  • 1.  Job is getting blocked

    Posted Nov 27, 2024 02:38 PM

    Hi Community,

    I have configured a job to transfer the file from source to multiple targets, target jobs i have placed in parellel to run so that i couldnot erase the file from source. So for deletion of file from source i have created a delete job and running it here.

    The delete command is working fine but the job is going for blocked state in every execution, because of the job is blocked the workflow is also getting blocked. No conditions set in properties and no other commands mentioned in job. Quick response is highly appreciated,

    Hi, are there any conditions defined at the successor task?

    Hi Markus,

    No conditions defined anywhere in the job.

    Seems like a bug for me.

    Please confirm.

    What exactly is the status on the blocked job?  (e.g., ENDED_OK?  ENDED_NOT_OK?  FAULT_OTHER in postconditions?)

    Do you have any dependencies defined on the task(s) that follows it (not shown in your screenshot) that might be causing the block?

    Hi Daryl,

    The jobs execution is showing as ended ok, but in the workflow job is showing as blocked. The file is getting deleted from the path, no errors seen in report.

    PFB,

    Ok, right, but what task(s) immediately follows this JOBS.FTPAGENT.AUTOMIC_FROM_DELETE_UAE_IBAL job?  (As I said, you omitted the next task(s) in the workflow from your screenshot.) Those are the dependencies I'm interested in -- I think that's the most likely what's causing the block.  Is one of them mistakenly using a dependency of ENDED_NOT_OK else Block, or something similar?

    Hi @Shravya Devadiga

    which information is shown in the right-side Details pane when marking the blocked Task in Process Monitor graphical view? 

    1. Please click on the Details button at the top right to show the Details pane. 
    2. Expand the left side of the pane as much to the left as possibel
    3. Mark the blocked (= yellow) Task
    4. Examine the information given

    Would you be so kind and share all the information displayed in the Details pane? Please expand the pane as max as possible to the left before making a screenshot.

    Thanks Michael
