why is ulimit settings for a user different in datastage as compared to running ulimit command from unix command line?

You can define ulimit for DataStage processes. That way when you run jobs the files can be bigger than your normal user level. So when you log into UNIX and run ulimit it is not the same as when your user id runs a job.

In DataStage settings are inherited from dsrpcd for the agent process associated with each connected client.

I am trying to run the ulimit -a, id" command from ExecSH in DataStage job and getting this error:

Code: Select all

ulimittest..BeforeJob (ExecSH): Error when executing command: "ulimit -a; id"
*** Output from command was: ***
SH: ulimit -a; id:  not found.
