The MettleCI Bamboo Plugin Fails When Compiling a Job

Problem

MettleCI logs indicate that compilation commences but the process never completes or Bamboo’s hung build detection kills the processes:

The dscc.exe command line utility included as part of the DataStage Client will indicate that it is initializing but never complete when it is run under the Local System account in Windows:

Solution

Please verify that any Bamboo or Bamboo Remote Agent Services you have installed on Windows are running as a user other than Local System

To change an existing service to run as another user

1. Right click your service and select “Properties”

   Open

   

    

2. Click the “Log On” tab, Select “This account” and click the “Browse…” button.

   Open

   

    

3. Enter the username of that account you wish to use in the textbox and click “Check Names”

   If your username is not found after clicking “Check Names”, click the “Locations…” button and select “Entire Directory”.

4. Save all changes restart the Service.
