Parallel Computing Toolboxstartjobmanagerstopjobmanager

I am creating a new job using the function CREATEJOB in the Parallel Computing Toolbox 3.3 (R2008a) and I receive the following error:
 ??? Error when using the 'job' section of the configuration 'jobmanagerconfig1':
 Java exception occurred:
 java.lang.RuntimeException: IO Error when creating blob: Area not found in bin chain!  pos = 4091236528 store = [
 JournalledFileStore: BlobStore ]
    at com.mckoi.database.TableDataConglomerate.createNewLargeObject(TableDataConglomerate.java:2248)
    at com.mckoi.database.DatabaseConnection.createNewLargeObject(DatabaseConnection.java:1055)
 ...
I have been able to create this job in the past, but it is no longer working.
I am able to create another job with no file dependencies.

This occurs because of a build-up of old jobs when one fails to use the DESTROY command after executing a job.
As a workaround, stop the job manager with the command
stopjobmanager
and then restart the job managers using the command
startjobmanager -clean
This will clean the job manager of all the job and task data. Now, you will be able to use the CREATEJOB function to create new jobs.
