DSXchange

Datastage Version:8.1
Operating System:AIX 5.3
I am creating a project from DataStage administrator client.
I clicked on the Add buttton in Admin and gave the Project name and the Path and clicked ok,i started the process of adding the project and Finally created the project.
I can see that the project is created in the backend (UNIX) in the path specified but from the admin console it does not show the new project.

Any Suggestion will be really helpful.

Thanks

Hmm. I've never encountered that before, but my first thought would be that there was some sort of permissions problem and it didn't update the tables in the main DSEngine account with the pointers it needs to "see" the new projects.

Were you logged into the administrative client as dsadm (or whatever your admin id is) when you created the project?

Have you checked the project out at the UNIX level to see if permissions are set correctly (your "dstage" group should be set as main group on most files) for both your DSEngine and your new Project directory?

Try closing the Administrator and opening a new one. (There's no other way to get it to refresh, though it *should* auto-refresh.)

Hey asorrell,

I have created the project using dsadm.Also dstage is the main group.Everything on the Unix end is good.Only problem is with the Client.

Ray,
I have closed all the client connections and logged in again.But still have the same issue.

Hmmm. I wish this one had been resolved. I am having the same problems.

Any additional ideas?

Does the project show up in the login screens for the Director/Designer?

yes, but with a slightly different domain name. instead of systemname.company.com/projectname I see systemname/projectname

What happens if you specify the IP address, or the shortened hostname, for the machine hosting the server?

Sorry Ray. Specify it where?

In the Connect to DataStage dialog. I'm trying to take name resolution out of the picture as a potential point of failure here.

Your server's hostname and networkname would have been changed by sysadmin.
Check the hostname file of your server ?
