I you do multiple job compile and select ONLY the one sequence, does it also fail? If yes, then you need to report this to your support provider {and you have a simple test case to submit to them}. Does this sequence fail to compile every time or is it a sporadic error?

As noted, sounds like a bug that should be reported.

Check first that you can compile the job sequence indepently.
When you can not, verify that the parameter reference you have used in a trigger expression is an accurate one.

I forgot to adda nother point . Incidentally the jobs which fail for the above said reason have the job parameters defined in the job but these parameters are used only in the Trigger expressions and are not passed to any of the jobs. Could this be a bug .....

Trigger Expression Variable Not Defined

We have this problem also. It's always the same sequence that fails when doing a Multiple Job Compile. Compiling the job by itself or compiling the job using Multiple Job Compile but only including this 1 job to compile also works. Any suggestions? We're on 7.51A, are there any upgrades/patches available? Where would I look for upgrades/patches? Thanks.

We are getting the same error. We have 7.5.1A version too. Should we install a patch?

That would be a question for your Support provider. I've never seen the problem and don't recall any patches for something similar, but it might be platform dependant. Check with support.
