Hi,

These are steps I am following

1. Create a parameter set prm_x
2. Create a job and add parameter set prm_x
3. Update parameter set prm_x. Eg: Add new parameter
4. Click on view parameters in job. Parameter set is not updated in job
5. Remove the parameter set in job and add it again. Parameter set is not updated in job

What should be done for modified parameter set to get updated in job?

Thanks...

Check that step #3 actually succeeded.

Yes. Step 3 is successful. Just found that this is not happening at all times.

The other reason could be is some else is holding your parameter set while you are adding it

Or someone else is compiling the jobs before you have compiled with the new set of parameters.

Let us know if this is one of the reasons?

Sorry? It is successful... sometimes?

Its neither of the reasons... It still looks strange for me. It works at times and in some jobs

Make sure that when performing step 3:

1) Only one person is attempting to modify the parameter set (Designer should handle this)
2) After adding a new parameter, you have clicked on Ok and exited the parameter set (especially if running multiple Designer sessions).

Have you identified the conditions under which the parameter set changes are not seen and can you reproduce the problem at will?

I think I experienced the same a little while back. Parameter set content doesn't change very often, so I didn't try to reproduce the error for a definitive bug analysis.

My workaround was to close the designer client after updating the parameter set.

What I think may be happening is that the parameter set is somehow cached in memory that doesn't get updated, so while in the same designer session, you may not see the updates.

Thanks Mike. This work-around helped.

Your work around saved me. Thanks Mike!
