Cannot recreate deleted project in IBM InfoSphere DataStage

Troubleshooting


Problem

Our project directory was deleted and I want to recreate the same project from DataStage Administrator. But, when I enter the same name as the deleted project, I get the following error: Error message is "DSA.ADMIN: An account called '' already existing" or DSR.ADMIN: Error creating a schemaRead operation failure. Some users will not have access to this schema. Read operation failure. Read operation failure. Internal file corruption detected. File must be repaired.

Resolving The Problem

Perform the following to delete the project. You can delete the project from the DS Administrator or on the Unix/Linux server. The instructions for both methods are provided below. Please note you need only perform one method (not both).

From DS Administrator:

  1. Log on to DS Administrator
  2. From the Projects tab, select the project
  3. Click on Command
  4. In the Command field, type the following command:

    LIST UV.ACCOUNT project_name

    if you can see the project_name type:

    DELETE UV.ACCOUNT project_name


  5. Now, fix the schema by typing the following commands:

    LIST UV_SCHEMA

    if you see the project name type:

    VERIFY.SQL SCHEMA
    project_name FIX


  6. Check that you cannot see the project_name anymore:

    LIST UV_SCHEMA


  7. If you still see the project then enter:

    DROP SCHEMA project_name CASCADE; <== do not forget the semi colon (;)


From Unix/Linux server :
  1. Log onto DSEngine
  2. source the dsenv

    . ./dsenv


  3. ./bin/uvsh
  4. LIST UV.ACCOUNT project_name

    if you can see the project_name, type:

    DELETE UV.ACCOUNT project_name


  5. Now, fix the schema by typing the following commands:

    LIST UV_SCHEMA

    if you see the project name type:

    VERIFY.SQL SCHEMA
    project_name FIX


  6. Check that you cannot see the project_name anymore:

    LIST UV_SCHEMA


  7. If you still see the project then enter:

    DROP SCHEMA project_name CASCADE; <== do not forget the semi colon (;)


Now, try creating the project.
