IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 9.1.2

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• dsjob -linvocations requires a job name on AIX and Linux, but
  not Solaris and Windows.
  

Local fix

• dsjob -linvocations {project} '*'
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Affects users of the dsjob command wishing to use the option to
  list
  all invocations for all jobs. Problem restricted to AIX and
  LINUX.
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The dsjob command with the -linvocations argument is specified
  to take
  a project and an optional job. If the job is ommitted the
  behaviour
  differs between platforms. On some an error indicating an
  invalid
  job handle is output. On others the command works as expected.

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

• A temporary fix is available:
  
  Instead of omitting the project name  use the command
  
  dsjob -linvocations <projname> '*'
  
  (note the single quotes around the asterisk)
