DSXchange

UGH...I can't start DataStage Designer. I just shut it down
(bin/uv -admin -stop) and when I start it up (bin/uv -admin -start)it looks fine.

Then I try to bring up Designer I get the classic

Failed to connect to host: xxxxxx project: yyyy
(The connection was refused or the RPC daemon is not running (81016))

How can I debug this thing?? Those start/stop commands have worked flawlessly in the past. Any help is greatly appreciated!

First thing to check is whether the dsrpcd process is running. If it's not running, you need to find out why. Search the forum for dsrpc, netstat and debugging to get some techniques.

More than likely, your dsrpcd deamon is not starting. A couple of things to try...

With the server shutdown, kill any errant client connections - things like 'phantom', 'dsapi_slave' or any other entries associated with DataStage. After doing that, try restarting the server. If it still doesn't start, you'll need to try starting it in 'debug mode', so that it can tell you why it is havinf problems. Check this post and/or this one for instructions.

Thanks to you both! I'll check after dinner. Mmmmmm!
