# Why does my cron subscription never become ready?
{: #ts-cronsub-notready}
{: troubleshoot}

A cron subscription was created, but it does not have a `ready` status.
{: tsSymptoms}

The destination app or job does not exist.
{: tsCauses}


Check the cron subscription to see whether any error messages are returned by using the [**`ibmcloud ce sub cron get --name SUB_NAME`**](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-cli&format=markdown#cli-subscription-cron-get) command. 
{: tsResolve}

If the error message shows `NotFound : Sink not found`, then your destination app or job is not available. Use the [**`ibmcloud ce app list`**](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-cli&format=markdown#cli-application-list) or the [**`ibmcloud ce job list`**](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-cli&format=markdown#cli-job-list) command to verify that your destination app exists. If the app or job doesn't exist, create the application with the [**`ibmcloud ce app create`**](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-cli&format=markdown#cli-application-create) command or create the job with the [**`ibmcloud ce job create`**](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-cli&format=markdown#cli-job-create) command.
