Cannot run DS job

Post by sushil »

Hi,
We have moved to a new project through version control. However we are unable to run any job through the new project(The same jobs are running through some other project). Please suggest.

Thanks,
Sushil

Welcome Aboard :D
Pls give us more information.
What is the error you are facing? Or what makes you to stop runing the job?
By promoting to new environment, the jobs may be readonly.....

Sushil,

Can u post the Error/Warning messages that were thrown?
Would be good if you can post the issue with little more details, like whether you are able to compile the job, etc.

Hi,

The jobs are read only. They were compiled when they were promoted to the new project. I do not get any error messages. The jobs simply do not kick in.

Thanks,
Sushil

Sushil, does that mean when you start a job in the director the status of the job remains "compiled" and nothing gets written to the log file?

Hi ArndW,
You got it perfectly right. The job status in the director dosnot change. It remains compiled.

My first thought is that the user has insufficient access rights to the projects to write anything, thus no status change when you try to execute a job. Can you try as the administrator?

I do not have dsadm password. However I login as dsadmin and I believe it has rights to run the jobs(since using dsadmin I run jobs in my other projects).

Perhaps dsadmin is the name given to the admin user id in your site.
Since the jobs getting triggered through the current user id, you can make it for sure that, it is related to previlage issue.

Can you please tell me the procedure to check if any user is having access to run a job for a particular project.

Thanks,

Usually "try it". Sometimes called "suck it and see".
