Problem starting QSRTMNGR

[jhmckeever]

Hi Folks,

Has anyone encountered the following problem when starting QSRTMNGR? I've been running QS jobs from DataStage 7.1r2 without problems but this morning I suddenly found the QSRTMNGR is no longer running and I can't get it restarted - hence I can't use the QS-for-DS plugin. Here's the output:

Code: Select all

$ qsrtmngr
...
qsrtmngr(28181):Thu Feb  2 11:45:04 2006 
IPE_POST:  [irtcmdsrv.c]  [one_port_setup_real] 
[274] FATAL: 0017 server: can't bind local address
qsrtmngr(28181):Thu Feb  2 11:45:04 2006 (MSG_vutils.c:13;
vutils.c:1412) ERROR:  vexit status=17
...

I don't think there's a problem with my enviroment setup (It's HP-UX):

Code: Select all

INTBIN=/home/dsadm/Ascential/QualityStage/bin

PATH=/oracle01/product/8.1.7.4/64/a/bin:
/home/dsadm/Ascential/DataStage/Projects/Integration/wrapped:
/home/dsadm/Ascential/QualityStage/bin:/etc:/usr/bin:
... other stuff ...

SHLIB_PATH=/home/dsadm/Ascential/QualityStage/bin:
/opt/product/Ascential/DataStage/PXEngine/java/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0:
... other stuff ...

My QSSERV process is running fine, and consequently I can run jobs from QS designer without any problems:

Code: Select all

$ ps -ef | grep qs
   dsadm 18825     1  0 10:36:57 pts/tb    0:00 qsserv -port 22323
   dsadm 28925 28103  2 11:55:46 pts/tf    0:00 grep qs

I've also run the validate.scr script to check the integrity of the instalation - no problems there. Sorry for the info-overload, just trying to provide a complete picture of the problem. Naturally, any help very gratefully received.

PS. Keep up the great work on these forums! I read them and learn something new everyday.

<h1>DOH!</h1>
I had a phantom process hanging around which was preventing the correct starting of qsrtmngr. Killed the process and started qsrtmngr without problems.

Thought I'd leave this mini-thread here (rather than delete it) in case anyone encounters the same problem in the future.

Keep up the good work,
J.

Thanks for posting quick solution. The other thing people sometimes forget is to be logged in as qsadm before starting qsrtmngr. The netstat command can help to find ports in use.

Thanks Ray.
