Pending jobs

[Dewa Negara_4]

Hi All,

I have a problem with my job scheduling. I have a script to schedule the job using SD commands. The scheduling was running well, but the status of the job always "Pending" instead of "Complete". Pls refer to the output below.

Anyone can help how to troubleshoot why the job always says "Pending"?

Please help. High score will be given.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Best Regards,
Dewa

Hi,

If the job with SD command, you can check the logs at /var/adm/sw and the status of the software fileset with :

# swlist -l fileset -a state

Hope this information can help you.

Thanks a lot.

It's still a bit strange for me. Logically after scheduling the job, the status will be "Scheduled", then it should change to "Active", and then change to "Complete" upon completion.

But in my case, the status was changed from "Scheduled" to "Pending" without doing anything. Pls refer to the output below.

Appreciate if anyone could help.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Is your job waiting for any inputs ? Just a thought.

Hi,

Thanks.

I do not think so since when I did a test on another depot server, it was working well.
