Dont "re-schedule". Try unscheduling your job and schedule it again.

what does your "crontab -l" command display?

DataStage uses the crontab functionality (on UNIX) to schedule jobs. This is a UNIX command you need to execute to list what UNIX sees as the list of jobs to execute.

Do you get any errors/warnings when trying to schedule jobs? The crontab command will allow you to see whether the jobs have actually been queued. If they have not, ask your UNIX system administrator whether the permissions for cron and at commands have been tightened. You might also ask whether the cron daemon is actually running, but it usually is.
