  • 1.  empty job in 11.1.7

    Posted 08/19/20 06:24 AM

    Another showstopper to go live with 11.1.7 for us is the job editor:

    If the jobs containing multiple reports which cannot be linked anymore. When renaming one of those reports all goes well, because then the job also renames that/those report(s). But when you delete a report totally, then the whole job seems to be empty! You then get an empty screen saying you can start a new job, not showing any of the former reports anymore…

    in 11.1.6 the workaround was: check ID number from job.

    open another job and switch to the classic view.

    edit the url from that classic view and replace the ID with ID from failing job.

    then we could relink the missing report again.

    now that workaround is not working any more.

    We've been having 3 issues with jobs in 11.1.5 lately and one of them is the same issue as yours. I was hoping if we'd upgrade it would fix the issue but it sounds like you are having the same issue in a higher version than us. Our issues: 1) When you click to edit some jobs it will show 'new job' instead and act like a new job completely and not show anything in the job you were editing and you can only then edit it from the admin console 2) When you edit some jobs it will still show you that you are in the job that you are clicked on but it looks like nothing is there, going to classic mode you are able to see it. 3) users are saving their job step run distributions and after they save and close out, it resets to default as if they never made a distribution
