Set Project to Compile before execute

aasaif · Post by **aasaif** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 8:29 am

I was wondering in the server edition is there a setting you can set so it automatically compiles before running the job. The problem i have is a run a job through an executable and sometimes the job fails it seems i have to recompile the job in order to rerun it

No, you don't. You need to Reset the job, not recompile it.

Is there anyway to do set the project to reset after run or do i have to run a comand before my execute

There are two ways commonly used:
a) start the job through a sequence which call the job and is set to automatically reset the job.
b) reset manually using the "dsjob -mode reset"

You want to reset before the next run, not immediately after the failed run - you lose diagnostic information if you do the latter.

Oh, and off the top of my head:

c) DSPrepareJob() in your own job control code.

And remember that DSPrepareJob() will return a different job handle if it actually does reset the job.

so it my job control i would put something like this

DUMMY = DSPrepareJob("NameofJob")

Why are we in times before sequencers were introduced ?

It would be more like "JobHandle=DSPrepareJob(JobHandle)"

going foward i will use job sequences however these jobs were done a while back and hoping there is quick and simple way out of it

i am getting the following error
Invalid job handle <Missing or NULL>

You'd need to 'attach' to the job first to establish the handle. How about posting the relevant chunk of your job control code?

Job1 = DSAttachJob("AuxTimeFactLoad", DSJ.ERRORNONE)
Job1=DSPrepareJob(Job1)

Error
Invalid job handle 0
