Protocol error is caused by agent/server configuration. Have admin check it. Syntax for ctmvar on a windows server would be: ctmvar -ACTION SET -VAR "%%#%%#\SONYELC_D_PROGUPLD\SONYELCPROGDROPPATH" -varexpr "\\hhdhpfpapp04\HPF_Client_Files\ETAutomation\SonyElectronics\Programs\ProspectsDynam_20130207...

Thank you! So simple and works perfect.

Make sure you are cleaning prerequisite conditions. I run a job every day 30 minutes before newday that will remove all conditions older than 7 days. ctmcontb -DELETEFROM "*" %%TOMORROW %%TODATE In set tab: FD = %%$CALCDATE %%$ODATE +1 TD = %%$CALCDATE %%$ODATE -7 TOMORROW = %%SUBSTR %%FD 5 4 TODATE...

Is there a way to schedule a job to run on the last day of the month without creating a custom calendar?

Hello All,

I would like to execute a script from a DO_CMD in a ctmfw rules file. Is there a way to pass a success /failure code back the the ctmfw job so the job block will turn red (fail) if the script fails?

Best Regards

Place the part that "chookgate" wrote in the set tab scheduling group tab.

If you are calling the file name on the command line you would just do this. "Berechnung_%%PARM1..xls"

If you are calling the file name in a script use %%PARM1 as a positional parameter.

Thank you both!

Great suggestions. Very big help.

I have a job that must be dependant upon its predecessor - a FW job - finishing, or if the time gets to 11:15am. That is: If the predecessor completes - start the job, or if the time is 11:15am and the predecessor has not completed - start the job. I am hoping someone has tackled this issue and can ...

Hi, I use this query to get run times. (found it on this forum a while back. :D ) select substring(TIMESTMP,1,8)as DATE,JOBNAME, cast((ELAPTIME/6000.00)as decimal(6,2)) as MINUTES from CMR_RUNINF where CMR_RUNINF.SCHEDTAB='name of scheduling group' and CMR_RUNINF.TIMESTMP > 20100601000000 order by J...

Thank-you! I was able to use the IOALOG table to aid in finding the job disapeared due to another job in a completely different scheduling group having the exact same out condition as the predecessor of the job that vanished. This caused the job to run on 1/1 and be removed from the AJF on the 1/2 n...
