Error description

• After installing versin 8.5 of DataStage on a zLinux / SUSE
  system, customer runs
  
  uv -admin -autostart on
  
  to set up autostart and gets error messages when the script
  attempts to create the links:
  
  Creating link /etc/rc.d/init.d/ds.rc to
  /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/sample/ds.rc
  ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/rc.d/init.d/ds.rc' to
  `/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/sample/ds.rc': No
  such file or directory
  

Local fix

• Pre-installation workaround:
  
  adjust the path to ds.rc in the
  is-suite/payloads/DataStageCommon/DSEngine/InstallSpec.xml from:
  
        <Choice value="/etc/rc.d/init.d/">
            <Condition>
          <OsMatches osFamily="UNIX"/>
         </Condition>
        </Choice>
  
  to
  
        <Choice value="/etc/init.d/">
            <Condition>
          <OsMatches osFamily="UNIX"/>
         </Condition>
        </Choice>
  
  Post-installation workaround:
  
  Edit the path in the linkfile
  
  ../DSEengine/scritps/DSEenable_autostartup.sh
  
  from
  
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/ds.rc
  
  to
  
  /etc/init.d/ds.rc
  
  Then re-execute the command
  
  uv -admin -autostart on
