I have read lot of posts about this error message. it seems like .rhosts file should exists in the datastage directory. But i am unable to find that file
anywhere under datastage directory. if it doesn't exists...

Do we need to create that file?
what is the content that i need to include in .rhosts file?

Note: I just checked the configuration file by using tools --> configuration. i got the same above error message.

[karthi_gana]

my configuration file content is as below.

Code: Select all

{
	node "node1"
	{
		fastname "karthigana-PC"
		pools ""
		resource disk "C:/Ascential/DataStage/Datasets" { pools "" }
		resource scratchdisk "C:/Ascential/DataStage/Scratch" { pools "" }
	}
	node "node2"
	{
		fastname "karthigana-PC"
		pools ""
		resource disk "C:/Ascential/DataStage/Datasets" { pools "" }
		resource scratchdisk "C:/Ascential/DataStage/Scratch" { pools "" }
	}
}

I'm not sure how far you are going to get past this:

I have installed datastage 7.5x2 on windows 7 ultimate OS.

That version is ancient and specifically architected to run on XP.

[karthi_gana]

umm...okay...let me try to install microsoft virtual pc and then install windows xp and then datastage on xp.

my laptop config is

inspiron
i5 processor
4 gb ram

[karthi_gana]

do you mean it is not possible to resolve this issue in windows 7 ? or is it resolvable one?

can you tell me where the .rhosts file will be located by default?

[chulett]

Home directory.

[lstsaur]

Yes, it wouldn't work on Windows 7 period. Error message that you got is kind of misleading since there is no such .rhost file in the Windows XP env.

i have installed virtual box and installed windows xp sp3. when i try to install datastage now, i am getting the below error message.

"The MKSToolKit component install failed".

I have searched the answer here and came to know that i have to delete c:\programfiles\MKStoolKit folder as well the entries from the below registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Mortice Kens Software key

The things is,

a) I don't see any entry or such name in the registry
b) I don't see MKSToolKit folder under c:\programfiles.

so i think i no need to remove this from my computer.

As far as i know datastage will also try to install MKSToolKit. If we have already installed in our local machine, there may be some incompatabile issue. This is what i read in the "Release Notes". In my case, it is different. Yes, i don't have MKSToolKit installed (checked the installed tools under "Control Panel", registry & folder). But i don't know why i am getting this error message.

my laptop is 32 bit with windows xp, sp 3 installed on virtual box and allocated 2 GB RAM AND 20 GB Hard disk space.

[chulett]

Did it create any kind of log file that states why it failed?

[karthi_gana]

No. Shall i download (some where from google) and install MKS toolkit seperately ? will it resolve this issue?

[karthi_gana]

can i have any updates?

[chulett]

No clue, never played with that ancient verson and because it is so old I doubt there is any level of official support for it. Give whatever you think might help work around the issue a shot and let us know the result. However, I do not believe you can simply 'download' a copy of MKSToolkit, at least not legally... unless perhaps you can find a version on the IBM website.

[karthi_gana]

no luck till now...

I just went back and designed a server job in windows 7. it works fine.

But when i run the parallel job on windows 7 os i am getting the below error message.

main_program: Internal Error: (socket_ != -1): errlog\errorconfig.C: 1024

APT_COMPILEROPT = -W/TP -W/EHa -DAPT_USE_ANSI_IOSTREAMS -c
APT_COMPILER = cxx
APT_LINKER = cxx
APT_LINKOPT = -W/TP -W/dll -W/base:0x50000000

is there any changes need to be done above?

PATH environment variable is empty in datastage administrator. Do I need to enter anything ?

what is the use of PATH ?

I do not think it was architected for XP. XP is for client but the server has to be Windows Server 2003, I think.
