DSXchange

Hi:
When I make changes to a one particular job and save the changes, I get the message This prevents me from saving changes. I deleted the job and imported from backup. I still get the error.
Has anybody come across this error? Appreciate any suggestions on why this is happening and how to fix this.

Thanks!

You need to check permissions both in the project directory and also in the XMETA database.

Can you please let me know how this would be the cause of the error, if it happened to be in a particular Job.

ROOT refers to a record in DS_JOBOBJECTS table in the local (project) repository and in the equivalent table (whatever it's called) in the XMETA common metadata database.

I suggest you check the WAS logs for errors, you may find something relevant to this job. I believe that the XMETA representation of the job has become corrupt, and that you will need help from your support provider to remove the job from XMETA, and restore from a backup.

Thanks everyone. I checked the WAS system logs (SystemOut.log and SystemErr.log) and I dont find any entries relating to this Condition. In fact there are no Error entries in the log around the time I had this error coming up. I shall check back with IBM support as you had suggested and post the response here. Thanks once again!
