Couldn't get I/O for the connection to: localhost.

I am getting a warning when I run my Job Sequence or the underlying Server Job that I was not getting before. My code hasn't changed but my Job Sequence process is now failing due to this unexpected warning.

If I run my underlying Server Job - Sybase_OC --> Sequential File then all of the rows that I expect to be found are written and the arrow is changed to green .

If I check in my Director Log then the following warning is returned

DSD_SendEvent.B:Error Starting run
Cmd = SH -c'ActivityCmd START -file MSEVENTS/20050520085304000'
Output = ERROR: Couldn't get I/O for the connection to: localhost.
ReturnCode = 1

This looks like some sort of environment issue to me but wonder if anyone has come across this recently - I did a search on this forum for

Couldn't get I/O for the connection to: localhost

and found a few threads but no fix.

You get this warning when you have checkmarked
"capture operational metadata" in the administrator properties of your project but your process metabroker is not up and running.

Do a search on your unix server for "processmb". Thats the service name for process metabroker.

There is a processmb script in processmb directory that you need to run to start the processmetabroker service.

Sorry for not replying to this as I was out of the office Mon/Tues. This worked a treat and has saved me a lot of time.

cheers
