Hi,

Before executing a multiple instance job through a shell script, we are checking its status using the below command:

Code: Select all

$DSHOME/bin/dsjob -server :31539 -jobinfo svtt_dev SQ_SVTT_Main.11

When executing this from command-line, it gives a return value 0 when the job is already running. However, when giving the same command through the shell script, 99 is returned. Any idea why?

Different error handling in dsjob and in the GUI client, probably. It's just how it is.

Best practice is to check the job status prior to submitting a run request.

Ray, thanks for the reply and sorry for causing some confusion. What I was intending to say was, when I gave the command on the UNIX command prompt it returned 0 whereas running through shell script returned 99...
