Non-informative fatal error

Post by danthony74 »

Hi,
We just migrated a job to production. The sequencer that runs the jobs has not changed, other than the addition of two new parameters which get passed through to the jobs.

The Sequencer posts the following message to the log.
Attempting to Cleanup after ABORT raised in stage masterSequence..JobControl

There is no further information provided. The immediate prior log entry was setting the environment variables.

Can anyone suggest where I should look for the possible cause of the error - or another location to examine for the cause of the error?

Thanks very much.

Cheers,

Dan

When you reset the Job Sequence (that's reset, not re-compile) are there any additional diagnostic messages logged, especially "from previous run" messages?
You might also look in the &PH& directory in the project on the server for files containing error information. Use grep to look for words like "Error", "Abort", "Warn".
(Beware of the ampersands in the directory name!)
