A failure occurred while waiting for a process to complete.

Resolving The Problem


This problem is not reproducible and it doesn't happen every night....it has happened 3 times in 2 months (with the EBR running every night). Running the EBR manually will always work.

Since this is a Windows Server, try replacing statements


    "net stop IMSService" with "start /WAIT net stop IMSService",

    "initfnsw -y stop" with "start /WAIT initfnsw -y stop", etc. in the "EBR_full_off_bkup.cmd" script.

    The sleep statements may not be long enough, but using"start /wait", will force the statement to complete before continuing.
