Problem
Preparation for a Server Job Unit Test execution occurs prior to the job actually starting. If you use start a Unit Test execution and the job never changes to the Queued/Running state or the "Starting Job..." message does not appear in the job log, then it is likely that the preparation phase of Unit Testing failed and the job execution never started.
Solution
Longer term, these errors will appear in the director logs just like when unit testing parallel jobs. For now though, errors can be checked by looking at the Unit Testing log which is written to <Project Root Directory>/&PH&/ on the DataStage engine. Where DSU.STUB.log<Project Root Directory> is usually $DSHOME/../Projects/<Project Name>/.
