JR35492: On UNIX platforms, DataStage engine startup script (ds.rc) incorrectly requires $DSHOME/dsenv to be executable

APAR status

• 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
