Failed to open RT_LOG2377 file

Post by z035011 »

Hi,
I tried to compile one job through designer then I got the error "Cannot get exclusive access to executable file for job <job_name> - job may be being monitored" .Then I unlocked all the jobs by command UNLOCK ALL.
Again when I tried to run the job i got the error "Failed to open RT_LOG2377 file"...
One more doubt : I am not able to find the job in director but it is showing in designer.
Could you please help me out here..?

some file/process is locked for this job id 2377

try

ps-ef|grep 2377

you may get some process in your server.

and

in ds command List all process, you can be some process for this job id 2377

unlock that

You just went out and unlocked ALL jobs? :? Bad Idea.

If you can't see the job listed in the Director then your project has become corrupted, possibly from your overzealous use of the UNLOCK verb. You'll probably as a first effort need to try and REINDEX the project, search the forum for that word or DS.TOOLS for discussions on how that is done.

there is no any process with PID 2377.

Actually I have already reindexed the job before posting this topic.

You don't reindex jobs, you reindex projects. Have you checked inside the project directory to see if the RT_LOG2377 hashed file exists, is incomplete or has permissions problems?

2377 is not a pid, it is a job number.

This lock is usually taken if the job is open in Director log view (or has been opened by a now-defunct process).

It is locks that you need to address, not indexes or processes.

I was asking about the Project indexing based on this comment:

Of course, it could just be operator error. [shrug]

I run the command ps -ef | grep 2377 but there is no any process running......
I am not able to find the job in director so I cannot find the job PID and all the logs ....

Actually I reindex the project itself not the job (my mistake I wrote the job)

How can I move forward to comeup with this error......?
