Question { IBM, 6443 }

A job is having only 2 stages I/p dataset and target table.Job is taking very long time to load 50 million records.How to improve performance of this job.

Answer

Check the DataStage Director job log for jobs which do not show job run statistics and confirm whether the following variable is defined:
APT_NO_JOBMON
If APT_NO_JOBMON is defined and set to value of 1 or true, then it will disable job monitoring and process metadata reporting for parallel jobs.

Confirm the JobMonApp process is up and running:
ps -ef | grep JobMonApp

default ports for JobMonApp is : 13400 and 13401

Both ports must be in listen state.

if you are getting this error: Failed to connect to JobMonApp on port 13401" please restart this service.

[root@ibmiis9 ~]# cd /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/PXEngine/
[root@ibmiis9 PXEngine]# export APT_ORCHHOME=`pwd`
[root@ibmiis9 PXEngine]# cd java/
[root@ibmiis9 java]# ./jobmoninit stop
JobMonApp has been shut down.
[root@ibmiis9 java]# ./jobmoninit start
JobMonApp has been started.
