You need to find out what this means. I wonder if the job instelf is corrupted somehow... can you run the job manually?

OK. Do other jobs run out of cron ok and just this one has an issue or do all cron jobs fail? Honestly, I have no idea what might be going on, just trying to ask intelligent questions to try and narrow this down. You really should put this in front of your official support provider, IMHO.

Below is the entry in Unix crontab

00 02 * * 1,2,3,4,5,6,0 /ardent/uv/DataStage/Projects/amdproj/dsr_sched.sh /a
rdent/uv/DataStage/Projects/amdproj /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngin

In other words, the standard cron entry that DataStage creates. Still think you're going to need to involve your official support provider on this.

If you haven't already, try unscheduling it and then adding it back to the schedule, see if that helps.

There's really no reason to be modifying the automatically generated crontab entries DataStage creates. Never mind the fact that they only have this issue with one particular job, all other scheduled jobs are working properly from what they noted.

I'd still be curious if "re-doing" the schedule helped... or if it changed the crontab entry at all.
