Bug 356923

Comment 1 Greg Watson 2011-09-13 22:28:41 EDT

Another problem also occurs when creating a new launch configuration. The first time the application is launched, the executable is not found. However if the launch configuration is opened and saved again, it works on the second launch.

I believe that bothe problems are both caused by the JAXB variable maps not getting updated correctly.

First reported by Jay Alameda:

Starting from scratch – creating new resource managers (pbs-batch and pbs-interactive), and then creating new runtime configs, one for each one, being careful to hit “apply” at the resources tab and then at the application tab, which should “set” everything – I noticed that the first time through, (this one interactive), the command line is not set:

Killing the job, and going back to the config,apps tab, hitting “apply” again, and rerunning, appears to make things ok:

This seems to be perhaps the case too for batch, but, I’m not sure.  I just tried again to repeat the steps, but moving from apps to resources and then viewing the script seems to show the correct command line.

I have committed a temporary fix to this problem that should be available in the next PTP build. Please test prior to COB SR1 RC4 (9/14) if possible.

I will have to contact Al Rossi to work out a permanent fix.

Comment 4 Jay Alameda 2011-09-14 13:07:08 EDT

Greg's temporary fix seems to have worked - my quick test today did not show the issue.

Comment 5 Greg Watson 2011-10-14 15:07:46 EDT

I have committed Al's fix to ptp_5_0 and HEAD.
