Releasing jobs held by another User

[pavankvk]

When ever the designer hangs with a job opened, i kill it. and when opening the same job it gives the error message.

i know that there is something like releasing locks. can you let me know. i am using 7.5 ee edition.

Hi pavankvk,
Basically you can unlock the jobs by two ways:
1) As kool78 said you can release or unlock the jobs from Director.
2) In Administrator, at command line go to DS.TOOLS and select option 5 and enter the pid of the job to release.

I consider these to be the safe methods, instead of killing the Job and breaking the head.

i tried cleaning up resources.it never worked. and i also remember trting the pid method..but they didnt help

Hi pavan,

If you can paste the error message someone can answer that properly rather than guessing.Anyway you try to logout of all the process through the director,sometime this will be a problem .

Thanks

And lose the habit of using kill on any DataStage process. It only ever leads to messy cleanup problems. For example, how do you know you correctly identified all child, sibling and parent processes?

Craft your job designs so that they don't hang in the first place.
