APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• [Background]
  Customer found that dsjob seems to sleep 1 min. after finishing
  the job when resetting a job by dsjob RESET command.
  
  
  [How to reproduce]
  
  *** Actually I tested it in my Windows environment on VMware
  (IS81 GA level), but I could not recreate it...
  *** So those steps are from our customer.
  
  At first , prepare a simple server job (only a small seq. file
  ---> Transformer ---> seq. file)
  and run and reset the job by the following commands:
  
  1. Run the job
  
     [sasaki@smbcetl1 ~ 10:27:16]$
     /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob -run
  -mode NORMAL
     -wait -jobstatus DSproj1 karajob
     waiting job...
     Complete waiting job
     Job status     :  (1)
  
     Status code = 1
     [sasaki@smbcetl1 ~ 10:27:20]$
  
  elasped time: 4 sec.
  
  2. Reset the job
  
     [sasaki@smbcetl1 ~ 10:27:35]$
     /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/dsjob -run
  -mode RESET
     -jobstatus DSproj1 karajob
     waiting the job...
     Complete the waiting job
     Job status     :  (21)
  
     Status code = 21
     [sasaki@smbcetl1 ~ 10:28:38]$
  
  elaspsed time:63 sec.
  
  But when referring the result from DS Director,
  
     1. Run the job
     10:27:19-10:27:20:1 sec.
  
     2. Reset the job
     10:27:39-10:27:39:1 sec.
  
  From the above result,  it looks like dsjob sleeps one min.
  after resetting the job.
