etc/pipc/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/opt/insight/r/bin:/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/bin:/opt/ncr/bin:/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/bin:/opt/ncr/bin:/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/bin:/opt/ncr/bin:/bin
..........
.......



As I am going to call ds routine to run parallel command in the sequence job, how can I add "/app/dstage/Ascential/DataStage/PXEngine/bin" in the sequence job environment PATH variable ?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Looks to me like your scheduler (AutoSys) is changing the PATH environment variable to suit its own purposes - putting itself up front.

DataStage jobs pick theirs up from the dsenv script.

For whatever reason (primarily because AutoSys works via dsjob command) the PATH environment variable is not being set to include the contents of dsenv. Get the AutoSys script to include execution of the dsenv script.

Hi, Ray

Yes, we use autosys to schedule datastage jobs, but I got these two log file by running datastage job directly under DS Director.
