Change in the scheduled program arguments

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

We noticed recently there is a change in the scheduled program arguments after BODS upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2.

We are using BOE scheduler for BODS Jobs to combine them in object package. It is working fine for old scheduled programs. Where as for newly created schedules it is missing some of the key arguments such as -w (The job launcher starts the job(s) and then waits before passing back the job status). When we add it manually to the program, it is not waiting like old programs.

We have searched SAP knowledge base, we don't have a clue. We have tried in all the config files in BO and BODS servers. Still unable to find to pass the arguments.

Old Program arguments as below:

-w "inet:XXXXXXX:3500" "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

+kKKIV54QKCPs5LylqhxqSlps=-----END CERTIFICATE-----" "SCH_JB_XXXXXXXXXXX"

New Program arguments as below:

"inet:XXXXXXX:3500" "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

+kKKIV54QKCPs5LylqhxqSlps=-----END CERTIFICATE-----" "SCH_JB_XXXXXXXXXXX"

We have added and saved manually "-w" to the program. Still it's not working as expected.

Any suggestions, ideas will be appreciated.

Can you configure a a new job server on port 3501 and then try with the export execution command for the new jobs.

Thanks Arun for the response.

Unfortunately we don't have option to create new job server due to controlled environment. Export execution command works fine from BODS, we have already verified it.

The actual issue lies with BOE scheduler.

We are not sure whether it's a bug or some thing which we need to explore more on the features.

Hence, I brought up into the discussion here.
