Unable to compile a parallel job after it aborts

[sairamkrish]

Hi,

Whenever i try compiling a parallel job after it aborts due to some reason i get a message as below

Cannot get exclusive access to executable file for job Jbname

Tried clean up resources option in the director , but it does not have any locks or resources to release. Please let me know the solutions

Thanks
Krishna

You need to make sure that every process (conductor, section leaders, players) associated with the jobs is logged out, is not holding any locks, network resources, file units or other resources.

From the command prompt run the following to make sure there doesnt exist any locks.

Code: Select all

. $DSHOME/dsenv 
$DSHOME/bin/list_readu | grep jobname

IF you find any you can use UNLOCK option from TCL, since you have already tried using the director, the above may not be much helpful. As the final leftout option, you can use KILL to kill that particular process id.

You need to look in the job log to find out what processes were involved.

Also check if any of the jobs with different invocation id is still running for this job. If so stop that job and then try compiling the original job.

Even if the Monitor is kept open, it would result in the same. Make sure even this Monitor Window[in Director, if you have opened it up] is closed and try compiling

Hi Krishna,

Clear the status files for the job (Without invocation ID) and then try to compile the job.It should work.

Thanks,
Amit
