Hi,
While trying to login to our DS director/designer/manager I'm getting this error:

Failed to connect to host: 10.13.20.238, project: LTRA_PROJ_ETL_04
(The connection was refused or the RPC daemon is not running (81016))

Please revert with ur valuable comments.

Login your Unix box using dsadm; cd to $DSHOME/bin; then issue uv -admin -start.

Check whether the dsprcd process (DataStage RPC daemon) is running on the server.

Where it is not, it's usually a result of shutting down DataStage then attempting to restart while processes still have port #31538 bound (which can be determined with the netstat command).

You can start dsrpcd in debug mode to prove that this is the problem. Search the forum for the technique.

Please try out
netstat -a | grep dsrpc
and check the following entry
tcp4 0 0 *.dsrpc *.* LISTEN
ie whether the dsrpc daemon is listening
