DSjob command issue

maniphilip · Post by **maniphilip** » Fri Jan 30, 2015 4:51 am

We are trying to invoke a job using dsjob command inside a script. But we are getting the following error when we run the script.

line 9: .: ./dsjob: cannot execute binary file

Please help us.

Make sure to source in dsenv file first and then try dsjob command.

<post moved to correct forum>

Post your script... what's on line 9? Looks like you're using a relative path, make sure your script cd's to the correct place first or switch to a full path.

Never mind the whole 'relative path' thing, while fine advice that's obviously not the issue here. Your error is an odd one and generally indicates a compatibility issue - say you bring over the command from another version of UNIX or one compiled with the 'wrong' compiler for the current O/S you could see something like that.

Can you run dsjob from the command line outside your script?

are you able to log in to the command line with dsadm and execute this:
(after sourcing dsenv of course)

$DSHOME/bin/dsjob -lprojects

That will at least tell you if it's the engine or something specific to your project (like if you imported jobs with executables from a different OS) as was mentioned.

Do you have execute permission to the binary referred to on line 9?

Thank you all for the suggestions.

Please find the script that we are using

#!/bin/bash
. /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/dsenv
cd /
cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/
pwd
. dsjob -run TEST TEST

Since our login ID's doesn't belong to dsadm group , we are executing the script from datastage job. In th datastage job log we could see USER=dsadm.

But we are getting the below error in datastage log
Reply=126
Output from command ====>
/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin
line 7: .: ./dsjob: cannot execute binary file
Thanks,
Mani

Try changing it to

Code: Select all

 . ./dsjob -run TEST TEST

Please also verify permissions on the dsjob executable file.

We tried with the above suggestion ,but still we are facing the same issue.

Please find the permission on dsjob file
-rwxr-xr-- 1 dsadm dstage

Thanks,
Mani

Try chmod 755 dsjob

Have you tried running it manually from the command line as requested? If you still get that error, involve support. If it won't even run from the command line (should give you a basic usage error) then it's corrupt or otherwise invalid.

Try "./dsjob -run TEST TEST". You don't want to do a Dot Space Dot Slash.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash 
. /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/dsenv
#make sure you are in your personal home
cd
#don't play in the engine path
#cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/bin/ 
pwd
#$DSHOME set in dsenv
$DSHOME/bin/dsjob -run TEST TEST

(As an admin, I don't like people running stuff with $DSHOME/bin as their current working directory.)
