Getting the below mentioned error when run the bin/dsjob running from unix command prompt. The same is working in UAT environmeny by showing dsjob help screen...

DSApiEnterCriticalSection, pthread_mutex_lock failed: Invalid argument

Appreciate for any suggestions to fix the above error. Thanks.

Welcome aboard. It this a transient problem, or is it reliably reproducible? Mutex locks are how semaphores are implemented on HP-UX, and the lock tables in DataStage are implemented as semaphore sets, which is why you are seeing issues with mutex locks. As to what's causing them, this is possibly merely collisions - too many people running dsjob at the same time, maybe?

It is reproducible. UVConfig parameters are verified in both servers and there is no change found between these two servers.

Any other suggestions!
