Get authorized. Talk to your SysAdmin. Make sure you have cron access as well while you're at it.

Your SysAdmin should know about at.allow and cron.allow files. If not, get a competent SysAdmin.

It sounds like the unix admin went out of their way to disable scheduling capabilities...

No, they just need the scheduling user added to cron/at.allow, something that doesn't typically happen 'out of the box'.

Ah, I thought scheduling was enabled by default...

user dsadm has UID set to 0 (equivalent to root) which is not a standard to client. so they removed access to schedule jobs or cron access.
changed UID 0 to 286 and given access .
Now we can able to schedule jobs through datastage director.

That reminds me, a past unix admin I worked with had a custom license plate on his car....
UID 0
