If you right click on the job in Flow Manager, you should see an option to view runtime attributes, which should include the log file for that particular job. Typically it should be under <config>\Lev1\SASApp\BatchServer\Logs (depending on how your environment is configured).

Hi,
We have only first job log entry in batch logs , second job is not triggering which is in same flow.

@SwagatPatil can you clarify what you have tried in respect to @AjmalFarzam reply?
Each leaves a return code which should be visible in LSF.
Also make sure the job doesn't have other dependencies than previous job completion.

So we have one flow where multiple jobs are in one flow. Condition is one job is completed then second will check for error exit code which is less than equal to 1 then second will start.
I have checked the log in batchserver log. We have only first job log entry where i didn’t find any error in that log. So ideally second job should trigger after first job completion.

The solution is here:

Edit:

I didn't remember it was a longer thread. Sorry...

The solution is to edit your "E:\SAS\Config\Lev1\SASApp\BatchServer\sasbatch.bat" and remove the REM-statements in the end of the script...

Your post is regarding xcmd command enabling that i have already done by setting xcmd in sasbatch.sh file. I didn’t get What exactly you are trying to say.

Hi,

Are you sure the first job is finishing with the right exit code? Does it turn blue in Flow Manager?

As Christian suggests, you might need to uncomment the last 5 lines of sasbatch.sh to allow SAS jobs that complete with warnings to return an exit code of zero. Some more info on this can be found at https://support.sas.com/rnd/scalability/grid/platformfaq.html
