hi Abhilash.

From the error message it looks like rsh could not be invoked on dbsp8003, dbsp8004 nodes.

This could be for one reason. Remote host entries are missing from .rhosts file.
Make sure that entry of all the nodes are present in .rhosts file on each node.
This file is present in your home directory on Unix.

Easily verifed. Log onto the ETL Server using the userid that will be running the job do;
rsh dbsp8003 date
If the command is processed correctly the problem lies elsewhere. If not then either it is rsh or the userid.

Silly as it may sound, check also that your process has read permission to /dsadm/Ascential/DataStage/Configurations/GlxDB2ETL_Large.apt
(the parallel configuration file).

The problem was indeed in the .rhosts file in my home directory. There were some missing host entries in that file, which I rectified. Now it is working fine.
