Compilation Error: No excclusive access to job ? Solution ??

[akash_nitj]

Hi All
I am getting the following error while compilation of job. Any way out :

Cannot get exclusive access to the executable file or job : job may be monitored

......help

rgds
akash

Turn off any Monitors? Get out of the job and see if it is still locked? Make sure it's not running? Do a Status file clear? Export and reimport the job?

Mostly in that order...

This message indicates that there is an edit (read for update) lock on the job design in the Repository database. It may mean any of a number of things including, but not limited to:

• job open in another Designer session
  
  job properties open in Manager
  
  job being monitored in Director
  
  job being debugged in another Designer session
  
  lock is held by a defunct process (did any client lose a connection while editing this job?)

It may be necessary for you or your Administrator to release any locks held for this job. You may be able to achieve this through the Director (Cleanup Resources option on Job menu) or you may need to invoke the DS.TOOLS menu in the DataStage environment on the server.

90% of the time I have seen this message, I have the Director's log view enabled for that job.

Get out of the Director's log view for that job, and it should work. If not, Ray offered quite a few other possible reasons for this.
