Answer

To get a list of DataStage jobs that are running use a command similar to the following UNIX command:

ps -ef | grep DSD.RUN

For example,

>ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep DSD.RUN

username 664 2612 0 14:28:38 con 0:00 E:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\DSEngine/bin/uvsh DSD.RUN pxGenSample 0/0/1/0/0/0/0

In the example above the name of the job is pxGenSample
