Hi Chris, I have tried with the new batch_stub - same result. Attached is the oodt.out log file.
Moreover this is the exception from the batch_stub terminal: andrea@issa:~/oodt/resmgr/bin$ ./batch_stub 2001 [1] 2777 andrea@issa:~/oodt/resmgr/bin$ Jun 11, 2015 4:56:28 PM org.apache.oodt.cas.resource.system.extern.XmlRpcBatchStub <init> INFO: XmlRpc Batch Stub started by andrea Jun 11, 2015 4:58:38 PM org.apache.oodt.cas.resource.system.extern.XmlRpcBatchStub genericExecuteJob INFO: stub attempting to execute class: [org.apache.oodt.cas.workflow.structs.TaskJob] Jun 11, 2015 4:58:38 PM org.apache.oodt.cas.pge.PGETaskInstance createPgeMetadata INFO: Converting workflow configuration to static metadata...

I ran the job a second time and it worked again...attached also find a log file for this bit (oodt_2.out) Minor progress :) Now to get that resource manager working... Also: what can I do to file the JIRA ticket you need? Cheers, Andrea
