Error code=-99

Post by chaitanb »

HI ,

Around 30 jobs are being run from one Seq.
After 20 jobs are complete. I get this error message in the DS Seq for one of the jobs and the Seq Aborted.
seqMinor2..JobControl (@BEPolExtn): Controller problem: Error calling DSRunJob(BuildBEPolExtn), code=-99
[General repository interface 'other error']

None of the jobs aborted, except for the Main Sequence.
My manager is pretty frustrated for not getting a reason as to why the job failed. Can any one please explain why this error would have occured.

Thanks in Advance,

Welcome aboard. :D

A couple of thoughts. Frustration would best be directed to whomever is your support provider. They get paid the big bucks to solve problems like this, have you opened up a case with them?

Unfortunately, that '-99' error is an unknown or 'catch-all' type error and will take some digging to resolve. Have you searched the forums here for that message? I did for General repository interface 'other error' and got several hits, some of which were marked as Resolved. See if anything there helps you. I suspect you'll find you are running too many jobs at the same time and you may need to either run fewer at once, or perhaps there's a need to increase a uvconfig parameter.

Anyway, check those other posts and then let us know where things stand.

Thank you,
I was able to find in the previous posts. It is probably too many jobs running in the same time. We have to either reduce the # of jobs running or increase the UVCONFIG parameters.

Thanks Chat
