Controlling the RFC Server Manager: UNIX
The IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® RFC Server Manager is a Unix service that can be started automatically when the operating system is started (your Unix administrator can include the script in the startup setup).
About this task
To stop or start the RFC Server Manager on Unix, login as a DS admin user (dsadm) and use the following commands (replace the IS path with your actual path).
Procedure
-
/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSBWbin
-
./dsrfcd.rc stop
-
./dsrfcd.rc start
Troubleshooting
Occasionally, the listener processes may not shut down automatically. To ensure all the processes are stopped:
- Open a command prompt window on the DS Server; make sure you are using an administrative user (for example, dsadm or root).
- Run the following commands to show the listener processes still running and to stop each process
shown using the process id,
ps -ef | grep dsrfc
kill <pid>
- Check again to see if there are any processes still running. If so, use a more forceful stop method:
ps -ef | grep dsrfc
kill -KILL <pid>
- If processes still show as running, try using a more authoritative user (example, root instead of dsadm); as a last alternative restart the Unix server.
