Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to trap the error code that a JAL script generates when it fails runing on a remote agent. The Master scheduler just gets a -1 return which saids the remote job failed. The actual error message is on the Remote Agent computer. I know that I can create my own error messages to say the job failed on a certain command but without the scheduler error code/message I can't say WHY it failed.

Thank you for your help,

John

You can try to read and parse the log file on the agent.

Alternatively you can rewrite your script to look like the following:

Dim GLOBAL.last_error, number

OnErrorGoTo label_1

statement-block
OnErrorGoTo label_2

statement-block
OnErrorGoTo label_3

statement-block
Exit

label_1:

Set GLOBAL.last_error, 1

Exit
label_2:

Set GLOBAL.last_error, 2

Exit
label_3:

Set GLOBAL.last_error, 3

Exit

You can then pass the value stored in the GLOBAL.last_error variable back to the Master. Please see previous message thread for "how to..."

I already have SET GLOBAL and GetRemoteVariable statements in the jobs to get messages from the remote agent but they are just messages that "I" create. I want to get the error code that the scheduler generates and put THAT into the global variable.

According to your previous message the only way to do that is to parse the schedule.log file.
