Warning.

Post by kollurianu »

We are gettting the following warning for all the parallel jobs.

"main_program: Warning: the value of the PWD environment variable (/tools/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine) does not appear to be a synonym for the current working directory (/devdsproj/dev_proj). The current working directory will be used, but if your ORCHESTRATE job does not start up correctly, you should set your PWD environment variable to a value that will work on all nodes of your system."

is the above warning ok.

kollurianu,

Seems you have your PWD environment incorrectly configured.
First check if you have your User defined environment variable PWD defined or not?
Login to Administrator and hit the 'Environment' tab. Then, check on the 'Used Defined' variable.
It should have complete project path value in it.
In your case it would be: /devdsproj/dev_proj

If you do not set PWD then DataSatge will use $DSHOME as present working directory.
$DSHOME is set in dsenv.

Let us know if it works. :)
Thanks and Regards!!

All warnings are OK in the sense that DataStage software has been coded so as to generate them. You can prevent them (in this case by setting the PWD environment variable) or you can demote/suppress them. Never neglect them. Some are bad things, some simply report "unusual" (do not occur every run) events, some are simply alerts.

My preference is to design jobs and the environment so that no warnings are ever generated. This is usually achievable.

It is my understanding that the project directory, not $DSHOME, is used if PWD is not set.
