Cannot get exclusive access to Job <JOb name>

[dsedi]

Hi All,

While I am trying to run one of my job it's saying

"Cannot get exclusive access to Job <JOb name> "

previously I was stopped that particular job several times manually and and cleared the status file from director.

Now the job status in Director showing me Compiled.

any possible solutions for the same.

Thanks very much for all your support.

Try clearing the status and releasing locks.

Search the forum for more info.

The job may be locked for any of the following reasons (and the list is not exhaustive).

• job is open in another Designer window, by you or another developer
  
  job properties open in Manager, by you or another developer
  
  job being monitored, by you or another developer
  
  job was locked by a process that was killed without the chance to clean up

When you clear the status file, DataStage has no mechanism for determining any aspect of status other than whether or not the job is in a compiled state.

There are many answers here on removing DataStage "locks" and "orphaned locks" so do a search and you will find a good answer to help you.
