Hi Bill,

Can you give me a hint on how to start a job in a specified Group? The jobname itself is not unique and exists in multiple Groups. Something like:

Group: Level-1

SubGroup: Level-2_A

Job: Job-1

Subgroup: Level-2_B

Job: Job-1

The code I'm using is like below.

When I change 'Job' to 'job = appl + "/" + region + "/" + job;', or use '\\' instead, it is not found??

Thanks Bill.

public void StartAdtempusJob(ref ListView lvMsg, ref int msgCnt, string job, bool waitResult)

{

using (DataContext context = aScheduler.NewDataContext())

{

try

{

var aJob = context.GetJob(job);

if (aJob == null)

{

msgCnt += 1;

var item4 = new ListViewItem(new[] { "(W) Job '" + job + "' not found",

msgCnt.ToString().PadLeft(4,'0') });

lvMsg.Items.Add(item4);

return;

}

var settings = new JobExecutionSettings();

settings.Options = JobExecutionOptions.ForceNewInstance;

//MessageBox.Show(aJob.JobVariables.GetVariable("Jr").ToString());

var result = aJob.Execute(settings);

if (!result.JobSubmitted)

{ ...

Your second post is empty, so I don't know where you are with this, but GetJob("level-1\\level-2_a\\job-1") is the correct way to do it (documentation here). If that's not finding it then there's something wrong with the name you've constructed.
