Java scheduler job stuck as 'Starting' state

Hi All,

i'm trying to schedule a job in PI to periodically run an interface. i'm following these 2 blogs by Vikas Singh.

After deploying the ejb module, and creating task, when i go and check in Java scheduler: Job in NWA,i see that its in 'Satring' state and is stuck in that state for a day after which no entry for the job is found in Jobs tab

Looks like, the job is not getting scheduled.

Seeking for some pointers in this regard

Regards,

Rashmi
