Datastage Director Refresh and Compile error

[SURA]

I am using 8.7. I created a new job and compiled. In the designer client it said, compiled successfully whereas in director shown not compiled.

I thought of config issue.

Oddly enough, I've been seeing this problem since yesterday on one of the 8.7 machines here. Whe I manually do a "refresh" in the Director the correct state is displayed. But if I don't, the job status is "not compiled" but the director merrily refreshes the state of other running jobs. I will have to look into that problem further today.

I thought of config issue.

I thought of bug.

I am thinking about that client issue or else we need to apply 8.7 FP1 Server and client too.

I have seen the problem demonstrated again today, with the same client and the same settings (refresh rate in the director) everything works as expected on one 8.7 machine but on the other, which I believe was installed with the same response file as the first machine, the director doesn't reflect the "compiled" status of a job.

Offhand the only difference I can think of is that I'm admin on the development machine and only a lowly viewer on the production machine, where the error manifests itself.

Has anyone had a solution for this issue yet?
We have just upgraded from 8.5 to 8.7FP1 on a Windows platform and we are seeing the same problem.
We have raised a PMR with IBM but I'm not holding my breath.

Welcome aboard, Gavin

Does a manual refresh (Ctrl+R) in Director correct the status for you?

Hi All

IBM have responded to this issue with a patch for our Windows 8.7 Fixpack 1 environment. The patch number is JR45546.

I don't know if they have also provided a fix for Unix installs as well but this patch has fixed the issue for our install.

Note that it is a server side patch only.
