Hi Community,
We use SAS Merchandise Financial Planning - 9.4
I am experiencing an weird issue in SAS MFP Batch Processor since last 2 weeks, my batch process is not running but still the SAS Job Batch jobs are getting kicked off which are scheduled in BPJQ_Job_Queue, I am not seeing the any process running for Batch processor in our App Server when I grep it , not sure which process picking up the Batch Jobs , I am seeing below scheduling process in running state when I grep for 'SAS' , however not sure if this process picks the batch jobs and running them. let me know if anyone experienced similar issue with batch processor like I am having. Thanks in Advance!
Process :

If this was running previously then something has changed. It helps to determine what. If it wasn't code in the job itself that changed then you may need to work with your IT and/or SAS admin folks to see what may have been changed.
Updates to scheduling software, operating system, network settings, SAS settings, SAS updates or hot fixes. All sorts of things might come into a change of behaviors.
There are unlikely to be many SAS Community users with hands-on experience with MFP since it's a specialist product. You will likely need help with troubleshooting so I suggest opening a Tech Support track is your best option. BTW, your problem has nothing to do with Visual Analytics which is a different product entirely.
yes you are right, I didn't find the right community to post my query, BTW I am working with SAS Tech Support also on this
