Hi,
Whenver I try to add a sequence (containg both parallel and server jobs and subsequences) to schedule, it throws an error:
_______
Error adding to schedule: you are not authorized to use at. Sorry.
(Command was: at 17:00 today )
(Data was: /opt/ascential/DataStage/Projects/H3g_Odh/dsr_sched.sh /opt/ascential/DataStage/Projects/H3g_Odh /opt/ascential/DataStage/DSEngine SS_Odh_Src_Stg_TopLevel 0/50 2 >/dev/null 2>&1)
________
The user has access to edith the crontab.

Please help if somebody has already faced such a problem or knows the resolution.

Thanks in advance.

Check whether you are allowed to schedule any activity in Unix server using your user/password (or maybe using dsadm).

DataStage uses the underlying 'at' command. You can specify files 'at.allow' and 'at.deny' to control the people who can do this. You can contact your system admin people to get this done.

Also check the permissions on the directories where cron and at jobs are stored. Depending on the UNIX, these can be called cronjobs and atjobs or something similar. They are sometimes installed with "other" having no rights at all. To use at/cron, you need r-x permission on these directories.
