Running more than 3 jobs in a sequence- giving a fatal error

Post by dwblore »

Hi all,

We have a sequence where we used to run morethan 3 jobs in parallel stream. And it used to work as we want. It used to work across all our environments (like dev,test....). But now the same sequence is failing with some fatal error like below.

"SSeq..JobControl (fatal error from JobControl): Could not attach"

Did any one face this earlier. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Koti

Rebuild your Job Sequence from scratch, and see if it give you the same error.

Are the jobs in a runnable state? Compiled?

Check to that, if it is pointin to only the 4th job that your are trying to attach. If not in parallel, trigger it in series. Check if any other job been executed in server at the same time.

re compile all the sequence and jobs, it will tell you if anything missing, also it will check the job is there or not

Monitor the server node that houses the DS Engine for cpu and disk bottlenecking. Also, check the T30FILES setting in the uvconfig. All jobs require resources for logging and status maintenance, and Sequences are simply Server jobs. If there are no resources for job control execution, or some tunables are set improperly, these types of issues occur.
