how to restrict concurrent logins in datastage

peep · Post by **peep** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 11:23 am

we are trying to restrict concurrent logins in datastage to 20.
we want only 20 uses to login at a point of time in to datastage clients.

I have tried in UVCONFIG.
but I am not sure which value should be changed.
Any thoughts or suggestion ?

Use the Web Console (http://hostname:9080/ibm/iis/console/)

Administrator Tab
Session Management -> Active Sessions
Global Session Properties (on the right)
Maximum Sessions

Note: Do NOT set to zero! It will not let you back in!

Hey Andy,

Is this across all session types, or just DataStage?
So that would also limit concurrent access for scheduled jobs,admin consoles, IA, BG, MWB, etc as well, right?

It's all sessions.

You also have the ability to "quiesce" Information Server, which still allows administrators to log in.

It limits all "client" sessions. In other words - if you see it show up in the "Active Sessions" list it counts.

It does NOT stop an external scheduler from using dsjob to submit jobs in the background. (found that out the hard way).

It also is mutually exclusive with the SessionAdmin.sh -set-maint-mode.
