Getting error compiling a sequence

Post by prashanto_dev »

I am getting ERROR when I am compiling a sequence.

The Sequence has an exception link. The flow of exception link is like this:

exception stage ---> Notification Activity --> Terminator.

If I put a job between exception stage and Notification Activity then it is compiling fine.


exception stage ---> Notification Activity --> Terminator (NOT COMPILING)

exception stage ---> Notification Activity -->Job----> Terminator (COMPILING Successfully)

The error message is below:


Compiling: Source = 'RT_BP129/JOB.1380694116.DT.1480241521', Object = 'RT_BP129.O/JOB.1380694116.DT.1480241521'
***************************************************************************************************************************************
WARNING: Variable 'handle$list' never assigned a value.

Compilation Complete.

This warning does not prevent successful compilation. The variable handle$list contains a list of job handles - with no jobs in your job sequence, it is never assigned a value so you are alerted to this fact.

"They" could probably have done it better, but it will work as is.

Workaround: add a job that does nothing.

:? I'm sorry but what is the point of this Sequence? There's nothing to cause an exception in it nor anything to terminate.

Complete with a Job that does nothing, it could be the most useless Sequence ever :D
