Closed as program error.
Error description
Receive the following error when I trying to run a job via dsjob command: dsjob -run -local bidw_dev CopyOfPrepChanlDim -local option can only be used if the project is the current working directory Status code = -9999 DSJE_DSJOB_ERROR This issue appears related to having a project that is a symbolic link. Information Server 8.1 FP1 AIX 6.1
Local fix
Do not use symbolic links or apply patch: 8100, 8101 AIX platform patch_JR38363_server_aix_8100-1.tar
Problem summary
If the project directory has a symbolic link in its path, the dsjob test to see if the current directory is the same as the project directory will fail because getcwd returns the absolute path, not the pathc with the symbolic links which was saved to the repositoy.
Problem conclusion
Changed the current directory check to file ID information instead of doing a path string compare.
Temporary fix
