Job controle not running in V8

Hello,

We need to migrate job controle from version 7.1 to version 8. When I run the job in V8 it finishes but as if no job were attached to it. This job controle was designed in version 7.1 and run ok so far in this version.

Does anyone get this situation ?

Can I fix it or should I replace it by a job sequenceur ?

cheers

By "Job Control" do you mean you have a server job and call up the functions in the "Job Control" section? If so, did you really perform correct error checking in that hand-written code? Do you have a sample or sample output?

Sure we're not talking about the "KBA Job Control Utilities"?

I don't know what is KBA , but as you know there are two ways to schedule job : job sequenceur or job control. In this case we are using job control.

It would seem that there is some problem with the way the Job Control code is designed. Luckily, you can add calls to DSLogInfo() or DSLogWarn() through the code to see what is happening and to debug it. The first thing would be to put a call to DSLogInfo() right before and right after the call to DSExecute and display all parameter values.

I've tested to run the job in version 7.1 and is behaving in the same way now ...

Meaning what... that you actually have no problem now?

Yes, the job control was waiting for some text file in order to start.
