Job Deleted from Designer, but still it is there!!

[SURA]

Hello All

From this noon starting to get some strange issues in Datastage.

First when I tried to copy a job (right click and create copy) it was not allowed to copy by giving the error / warning "the job is being used by some other user". It starts to give this message to all the jobs that too for the jobs which is in a specific folder. Rest of the folders in the project is working fine.

Then I tried to delete a job under the same folder and it delete successfully.

But I can see the same job in the Designer, which I deleted!!

Then I tried to compile that deleted job. This time I am getting an error "No such job"

I don't know what is happening.

One of the team member did the reindex, server restart, but no luck.

It would be great if any one can guide us in this.

Thanks

As has been mentioned in a very similar topic in the past few days, contact your official support provider for the proper procedures to correct this issue.

It sounds like there was possibly some file corruption in the local repository and now the XMETA and local repositories may be out of sync.

You have performed regular backups (Exports) of your projects, yes?
