Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Pre-8.0.1 Fix Pack 3 DataStage users that reset jobs before
  running them.
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The command to reset a job, "dsjob -run -mode RESET ...", will
  return the status code DSJS_RESET (21) if successful.
  The command to run a job, "dsjob -run -jobstatus ..." should
  return status code DSJS_RUNOK (1) if the job ran successfully.
  However, when the run command is immediately preceded by the
  reset command the run command may incorrectly return DSJS_RESET.
  The incorrect code was being returned because the DSRunJob code
  had a start constraint which was too weak and allowed the
  controller job/process to proceed before the reset processing
  had completed.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Apply the patch for JR34329. This patch is included in 8.0.1 Fix
  Pack 3.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The code in DSRunJob was revised to ensure that a previous job
  reset has completed before the job is run.
