Deadline monitor wont start XML (0,0) error

Deadline

Error booting up monitor:

An error occurred while gathering the repository data:
There is an error in the XML document (0,0). (System.InvalidOperationException)
It is likely that there is a stalled slave in the network that is not giving up its lock on one or more files in the repository.

Ive checked the slaves in the repository and there are no locked files… I dont see any locked files pertinent to this… Ive rebooted the server and still get the same error. The jobs are being submitted and rendering but cannot open the monitor.
Any ideas???

Is it normal that all jobs have a locked file as well???

It looks like a corrupt job is causing the monitor to crash. Which version of Deadline are you currently running? This sounds like an issue we fixed in the initial 5.1 release (5.1.46114).

The solution is to manually delete the offending job from the repository. Can you send us the log from the Monitor after it crashes? With the Launcher running, you can right-click on it and select Explore Log Folder to find the log folder. Hopefully it will contain the job id, which will point us to the job you need to delete.

Thanks!
