APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Behavior of dsjob -wait or -jobstatus has changed between DataStage 7.5.3 and Information Server 8.5. If the Inactivity timeout is reached while the job is still running, dsjob now returns to the script or UNIX prompt immediately instead of when the job finishes. This is at least partially related to the performance change introduced with APAR JR32406 where these options now only use one dscd/dsapi_slave pair. Request original behavior where dsjob returns to the script or Unix prompt when the job finishes.
Local fix
There are two options. The first is to set an Inactivity timeout to a value greater than the longest job run. The second option is remove the -wait or -jobstatus, and loop on dsjob -jobinfo instead.
Problem summary
Request to get original behavior where dsjob -wait returns to the script or UNIX prompt when the job finishes (not when the Inactivity timeout is reached).
Problem conclusion
Set the environment variable, DSE_SLAVE_CLOSE_SOCKET_ON_EXEC, to 1 in $DSHOME/dsenv.
Temporary fix
Set Inactivity timeout to a value greater than longest running job.
