HI

I tried to Unlock the jobs and i used some standard methods from Director and Unix and i am not successful.

I don't have Admin privilages as i am a developer.

In Director i had done cleanup resource and logout the processes, based on PID.

Also in UNIX box i had killed the process by PID, but it was getting an message ----- No such Process.

Can u let me know any alternative method to unlock the job with out ADMIN rights.

Version Datastage 7.5.2 server

I dont think you need admin right for this. Double check your process ID.

Alternatively you can login to your Admin client (As a developer), and try to kill it from there, with job name I guess.

What sort of a lock do you have a problem with? Indiscriminantely logging out processes is not a good idea. Also, do you have the deadlock daemon running?

The issue is i am not able to export the jobs (.dsx)

it was throughing error like , the job is being is used by another user.

and there were no users currently.

so i want to clear the lock or cleanup resource from Director or UNIX.

@Arun, i even tried in administrator, can you let me know how to proceed?

Are you not able to open the job as well or just only the at the time of export?

If you can open the job, try compiling the job or a force compile.

To the best knowledge I have, cleanup resources is the only way to find the PID for a job. And all you need to do, is the export for now, you can try to create a copy job (I hope this works even if it is locked) and export it and rename the job inside dsx before import.

I would suggest you search here for DS.TOOLS which is another mechanism find PIDs and handle all aspects of lock management in your version. You can run this from the Administrator client.
