Hi there,

Does anybody have a idea what is going wrong?? :confused:

Recently we've installed BaaN (SP25) on a new server.
During migration tests, we couldn't start the BaaNJobDaemon
If we check the properties of the JobDaemon within BaaNMan, the
command of jobd.bwc is set to -- ttaad5206m000.
If the service is started, the command spontaneously changed to
-- ottiexdbup e:/baan/tmp/ottiexdbup.0 45 and the service won't
start. We have to restart the server, because the service stays 'starting'
If we changed the command to ttaad5206m000, it changes again when
the service is started.

I was wondering why the command is set to "-- ottiexdup ......" :-?

The command should be -- ttaad5206m000 as you have above.

I have seen durring the startup where the command gets changed durring startup. In eather case, I always keep a jobd.bak file for the jobd.bwc file. When the JobDaemon doesn't start, I always just issue the command "kill jobd.exe", delete jobd.bwc, copy jobd.bak jobd.bwc.

I then start the jobd service and it always starts OK.

Thanks Roy.

Now I understand a bit what happend. BaaN clears out the password, when set.
If you check the configuration of jobd, there is no password set. But if you check the file jobd.bwc with a editor, the password is needed otherwise it will not work. Restoring the .bak file including the password will do the trick. :D
