Scheduling vs. Manual
I have certain jobs that fail due to connection errors when they are run through the scheduler. In other words, if I schedule the jobs to run at any time of day, the jobs fail. However if I run the jobs manually, the job completes without a problem. It is almost as if these jobs struggle with the connection and then timeout when connecting using the scheduler. Has anyone had this problem before?
Hello Bruce - this sounds like a typical access rights issue, where the process rights inherited when starting a job manually are different (and higher) than those when spawned by a scheduler. Do you have the log file error message handy, that way you can start to narrow the cause down - at least to see if it is due to file system access or Database access.
