Hello,

Im having some trouble executing multiple parallel job instances at the same time, i'm getting a timeout error = -14. I found in some blogs that increasing/decreasing the DSWaitStartup and DSWaitResetStartup values could help. I'm trying to understand what are this variables used for and what could be the recommended values, but I've not found any info in the web.

Also, how does increasing one variable affect the other?

I'd appreciate any help you could provide

If your server is heavily overloaded it doesn't really matter what you set your startup wait value at.

My understanding is those values are not user editable but would require a 'patch' from IBM to change them. As Ray noted, however, you are much better off treating the disease rather than the symptom.

Hi guy,
in the datastage 7.5.2 where are DSWaitStartup and DSWaitResetStartup variables?
It needs write on dsenv file: export DSWaitStartup and export DSWaitResetStartup?

Thank's

Welcome! Unfortunately, it looks like they were added in the 8.1 release.
