Administrator 8.7 client not showing environment variables

rmrama · Post by **rmrama** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 10:47 pm

Hello and thank you for reading my question.

I've just completed an installation of Datastage EE 8.7 on Red Hat Linux 6.2.

Signing into Administrator client, I notice that the Environment button opens up an almost empty grid. Only the Users section is visible but empty (which is ok as I have not keyed anything in).

Is this an intended feature in 8.7? Or am I looking at a potential ticket with IBM?

PS: The dsparams file is available with values in the project folder.

Regards,
Rama

Are you logging in as a user with DataStage and QualityStage Administrator role?

Hello Ray,

Thanks for replying. Yes, I logged in as isadmin, the user that is created during installation.

This user has admin rights and at the OS level is mapped to root.

Rama

Is the client side code patched to the same release level as the server side?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for replying. The client side is at the base of 8.7.0.0 and so is the server.

[dsadm@vrptisdshcl01 bin]$ ./uv -admin -version
DataStage 8.7.0.0

Rama

All,

IBM has confirmed a bug via Support.

Link - http://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview. ... wg1JR41828

I'll be applying the fix with my fingers crossed.

Fix worked but not before the workaround mentioned at the bottom of the link was also executed.

So before installing DS 8.7, patch the glibc libraries (workaround) at the OS level first. Otherwise, the DSParams template file will be created in a corrupt state during installation of DS.
