Data flow fails to run from a job scheduler in the System Runtime Context
Resolve issues with running a data flow from a job scheduler that is configured to use the System Runtime Context (SRC).
Condition
A job scheduler that is configured to run in the SRC fails to execute a data flow activity. The server node logs contain an error message that the system could not start the data flow, as in the following example:
Unable to find dataflow rule [PegaCRM-Entity-Contact.LoadRelIntData] com.pega.pegarules.pub.generator.RuleNotFoundException: Failed to find a 'RULE-DECISION-DDF' with the name 'LOADRELINTDATA' that applies to 'PegaCRM-Entity-Contact'. There were 3 rules with this name in the rulebase, but none matched this request. The 3 rules named 'LOADRELINTDATA' defined in the rulebase are: 3 related to applies-to class 'PegaCRM-Entity-Contact', but were defined in rulesets which are not in your rulesetlist: {SA-Artifacts_Branch_RDchanges:01-01-01, SA-Artifacts_Branch_RelInt_Rev1:01-01-01, SA-Artifacts:08-05-01}
Caused by: com.pega.dsm.dnode.api.dataflow.service.DataFlowActivationException: Could not start run DataFlowRunConfig{serviceInstanceName=Batch, runId=, className=PegaCRM-Entity-Contact, ruleName=LoadRelIntData, accessGroup=PRPC:Agents} at com.pega.dsm.dnode.impl.dataflow.task.StartRunTask.startRun(StartRunTask.java:104) ~[d-node.jar:?] at com.pega.dsm.dnode.impl.dataflow.service.DataFlowRunManagerImpl.start(DataFlowRunManagerImpl.java:76) ~[d-node.jar:?]

Cause
Data flows can only run in the context of the access group that is specified in the pyAccessGroup property in the Data-Decision-DDF-RunOptions class, or if this property is not set, the access group of the current thread.
A job scheduler that is configured to run in the SRC uses a different mechanism to determine the context in which to execute an activity. This context is the run-time list of rulesets that is maintained in the SRC. In such cases, the job scheduler does not operate on a single access group, and does not set the access group of the current thread. As a result, the job scheduler might fail to execute a data flow, unless the access group is explicitly passed on to the data flow. To achieve this, add a step to the data flow activity to set the pyAccessGroup property for the data flow, as described in the following procedure.
Setting the access group for a data flow to run from a job scheduler that uses the System Runtime Context
- In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click Records.
- Expand the SysAdmin category, and then click Job Scheduler.
- In the Context field, ensure that Use System Runtime Context is selected.
- Click the Open icon to the right of the Activity field.
- On the Pages & Classes tab, ensure that the
list contains a page with the following parameters:
Page name: RunOptions Class: Data-Decision-DDF-RunOptions - On the Steps tab, add a step to the activity
with the following settings:
- Method: Property-Set
- Step page: RunOptions
- PropertiesName: pyAccessGroup
- PropertiesValue: access group to be used to run the data flow
- Click Save as, and then click Create and open.
- Click Save.
