The Crontab runs fine just gives the datasource error when trying to execute the taf...
Yes, we are on Solaris and would be interested in lunch...

Hi Jon,
You're on Solaris or Linux aren't you?
I think you are describing two different problems right? ~~ Intermittent datasource connection? ~~ Crontab won't run at all?
Because Crontabs are executed by the Server and not a browser on another
machine, the typical problem with Crontabs is that the Server cannot find
the address - even if the target is itself.
Try executing the Crontab from a browser on the Server. On Windows this is
often fixed by entering the target address in the HOSTS file.
And just as a guess, when you add your two problems together it almost
sounds like a Networking issue - the Server cannot resolve an address or
something.
Just guessing - hope this helps.
By the way, I live in Calgary now - maybe we should do lunch sometime :-)
Cheers.......

I am getting the following error from Tango -- it seems to be having difficulty sometimes connecting to the database. This only happens sometimes -- the same taf runs the next time. Our crontab job always fails but if I execute the taf manually, it is successful...
[Error] -4 Unable to connect to the specified data source. Verify that data source is properly configured and that database server is online.
