[psk_270185]

Hi All,

We are facing an issue when we try to log in to Datastage client version 8.1 on AIX 5.3.0.0.
The following is the error:
----------------------------------------------------

Also when we try to run teh command 'dsjob -lprojects' we get teh error message :
Status code= 81016

We shut down the server in sequence of -uv -admin -stop, Nodeagent and then Websphere and started in teh correct sequence. But still we get the same error.

We have searched client related exception error and found some material on IBM support site, but that doesnt help.

Please suggest.

Regards,
Shrinivas

Often when DS is not brought down completely and restarted you will not restart the dsrpcd and connectivity won't work. Bring DS down correctly (use seach in the forum for detailed steps to check status) and bring it back up.

Can you please specify the steps to be acomplished for this or the place where i can find the steps to do the process of bringing ds down.
Thanks

HI
I have viewed the dsrpcd status post but my server is on windows and not on unix ,so what commannds should be used in that case.
Thanks
Ashish

As this is a UNIX and AIX thread started by someone else, please start your own thread for a windows problem.
