Script fails when run by sa_scheduler

ali_hijazi — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 17:59:49 GMT

Hello I'm using QDF in my script

my script starts as follows:
SET vG.BasePath=; //Clear cache
SET vG.SharedBasePath=; //Clear cache
SET vG.RootContainer='QDF_ROOT';
SET vG.HomeContainer='6.PSA';
$(Must_Include=lib://$(vG.RootContainer)/$(vG.HomeContainer)/InitLink.qvs);

I created a new task to run the script under the QVF but it fails at must_include line:
5-15 06:53:54 Error: $(MUST_INCLUDE failed: lib://QDF_ROOT/6.PSA/InitLink.qvs
2019-05-15 06:53:54 $(MUST_INCLUDE failed: lib://QDF_ROOT/6.PSA/InitLink.qvs
2019-05-15 06:53:54 Execution Failed
2019-05-15 06:53:54 Execution finished.

but script runs successfully when I reload the script manually
kindly advise

My best guess is that the connection you're using isn't globally available for your "sa_scheduler" user. That's why it would work if you're running it manually, but not when scheduled. I'd start there with your connection permissions.

Which connection you mean?

The script is failing at the point where I'm referencing the InitLink.qvs

It's most likely an issue with the QDF_ROOT library connection. It can't find the "InitLink.qvs" file when run by the scheduler, which points to the library connection isn't available to all users.

Hi, as already mentioned:

first the service account running scheduler service in Windows need to have access to the disk you are reading from
Second the scheduler account need access to the data file connections (libs) used in your script as the scheduling is running under this account.

Hope this helps, regards
