Here is a strange problem that i am encountering and i'd appreciate if someone can help resolve it.
I Export a bunch of jobs from server A. There are say 5 jobs.
jobA
jobB
...
...
JobE.
Then i try to Import them into Server B.
While importing, i get error - jobA cannot be found in the repository.
Same for JobB and job C. The rest import successfully.
It would make sense if i was getting this error while Exporting but why am i getting it while importing ? And what can i do about it ?
I have done DS.REINDEX ALL on Server B (target server).
Trouble importing - Job cannot be found in the repository

Okay. Will do.
But just for my knowledge, can you please let me know what is causing this error during import ?
I even deleted the entire category in which these jobs are supposed to be imported into - so there is, theoretically, no trace of those jobs left in our target server and yet i am getting - jobX cannot be found in the repository - Well yeah - of course they cannot be found because i deleted them and now i am trying to re-import them ....
DS sometimes can get so unreasonable ...

Ray - Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Apparently the local repository and XMETA had gone out of sync which is probably why we were getting the error.
I deleted the category containing the jobs from DS Designer and that i think deleted only the local unix files.
Then after reading your post, i went and deleted them from the XMETA also - using
DELETE FROM DS_JOBS WHERE NAME = 'xxxxx'
Then ran DS.CHECKER followed by DS.REINDEX ALL
After this i was able to import successfully.
Question - In one of the previous posts on the DELETES i saw your comment saying this way of deleting jobs was adequate but not rigorous. Can you explain why ?
