@mandyli - Did you get a solution to this problem? Please advise if you have a solution as I am facing exactly the same problem and this happens very randomly to any job at any given time. It just hangs there forever...mandyli wrote:Hi,
Red-Hat Linux

Thanks for your response. I forgot to mention, but our shop is SuSE Linux, not RedHat. Do you happen to remember/know the name of the kernel patch? These hanging problems have been really problematic and we raised the issue several times with IBM who almost always came back and told us to upgrade from 8.0 to the next version (we are planning to go to 8.5 soon). No other resolution so far...daignault wrote:There is a kernel patch for Linux for PDFLUSH. This is a known LINUX issue with EE.
My site has patched SUSE kernel for this, but it may be called something else in Redhat.

Man,
You may wish to look at this technote from IBM concerning the zombie processes: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg21446117
I would recommend contacting your support provider to determine if there are any specific settings or fixes that are suggested for your particular linux kernel and version of Information Server.

@jwiles: I have gone through the post and - please correct me if I am wrong - I see that it prescribes methods for orphan processes ?? after job runs ??. The problem as I understood from mandyli and the problem that we have is that when a job is started, it all of a sudden goes into this "hanging" state. I mean, the status might stay running even if the log says the processing finished or the job won't even start at all. Is this addressed by the solution in the IBM's post too?
Thanks for all the inputs.
