  • 1.  12.3.1 - jobs ENDED_VANISHED

    Posted Nov 19, 2019 12:51 PM
    Hi all,
    We recently upgraded from AE11.2 to 12.3 and we have some large workflows having jobs that end up with a status of 'ENDED_VANISHED - disappeared'.
    This does not happen to all jobs, and the logs these jobs do not seem to contain any errors.
    The jobs can be restarted and complete successfully
    This is happening to jobs on two different servers
    It does not happen to the same jobs each time, but they are the same type of job: unix job running a command to execute a shell script
    It only happens to  some large workflows that have a number of jobs running parallel.

    I plan to open a ticket today if we don't make any progress but I wanted to see if anyone had suggestions.

    thank you

    Hi

    did you check Agent logs for errors?
    We had a similar issue, on one of our our linux servers was ulimit for max user processes on 1024 - jobs occasionally crashed. restart worked fine.

    cheers, Wolfgang

    Hi,
    Wolfgang, thank you for your response.
    We narrowed down the problem and a colleague posted a more detailed question later (After upgrade from 11.2 to 12.3, command style unix jobs have 'ENDED_VANISHED' status).   We've had several responses that have led us to upgrading the unix agent to 12.3.1 and we'll be testing that today.
