DSXchange

We have a server with two DS daemons running. Version 7.5 is itag ade and v 7.5.1 is itag ad1. We wanted to start a job in a 7.5.1. The same project/job exists in both 7.5 and 7.5.1. When we issued the dsjob command it started the 7.5 version of the job.

We then changed the dsjob command to use the -local option and got the 7.5.1 version of the job to execute.

We are executing a sequncer job that has a "wait activity" at the beginning followed by 4 parallel jobs.

We made the seq job wait for the activity. I notice that it created a dscs entry for the 7.5 version, eventhough it is running the 7.5.1 job. Is there some parameter that will cause the dsjob command to use the listener port for the correct dsrpcd daemon?

Answered our own question.

Issued the dsjob command with the logon option by specifying the servername:port#, user and password for the 7.5.1 version. This started the job in the correct version and used all correct memory segments.

$DSHOME/bin/dsjob -server <server:port> -user <username> -password <pswd> -run <project> <jobname>

Well done. I was asleep the whole time!
