Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Unix platform. Users running many PX jobs may see that some jobsdo not seem to finish. **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When many PX jobs are run on a Unix system, a return status code from the OSH process was not successfully sent through a pipe to the running process. This means that the running processwill wait forever for the signal, causing the job to appear as though it has hung. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Install patch patch_JR30251_server_solaris_801ga.tar (or equivalent for other platforms). Upgrade to version 8.1. This change is included in 8.0.1 Fix Pack 2. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Patch created for 8.0.1 GA. The return code will be retrieved from a temp file if the read from the pipe failed.
