Job is being accessed by another user

[Karine]

When I tried to open an existing job, a message appeared with
"Job job_name is being accessed by another user"

1) How can I find out who is accessed this job?
2) If I want to force 'Unlock' this job - how can I do so?

I have been asking my co-workers and nobody own up accessing the job and I have waited for hours...

you can via DS Director to find out who use the job
DS Director-->TOOL-->clearup resouces
#note if you use this function "enable job administration in director" must be check

The "other user" can be you, in another window that you've minimized and forgotted about! Each connection to the server has a separate "agent process" to perform tasks.

You can also run list_readu on the command line assuming you are using unix and the DataStage is set up correctly.

This generates a report to stdout and tells you the user for that job.
You can then unlock the userno number

Alternatively type who -R. This would tell you datastage users.
