Download Fix Pack 2 for InfoSphere Information Server Version 8.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Information Server 801 FP1A:  DSD.RUN processes not going away
  and jobs remain in a "running" state, though the job has really
  finished from a PX perspective and all the osh processes have
  gone away. These processes cannot be killed, as they seem to be
  in an I/O waiting state and the machine needs to be re-booted to
  clear them up.
  

Local fix

• This fix is included in 8.0.1 fix pack 3
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  UNIX platforms running parallel jobs
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The DSD.RUN process which starts a parallel job can hang.  A
  timeout alarm can occur during processing that results in
  DSD.RUN missing the receipt of the osh pid and return code from
  the pipe.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Patches have been provided on Redhat 8.0.1.1 and Suse 7.5.3.
  Fix will be committed into further source.
  This fix is included in 8.1 FP1 for RedHat/Suse Intel,
  Solaris, HP-Itanium.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• A new executable has been introduced on UNIX called OshWrapper
  to handle the receipt of osh pid and return code.  OshWrapper
  will be run in place of the OshExecuter.sh script.
