Hi

After having installed Datastage 7.5.1A, we were not able to configure the plugin for the Oracle Enterprise Stage fro which we changed entries in the dsenv file and shutdown n restarted the engine a couple of times

Subsequently(after having restarted the engine a couple of time) we have not been able to connect to the Server and have been receiving the follow error msg

Failed to connect to host: XYZ,project: TEST
(The connection is broken (81002))

We have bounced the server too to no effect.

Have searched the forum without much success

Any ideas?

Can you do a netstat -a | grep -i fin

Do you see any connections out there with a finwait2 status? If so, you will have to wait for the no -a | grep tcp_finwait2 value divided by 2 seconds to expire before these connections die and you can restart the service. I set this value to 60 for 30 seconds.

You can verify that the service is running successfully by running
$ ps -ef | grep dsrpc
root 28014 1 0 Nov 07 - 0:00 /Ascential/Ascential/DataStage/DSEngine/bin/dsrpcd

$ netstat -a | grep dsrpc
tcp4 0 0 *.dsrpc *.* LISTEN

Does all that look good?

yup it does

dsadm /home/dsadm > netstat -s|grep -i fin
0 delayed ACKs for FIN

and the checks on the dsrpc service succeed

but i still cant get thru

Hi

It seems as though the dsenv we were using was corrupt - we replaced the existing one with a backup copy that we had created and presto - things worked fine

Will have to check the actual cause corruption in the dsenv file.
