Troubleshooting
Problem
The InfoSphere DataStage parallel engine on Microsoft Windows may 'lock up'. Windows functionality (Explorer, Task Manager, etc) still works. Existing parallel jobs (.OSH files) keep running, but you cannot start or compile other parallel jobs. However, you can start InfoSphere DataStage server jobs. This note explains how to diagnose and fix this issue.
Symptom
Windows cannot create new processes which are linked to the MKS toolkit. These processes include all .OSH file processes, connectivity tools such as SSH, and many other system utilities provided by MKS toolkit.
