JobInstanceAlreadyCompleteException

[jayasimhan]

Hi,

I need to execute my job again and again even if it is complete.
Even if i give restartable as true im getting exception.
What should be done for this?

			
	<bean id="hibernateJob" parent="simpleJob">
		<!-- set restartable=false so that this job can be used by more than one test -->
		<property name="restartable" value="true" />
		<property name="steps">
			<bean id="step1" parent="skipLimitStep">
				<property name="skipLimit" value="1" />
				<property name="itemReader" ref="hibernateItemReader" />
				<property name="itemWriter" ref="hibernateItemWriter" />
				<property name="commitInterval" value="1" />
				<property name="skippableExceptionClasses"	value="java.lang.Exception"/>
				<property name="listeners" ref="stepListener" /> 
				<property name="exceptionHandler" ref="exceptionHandler" />
				<property name="allowStartIfComplete" value="true" />
			</bean>
		</property>
	</bean>

Exception:
testLaunchJob(com.met.ib.upi.batch.test.HibernateJobFunctionalTests)org.springframework.batch.core.repository.JobInstanceAlreadyCompleteException: A job instance already exists and is complete for parameters={}{}{}{}.  If you want to run this job again, change the parameters.

Even if you want to run the 'Job' again multiple times, it still needs to be a separate 'JobInstance', so the framework can keep track of things like restartability, etc. Using different JobParameters for the separate runs is all you need to do.

hello,

I have the same problem as you and your post help me to resolve it!
When I add the instruction:builder.addLong("currTime", new Long(System.currentTimeMillis()));

my program work better with no exception.

However, only the first time my writter is called (just to print "hello world" on the screed).

Look this :

The HelloWorld print only one time on my screen... I need to call each time my writer... how to do?

Thank you very much

I don't think it's possible to say without seeing some more details of your job configuration and/or implementation.
