Hi DS Gurus,

I am using DS 7.5 installed on Sun Solaris.
I want to create one more user for DS jobs development.
How can I do the same?

Thanks,
Sanket...

Just... create one, or request the same of an SA. There's no such thing as a "DataStage User" per se, they are just normal operating system users that DataStage authenticates against.

Make sure that this user is in a group that can execute things in the DataStage environment (DSEngine and PXEngine) and in a group that has rwx access to the project directory. Also make sure that this user has a umask of 002.

Thanks for your replies.

Not exactly getting how to do this.
My DS is installed on the UNIX server and has only default user 'dsadm'.

So, do I need to create one user using UNIX and then link it with DS?
Or by any option in DS client can do it for me?

Thanks,
Sanket...

As specified by Ray and Craig, you need to create or get a user created on the unix server with sufficient access.
There is no option in DS Client to create a user.
You can set permissions to the user in the DS Administrator though.

A man and a woman need to be involved at some point. And performance is slow. Using parallelism, however, nine women ought to be able to create a baby in one month.

Arrggghhhh

Get used to it, most of Ray's jokes fall squarely in the "I'll take Groaners for 1000, Alex" category. :P

:-) crazy....You simply have your Unix Admin create a Unix account on the box in question and make sure the UNix Group (e.g., dstage or the one already assigned to dsadm) is now assigned to this new Account....Its a Unix issue.....then you can assign specific roles in the DS Admin but not creating users there......
