(DSOpenJob) Cannot open job <job name> - not a runnabl

Post by itznitin »

I get the following error once in a while -
BatchPersonOutriggers..JobControl (fatal error from DSAttachJob): Job control fatal error (-12)
(DSGetJobInfo) Failed to open RT_STATUS642 file.
(DSOpenJob) Cannot open job OExpertiseSourceGroup. - not a runnable job

Once i reset or recompile the job then the job runs fine. Can somebody tell we under what circumstances this happens. A solution to the issue is appreciated.

Hi itznitin,
This happens when you are trying to run a job that has aborted in its previous run. If you are calling the job from a sequencer, then you might have to set in the properties page as Reset if required, then Run. If you had missed that, then youmight be getting such errors. Else, if you are calling the job from a routine, then even there you might have to set it to reset using the basic command DSJ.JobReset or something after checking its status (not exactly sure) and then run the job.
