Hello,

We have DataStage 8.1 on the AIX platform. I am trying to generate report of the DataStage jobs, but keep geting error message like "Failed to Import Report". (I tried clicking File > Generate Report with default style option). I tried for both parallel and server style jobs but not able to generate report.

Wondering, anyone have encountered this error before? And how to resolve it.

Thanks,
Gaurav

Make sure you have write permission to the folder where your DataStage client is installed. The reports have to write the intermediate XML on your client machine, even though the final report ends up in the common metadata repository.

Thanks Ray...

Its strange though..Let me look on the permission side and let u all guys know if I get any success.

Thanks again

To modify the Reporting workspace directory issue the following commands:

DataStage Version 8.5
========================

cd /tmp
chown -R <WAS-non-root user> informationServer

Note: do the same on Backup/Stand by nodes if you have HA configuration

DataStage V8.0.1
===============

cd /tmp
chown -R <WAS-non-root user> WDISuite

Note: do the same on Backup/Stand by nodes if you have HA configuration

DataStage V8.1
==============

cd <install-folder>/IBM/InformationServer
chown -R <WAS-non-root user> ASBServer

I think running from command line is easier. It saves report on client.

is this problem resolved? please let me know if the above suggestions worked out? I'm also facing the same issue
