Unable to issue bin/uv command without parameters to start UV shell

Troubleshooting


Problem

In DataStage, the command: bin/uvsh is normally used to start the command shell, while bin/uv command is normally called with additional parameters (i.e. bin/uv -admin -start). If bin/uv is called with no parameters, it will attempt to launch the UV shell, but that request will usually fail with errors reporting libraries not found. For example on AIX user may see: exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program bin/uv because of the following errors: 0509-150 Dependent module libicwrapper.so could not be loaded. 0509-022 Cannot load module libicwrapper.so. 0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist While on Linux the error may be: bin/uv: error while loading shared libraries: libdsplugin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Depending on release and platform, the failing library name could also be libodbc.so, libodbcinst.so, or additional libraries.
