monitoring

[akaras]

I have set 3 or 4 processes up to monitor. I have also set input distributions in each of these processes to move the files to another location. For some reason the jobs are not starting when the input file drops in.
Is there a step I am missing?
Any Ideas?
Thanks.

Akaras, did you check all the items in the Help system's "When a Job Fails to Run" topic (see the Troubleshooting book)? I would take a look at this first, as doing so will help to eliminate a number of possible reasons why your jobs aren't running. For example:

Is the Monarch Data Pump service Running?
Is the Task Scheduler service running?
Are you sure the correct input folder was specified?
Does the specified input file exist?
Does the specified project file exist?
Are there any input file prerequisites or process prerequisites that haven't been met?

A couple of additional questions: how many input files are you using, and what File Existence Criteria have you specified on the Input tab? If you are using multiple input files and you selected "All specified files must exist", the job won't run unless all the input files are present.

I checked all of these. The jobs run fine manually. The monitoring just does not seem to be functioning properly.

Another thought,

Does the account under which the Data Pump service is running have access to the folders.

Additionally, if they are network locations, are you using UNC?
