Hi all,

When i view all the processes open by using DataStage administration in Unix(DS.TOOLS), i'm getting alot of Processes with last command processed as "Unavailable" like below
============================State of all processes============================

When i actually go into Unix prompt and PS -ef those PID's, Unix responds with "No such process"

How can i remove those "unavailable" processes from DS.TOOLS?

thank you.

You need to clear out the segments of memory by using the REMOVE.SHM command. Refer here for more details.

DSguru2B,

i'm not able to run that command i'm getting the following error

>RUN ADMIN_BP REMOVE.SHM
No record found in the VOC file for "ADMIN_BP".

is there a way to add ADMIN_BP to VOC file?

Ask your admin to run that command. You need to run it with dsadm or root id.

DSguru2B is there something that i need to configure in DataStage to get ADMIN_BP in the VOC file?

No, it's because you are 'LOG'd on to a specific project. At the TCL prompt type LOGTO UV and try again.

Possibly easier to use is

Code: Select all

$DSHOME/bin/dsdlockd -p

if you have the requisite access.
