Are you sure you are running kjb file in both machines? – Marlon Abeykoon
Yes, I am same kjb file – ANURAG
I have the same error. I am running a KJB file with one KJR file in it. The KJR runs fine by itself. The KJB throws this error. Anyone find a fix? – nicomp

Aren't you trying to run a KTR file instead of a KJB?

Take a look:

Are you sure if you are using ****Start**** step while writing a job. P.S. Each Pentaho job needs a start step to execute.
