Hi all,

The job control for workflow is not getting regenarated everytime i make changes in the workflow and recompile it.
Does APT_COMPILEROPT Env. Variables have anything to do with it.
The default setting is
APT_COMPILEROPT is -dalign -O -PIC -library=iostream -c
Can anyone explain what each option stands for ?

Many Thanks,

Venky

Hi Kumar,

I had Initially Added a few parameters in some jobs and hence in the workflow as well.
Later the desing changed and we deleted it from the job as well as from the workflow.
Now the workflow is not getting compiled.
It shows an error-
Variable XXX never assigned a value.

where XXX is the paramter i had deleted.

Thanks,
Venky

Just do a search on generated Job control on the job properited tab, whether the particular parameter still present. If so you can find where it resides.

That error suggests that you have used a reference to the XXX parameter in an expression somewhere in the job design. Don't forget to open the stage properties of any Lookup or Transformer stage that may be part of that design, and where expressions often occur. Also stage variable initialization and derivation.

It's possible to prove that the job control is being regenerated when the job is compiled simply by inspecting the timestamps of files in the RT_BPnnn and/or RT_SCnnn directories, where nnn is the job number from DS_JOBS.
