Able to save job with same name

[ketfos]

Hi,
I modify a job and save it.
When I look into the Designer, I see same job name twice in the Designer.
I am able to open both the jobs although they ahve same name?

Any help will be appreciated.

Check whether it has special char in its name. Also whether something like '0' instead of 'O' or 'o'.

Can you let us know how you confirmed this duplication.

Try calling the job from a sequencer or batch and see which one runs.

Yes, I checked and there is no special char in it.
I simply saved the job after modify.

check for case sensitivity in the job name
There must be a difference in the name. if not, i don't think that DS allows same name for the jobs

You can not have same job name for two jobs in the same category. Can you post the job and category names of the two jobs please??

Duplicate keys are not possible in hashed files, and DS_JOBS is a hashed file with NAME as its key. That's why duplicate names are not possible.

Under some circumstances, however, you can see duplicate key values in corrupted hashed files, or hashed files with corrupted indexes. Check that DS_JOBS is not corrupted and that its indexes don't need rebuilding.

Commands are:

Code: Select all

UVFIXFILE DS_JOBS
LIST.INDEX DS_JOBS ALL

It's more likely that the indexes are the problem. Repair with

Code: Select all

DS.REINDEX DS_JOBS 

to use which you will need exclusive access, so you may as well do the lot.

Code: Select all

DS.REINDEX ALL

You can not have same job name for two jobs in the same category.

Just to clarify, you cannot have two jobs with the same name regardless of category. Each job name much be unique to the project.

Unless, of course, (as people are suspecting) the structures holding this information are corrupt, then all bets are off.
