  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Reference ecase e6161 - this is now broke in IS 8.0.1 and IS 8.1
    
    Part of script requires that dsenv be execute mode which is
    incorrect
    
    #default: start up processes
    if [ -z "`ipcs -m | grep ${SHMdisk}${versionshort}`" ]
    then
            cd ${DSHOME}
    
            # DataStage specific code for executing dsenv
            if [ -x "dsenv" ]
    

Local fix

  • n/a
    

Problem summary

  • On UNIX platforms, DataStage engine startup script (ds.rc)
    incorrectly requires $DSHOME/dsenv to be executable
    

Problem conclusion

  • On UNIX platforms, the DataStage server engine startup script
    in $DSHOME/sample/ds.rc only takes the code path to set up
    environment variables when the $DSHOME/dsenv is executable.  If
    the dsenv file is not executable, subsequent errors can occur
    with DataStage commands because library paths are incomplete,
    etc.
    

Temporary fix
