Hi All

I am running a job sequence in two different environments (Integration and Production).
In integration its runing fine, but in production its failing with error code=-1
"Controller problem: Error calling DSWaitForJob(), code=-1
[Invalid JobHandle]"

What this error code=-1 represents?
Could any one of you let me know how to solve this issue?

Thanks

Did you migrate this job into production in the first place?

Also, please delete the other duplicate post before anyone answers that.

Verify whether the job is in right state to run. Is the job status "Not Compiled"?

Jobs are in the right state. They are compiled

As noted in the message, that "-1" means "Invalid JobHandle". Odd that it happens in the WaitForJob part of the process, that should mean it was able to start the job using the handle it established.

Did you try search for "Invalid JobHandle"? People have reported the problem here in the past and solutions were posted, see if any of them resolve your problem.

Are you using your own ("hand written") job control code?
Look for code like the following:

Code: Select all

hJob1 = DSAttachJob(JobName, DSJ.ERRNONE)
ErrCode = DSRunJob(hJob1, DSJ.RUNNORMAL)
ErrCode = DSWaitForJob(hJob)

(These may not be adjacent lines in your node.) Note that the variable used in DSWaitForJob() is not the same name as that used in DSAttachJob() and DSRunJob().
