Error: E0505 : E0505: App definition

Please check below property from job properties file-

oozie.wf.application.path

This should point to HDFS directory where you have workflow.xml and coordinator.xml

Note that if the path DOES exist but does not contain a workflow.xml or coordinator.xml, you will still receive the same, slightly misleading App definition ... does not exist error.

First you put the workflow.xml in the given oozie.wf.application.path using hadoop fs -put workflow-full-path to-oozie-wf-application-path script,

later you run the oozie script like below said -

bin/oozie job --oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie/ -config /home/arif/applications/hadoop/oozie-4.3.0/apps/sqoop/job.properties -run

I have defined the job.properties file like this -

nameNode=hdfs://localhost:9000jobTracker=localhost:9001queueName=defaultvalue_dfs=1examplesRoot=/user/oozie/sqoopexampleRootDir=${examplesRoot}/oozie-moviesdb-sqoopoozie.use.system.libpath=trueoozie.wf.application.path=${nameNode}${examplesRoot}/

hope it will helps anyone by coming on this thread, thanks.

I had the similar problem in running the workflow. The name of my workflow was wf-somename.xml which was the culprit. I later changed the name to workflow.xml from wf-somename.xml and that has worked for me.
