Launching external job failed: Couldn't fork process?
552957Jul 10 2009 — edited Jul 10 2009Hi,
I've searched the forum but didn't see any similar problems. I'm trying to set up a simple remote job. The DB is on UNIX and the remote agent is on Windows XP on my laptop. Unfortunately I'm getting the following errors. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
