Job File Lock - exclusive access

albasir · Post by **albasir** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 2:52 pm

Hi all,

I am using a server shared container in my parallel job.
my job aborted because of some reasons (look up failure)...after correcting this i tried to compile my job and i got the following error message

:CANNOT GET EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO EXECUTABLE FILE FOR JOB

another strange thing i found was shared container status was not reset after abortion of the job also. It is still showing as RUNNING status. i reset this and tried again and that also went in vain.

Suggest me how to get rid of this problem and to compile my job

Thanks

One thing that can give this message is that the job is still open, in another Designer, or Manager or Director. Check whether this is the case.

Then use LIST.READU command to find out what kind of lock is held, and by what process.
