Since two weeks ago, we found that director datastage scheduler module doesn't work correctly.
All jobs scheduled to run only no longer work .

Please help us to find solution for this issue .
Best regards

Can you share more details? Are you getting any error message after the job triggers? OR The job/sequence not even getting triggered?

Report to your UNIX/DS admin as they can narrow down the root cause quickly.

Hi Kandyshandy,


unfortunately, we have no logs because any scheduling job doesn't run.

We don't understand.

Best regard !

Since you are on UNIX, the scheduler will use cron. After scheduling a job with the director, have someone check the crontabs to see what is scheduled to start; and one can also check the cron logs to see what happened (or didn't, as the case may be).

Our datastage application is in Unix Solaris 8 environment.

I use command tail -f /var/adm/messages to see logs and i obtaint row below:

SRVLUM-DWH2 is the hostname.

/u05 is the Engine directory where we have stored different datastage designer jobs.

Log into UNIX as the user who schedules the jobs and run command crontab -l to list the schedules, if any. Maybe they got deleted.

Also have a UNIX admin look into those errors you listed above. Maybe the disks lost data or got corrupted.

Check if Unix password of of user who has scheduled the jobs is expired.
Cron (in Solaris) utilizes PAM. If Unix password is expired, all cron jobs scheduled by the user are suspended. If this the case, then simply reset the password.

Although unrelated, you should run fsck fairly soon.

Check that the user is recorded in both the cron.allow and at.allow files.
