PX_Debug variable - Help required

Hi All,
Previously I had raised some questions regarding the swap memory usage in son solaris, as our jobs were failing. We had logged a ticket with IBM regading this, The engineer asked us to run the job using PX_Debug(=1) environment variabe. Hence this variable was setup on our project.
Now that the case has been resolved We have removed the variable from the project. But if I go through the job logs I cans still see the information a lot of information being displayed into it.
How do I get rid the effects that PX_Debug has done to the project environment.
Will a Server reboot work for this or is there anything else need to be done?

Has $PX_DEBUG been brought into any jobs as a job parameter?

Nice Catch Ray, I had created a dummy job for the IBM guys, So that they'll get the necessay info. And that job still exist in the project. This job has PX_Debug variable as a job parameter.
If I delete this job from the project, Will this issue be resolved?

Just having a job in the project should not effect the output of all the jobs. There might be something else at work here.

dsdeveloper13: I had this same issue with out test environment. I removed the job from there and I am not facing this issue any more in test.
So as of now I can think of this as solution to my query. Although I will still wait for experts comment from Ray

Clearly and definitely "maybe". Is $PX_DEBUG in any other job as a job parameter? How can you be sure? Is PX_DEBUG set in Administrator? Is PX_DEBUG set in dsenv or some other setup script?

Ray,
There is a single job that has this parameter. No other job in the project has this parameter.
Yes it was added as a custom environment variable in the administrator, But has been removed now.
No The parameter has not been added anywhere else, except the administrator.

Hi,
Can you please check the same parameter in DSParams file for that project...
If it is there you can remove it.
Hope this will help you out!
Thanks,
