Parallel installation not working

myukassign · Post by **myukassign** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 4:36 pm

I installed Datastage Px in my windows vista machine after a lot of struggle. But what's happening now is, server jobs running with out any issues but none of my parallel job running. I will tell you wht i am doing, if someone cal help, will be a great help to me.

Step 1: Login to datastage designer with the following details
HostName : localhost or machinename
id: admin user id of my vista OS
pwd: password of my admin user id

Note: you may ask why u can't use . as host name and omit id and pwd, i tried that but unfortunatly, the datastage designer/manager/director crashing with error, the executable stop working

STep 2: Create a new parallel job like the following
Seq.File.Stage ---------> Transformer ------> SequentialFileStage

Step 3: I defined coloumns and source files in the properties of source seq file stage and click view data

The next thing I see is an error message like the following

"Error executing View Data command:

##E TFPM 000050 23:34:15(010) <main_program> APT_PMListenerPort: socket call failed, errno = 13 "

Then a window will come up with the following message

" There are more output available from the execution of the server command Would you like to view it?"

if I click yes, the following big error message shows there. To be honest, after the instllation finised i started creating my jobs, I donno is there any configuration need to be set or not. Pls help

Vista is not a supported operating system for the server.

Did you install the required C++ compiler before installing DataStage?

myukassign · Post by **myukassign** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 5:07 pm

Ray..Sry I installed datatage knowingly that it may not support in windows vista. but gave a try..

but you know, if i create a server job its working with out any trouble... so i think the issue is c++ compiler.

I did not install any c++ compiler, if it is possible for you, will you please tell me where can I find which c++ compiler i need to install.. which version. will you pls help me?

I have gone through the Hardware and software requirements and its not mentioned there that I should install c++ compiler. Pls correct me if m wrong

The C++ compiler only comes into play when you build a job with a transformer in it. What exact version of DataStage is this - 7.5x2? That's the only 7.x version with any hope of working but some fundamental changes were made from Windows 2000 to XP and Vista which I think is where your socket errors may be coming from. What happens with a job without a transformer?

Yes. My version is 7.5x2. So how can I make it work. which version of c++ i should installl?

Install whichever compiler the docs say are supported. However, as noted previously, Vista is not supported and likely the cause of your socket errors.

one last query... Datastage supported in windows server 2003 ?

Yes, with a specific Service Pack level from what I recall. Should all be in the docs somewhere.
