Error from DataStage Login to a project

We have various users that are logging into the same DataStage
project.
But a new member of the team's login attempt gives the error:
Record
2C605B81-1386-4A9D-9119-DE8021D168FC-TGHSWA003:10125 on file
29 cannot be written.

That's pretty criptic.
Is this a license issue?

We have been told that we have a license for many users, but
under the DS Admistrator, it says "4" users.
Does that mean 4 simultaeously active users (logged on) or what?
Or is that number meaningless (overridden elsewhere)?

We are on client: Windows,
server: Sun Solaris
DS: 7.5.2

Perform following checks.

1. On the UNIX prompt run following command.
$ groups <User Name who is not able to login>

This command will display primary and secondary UNIX groups assigned to user. One of the group assigned to user should be dstage. Run the same command for a user who is able to login to DataStage and see if they are any different.

2. Log in the DataStage Administrator GUI, seclect the project and click on permission tab. Check the role of UNIX group to which user is assigned. If the role is NONE you may want to change it to DataStage Developer.

About license, if in DS Admistrator it says "4" users, it means only 4 user can login at a time.

Hope it helps......

It is a licensing issue, but maybe an indirect one.

The value is a key to the DS_LICENSE hashed file, which is used to manage licensing. That it could not be written may be operating system permissions on DS_LICENSE (it needs to be writable by all DataStage users), or it could be that your T30FILE table (the number of concurrently open hashed files) is full. In the latter case the problem is probably intermittent.
