DataStage sequence jobs hang with no error when using Grid Toolkit.

Troubleshooting


Problem

When using the Grid Toolkit with Information Server DataStage, sequence jobs which previously worked now abort when calling any parallel job.

Symptom

Sequence job will give standard abort message when attempting to start any parallel job, i.e.:
Message: My_Sequence..JobControl (DSWaitForJob): Job My_Parallel_Job has finished, status = 3 (Aborted).

The job log for called job will show it was never called (no logged messages), yet if the same job is started manually (not from sequence) the job runs fine.
