Do I need to be root for this?

Enable job administration in Director is checked. Cleanup resources dialog is always empty. It lists nothing, no matter if a job is hanginng, locked or running. Is this feature available only when you login as a root? I'm logged as dsadm.

No, you don't need to be root. What happens when you switch it to 'Show All'?

Nothing happens!
I thought maybe something was setup wrong with the dsadm rights, because I also cannot start and stop DataStage server engine if not root.(I can start it but clients couldn't connect)

Get to the operating system, execute the following command, and post the result.

Code: Select all

$DSHOME/bin/uv -admin -info

This will show whether you have a root install or a non-root install, and whether impersonation mode is in effect or not.

I just hope my last post wasn't offensive. What could be the reason I don't get any replies?

Some of us don't work every weekend, and are busy when we are at work.

The output from uv -admin -info suggests no problems, so you should be able to see things from the Cleanup Resources utility. You do not need to be dsadm; indeed, just to look you can be any user.

There are two Show All option buttons, one for locks, one for users. Select both and tell us what happens.
