default.apt does not exist

[Thanh Dalton]

Hi,

My new configuration file does exit in the directory. I have updated APT_CONFIG_FILE from default.apt to newdefault.apt.

But when i run the job, why I get the following error?

main_program: $APT_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Configurations/newdefault.apt does not exist or is not a file or symbolic link to one.

main_program: Fatal Error: Cannot continue without a configuration file.

Do an

Code: Select all

ls $APT_CONFIG_FILE

to check its presence.

ls $APT_CONFIG_FILE

Thank you.

Here is the result:
bash-3.00$ ls -l $APT_CONFIG_FILE
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dsadm dstage 7820 Dec 15 12:59 default.apt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dsadm dstage 7304 Oct 20 06:53 default_OLD.apt


Where the default_OLD.apt was renamed from the original default.apt that came when the DS project was created. the current default.apt is the one I updated with the right path to datasets and Scratch and I want to use for the project. As said earlier, I got:

main_program: $APT_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Configurations/default.apt does not exist or is not a file or symbolic link to one.

main_program: Fatal Error: Cannot continue without a configuration file.

Please help.

If you're certain it exists, check the permissions it has.

Thank you.
As you can see from the result, the permission shouldn't be a problem because the original default worked and the new one has the same permission as the original one.

When you did an "ls -l" on the environment variable, why did two files get listed? Echo that variable.

Where should I issue the "ls -l"? I did it from the Unix terminal.

A few configuration files were used for different DS projects.

with echo $APT_CONFIG_FILE, nothing displayed.

bash-3.00$ echo $APT_CONFIG_FILE

How to set $APT_CONFIG_FILE? I did it with DS Administrator.

What value did you set in administrator ? Can you paste the exact value here.

You can do

Code: Select all

export APT_CONFIG_FILE=<Value As Provided In Administrator>

I set it using DS Administrator GUI
Steps:
Logon DS Administrator ->select the ptoject --> click Properties button --> click Environment button to get the Environment Variables window. Under the Parallel Catagory, updated the APT_CONFIG_FILE to
/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Configurations/default.apt

Question: where should I issue

Thanks.

If the export command should be issue from UNIX terminal, , my question is: how the DS Engine could be smart enough to know which DS project we are talking about?
