I ran DS.REINDEX ALL on the project thinking that may help and now face: The same issue where it says the job still exists while trying to reimpot and the new issue.....In Director under the "STATUS" view I see no folders only the root folder for this project "CFF" with nothing u...

Hi,
We had one of our developers delete jobs and when I import jobs from a backup it indicates that one of teh jobs is still present. I do not see it in designer but see it in Director and it has been moved to the root folder of the project. How can I remove or clean this up?
Thanks - - John

After looking at the job and database for the developer I realized that the issue was he was using an outdated Table definition for his metadata.
This isssue has been resolved.

Hi, We are implementing Business Glossary and MetaData Workbench in our shop in the next few months and in order to take advantage of all the functionality we need to upgrade from Version 8.0 to 8.5. Now that 8.7 has been released I was curious if anyone has any experience/thoughts regarding issues/...

Thanks Ray... This may be outside the scope of this forum, but I figured I would give it a shot. Here goes the notes from one of our developers on the specific error he receives. Thanks - - John I have marked my comments in magenta in the main() function below. The API call DSGetJobInfo(hJob,DSJ_STA...

hi,
Per IBM we have appled an upgrade to our MKS toolkit (Via patch supplied to us by IBM) and 2 weeks later it seems to have taken care of our orchestrate issues.
Thanks - - John

The latest on this issue.....IBM has narrowed the problem to the MKS toolkit. They had us generate many logs for them to analyze and they should be getting back to us with a resolution.

IBM just got back with the following: 1) Patch being created to backport the environment variables - APT_PM_PLAYER_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, APT_PM_PLAYER_TIMEOUT - which will let the system keep running jobs even though it is overloaded 2) Get ETA for patch 3) Setup conference call with Prudential to explai...

Mike,
Thank you for that information. I will let IBM know and see what they come back with.
Thanks - - John

Hi, A few months back we had many of our parallel jobs just hanging on the OSH script (...) step. We opened a PMR with IBM and they suggested to install Fix Pack 3 We were running version 8.0.1 Fix Pack 1. We installed Fix Pack3 and we are now receiving the following error(for the past month) main_p...

The default value for APT_STRING_PADCHAR is low values 0x0. If you want to cahnge this to spaces just delete the 0x0 and replace with a single space in Administrator.

What you have posted is corrcet. We have just implemented the two in our shop as it seems the start up of the parallel processes is being affected by our Virus Software (Windows). FYI...Windows has another parmeter which is similar to those mentioned in your post. APT_PM_PLAYER_CONNECT_TIMEOUT This ...
