DOCUMENT:Q320638 06-AUG-2002 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Job Files May Back Up in the Scheduler.box Folder PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER::2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsms200 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Job files may back up in the SMS\Inboxes\Scheduler.box and the Inboxes\Replmgr.box\Ready folders on Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 parent and child sites. When this occurs, the Sched.log file may contain an entry that is similar to: ~ Updating status of minijob "Inter Site Replication".~ Need to generate send request for minijob.~ Skipping minijob. Could not retrieve the request ID CAUSE ===== This behavior can occur if the required .req and .job token files are deleted from the SMS\Inboxes\Scheduler.box\UID folder on the SMS site server. You must not rename, modify, or delete these token files. SMS does not delete these files under typical circumstances. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this behavior: 1. Use a text editor to create new token .req and .job files. 2. Use a text editor to create two empty text files named .job and .req, where is a number that is higher than the highest number in the file name of any files that are located in the SMS\Inboxes\Schedule.box folder. 3. Place these files in the SMS\Inboxes\Scheduler.box\UID folder.
