Had an issue last night that in 25 years working with Lawson I've never seen. I had a batch job (that's been running for 3 years without issue), that has 66 steps. On step 26 it failed and went into needs recovery. Only error msg as "Stopped on Exit 1". Any attempt to recover the job resulted it in going back into needs recovery immediately. Tried putting a trace on the program to see where it was failing and it wasn't getting into the program. Appears to be a hiccup in the job scheduler and it "lost it's place". I had to create another job, with all the remaining steps and run that and that worked fine. Has anyone seen anything like this happen in the job scheduler? We are on Version 10 on-premise. Thx

I have seen it a lot recently on LSF 10 on windows.

Wow - that's very disconcerting. We are on Linux but if the issue is occurring on Windows, it's not all that surprising that we are seeing it. I've opened a ticket with Infor but I'm not sure they are going to be much help because even though it is clearly a job scheduler issue - the programs being run are custom programs .. But this is very ugly when it happens and I hope this doesn't mean it is going to start happening more often.
