Problem Symptoms

When attempting to run a GDC job, job fails with following error in log:

Cause

The dialect file (gdc.dsl) is not loading.

Resolution

• Open an Incident to request Support reload the gdc.dsl.
   
• Alternatively, if you feel comfortable doing this yourself, follow these steps:

1. SSH to your Voyager server and login as the voyager user.
2. cd /m1/voyager/xxxdb/ini
3. Ensure that gdc.dsl exists in this directory. If not, contact Voyager Support.
4. cd ../sbin
5. ./Prulemgmt -a d -p /m1/voyager/xxxdb/ini/gdc.dsl -n gdc.dsl
6. You should receive a success message:
/m1/voyager/xxxdb/ini/gdc.dsl succesfully written to database as name gdc.dsl 

After receiving the success message, restart jobd by typing the following in the same /sbin directory (you may need to kill jobd first):

1. ./Pjobd

Additional Information

A similar but not identical error log entry can be generated by problems in your rule.  One method that might be helpful to identify any errors in your rule is to run the job that is failing in Preview mode in Job Management > "Do not update database" mode and check the jobd.log file.
