Batch Scheduler Failing Randomly

Hi all -
I have a batch scheduled to run on demand.  It runs on ~130 custom members.  A few months ago it started failing on random custom members.  It will run successfully on most, but failed on some with the error:
Problems encountered in "Financial Reports/01 - Monthly Financials/GA Reports/GA Burst Reports"
ADM Error processing results from query: The remote procedure call failed.
Every time the members it fails on are different and the number of failures fluctuates as well.
Oracle Support suggested trying fewer members, but halving the number of customs involved still produces errors.
Has anyone else had experience with this issue?
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi,
I am not aware of a way to schedule calc scripts through workspace.
Though as Rosi said there is the business rules command line launcher, CmdLineLauncher in the bin folder of planning.
You can also run calc scripts using command line with maxl.
Once you have the scripts then you can schedule them.
Cheers
John

  • Batch schedule won't allow me to enter "login credentials"

    Hello All,
    A most random thing happened today. I am on version 11.1.2.3.500 of EPM and was in the process of creating a Batch (for test) and after doing this successfully a number of times (10+), I deleted the batch I had created attempting to create a new one. However, this time, the database connection has come up blank as can be seen below.
    The 2 fileds highlighted below were originally editable, and the userid was filled in with "admin". I would normally just enter the password and proceed, however in this case, I can't write anything into either of the 2 fields highlighted below.
    This naturally creates a problem as I can not now see the dimensions from the reporting database - so can not select any dimensions!
    I've powered down the virtual machine, restarted my services (2x) and everything else looks and works fine except for this issue.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Dermott

    Thanks for the reply LRBS. I did spend some time going through the logs but they turned up empty and here's why...
    It turns out it was a corrupted BATCH. Somehow, each time I created a new "Batch Schedule" and used my original batch as a reference it made it impossible to edit/enter the correct login credentials for the server element.
    Hopefully this helps someone else in the future.
    Action: "Delete and recreate your Batch if you get this error."

  • Financial Reporting Batch Scheduler Error - EPM 11.1.2.1

    Hi,
    I just downloaded, installed and configured 11.1.2.1 on a test server. Defaults were used and all products have been configured to run on the same database (SQL Server). Mostly everything seems to be working, but when I try to open up "Batch Scheduler", I get an error:
    Code: 0
    Description: ; nested exception is:
    com.hyperion.reporting.util.HyperionReportException: ; nested exception is:
    *java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: [FMWGEN][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'FR_SCHEDULER_DATA'.*
    I click on "OK" and I'm in the Batch Scheduler window, but then when I schedule a batch, and click on "Finish", I get a Warning "A member must be provided for the Prompt":
    Code: 2021
    Description: A Member must be provided for the Prompt
    The scheduled batch does not show up in the Batch Scheduler window though.
    Any ideas on how I would go about rectifying this error?
    Thank you

  • Sending an email to the user if the WEBi scheduling failed in CMC

    Hello Everyone,
    Current scenario :
    I am scheduling WEBi report through CMC and the report is going to end user email as an excel attachment.
    Desired Functionality :
    What happens is if the scheduling fails due to some reason. The email does not go to the end user on a particular date and then he complaints.
    What i need here an email sending option that if the WEBi scheduling has been failed in CMC an email should go to the user saying : " The WEBi scheduling has failed. The team is working on it " . (This is just a sample message)
    So the idea is to send an email to the user when the WEBi scheduling fails in the CMC. How to achieve this ?
    Regards,
    Ashutosh Singh

    Hi Ashutosh,
    You can send an alert email to a group when the schedule fails to run by choosing the "A job has failed to run" option under notification.
    You can see this option only if you schedule the report through CMC.
    Regards
    Sunil

  • Custom XML Publisher Reports in EBS 11.5.10.2 Fails Randomly

    Hi Experts,
    I have a Custom XML PUblisher Report Concurrent Program in EBS 11.5.10.2.
    The Report fails randomly with a Warning. I get the following error,

    If the same report is submitted again it Works fine, But not at all times.. some of them fails with the above error message.
    Any pointers to solve this one.

    Hi,
    We are on Multi-node set up with two middle-tiers with a load balancing option Yes.
    The XML Publisher Version is 5.6.0. Is it required to move to 5.6.3 ?
    Please find a detailed explaination of the issue.

    XML Publisher Reports Fails Randomly in Production
    Detailed Explaination
    XML Publisher Reports submitted in Production completes with Warning. You can say 1 out of 4 requests submitted in a sequence will fail.
    The Log message of the COncurent Program is something like this,
    ------------- 1) PUBLISH -------------

    Post-processing of request 3091786 failed at 23-NOV-2008 15:36:58 with the error message:

    Its evident from the message the output file for the request is not generated.
    Some Findings to pass on to Version 1
    1. Report in not picked up for execution in this case as even the first statement is not executed and there is no oracle session and os process asscociated with it.
    I enabled trace and the trace was generated only for the successful ones and it was never generated for the ones completed with warning.
    2. The below query gives no values for the failed concurrent request, where as all successful ones have valid values.
    SELECT oracle_process_id,oracle_session_id,os_process_id
    FROM fnd_concurrent_requests
    WHERE request_id = 3091786

  • Error message if job scheduling fails.

    Hi,
    I want to catch the message if scheduling fails and send to an email id.
    can this be done?
    how can we do this?
    thanks in advance
    Vikash.

    Hi Vishal,
    I can elaborate on that. I dont have a sample code with me.
    Steps:
    1) Consider the job which is scheduled with the help of SM36 as Job_A
    2) Now, develop one program which needs to be incorporated as Job_B. This Job_B moniors and send whether the first job has triggered successfully, running or not.
        a) Now, to develop the program I would request you to take a look at the table TBTCO first.
        b) This table will have details of all the jobs that were scheduled in the system.
        c) Create a work area of the type TBTCO structure and try to fetch the details of the job which you 
            have triggered already.
        d) Now, check the value of the status of the job in the work area.
        e) if it is active/ready/released, then dont take any action.
         f) if it is cancelled or failed, then try to implement the logic of sending an e-mail with the contents
            saying the job has failed to run.
    3) Note: Remember to run this monitoring job Job_B after sometime the Job_A has started.
    Hope this much information would pull your mind to incorporate it easily
    Thanks,
    Babu Kilari

  • Java error while opening Batch Scheduler in Hyperion Workspace

    Hello Guys,
    I get this error while trying to open the Batch Scheduler in Hyperion Workspace. Please assist.
    Error:
    ; nested exception is:
    java.lang.NullPointerException

    Hello Everybody,
    I have recently installed Hyperion 11.1.2.2(Foundation Services and Interactive Reporting) in our environment.
    The installation and configuration are successful. Also when I ran a sample BQY it works fine.
    If I try to run the sample programs on the Hyperion server in their actual location, they work fine.
    I am having problem setting up the SDK remotely and run the sample program.
    I am getting the following error when trying to run the sample Login.java provided in /EPMSystem11R1/products/biplus/SDK/samples/java/
    Unable to setup SDK for Hyperion 11.1.2.2 remotely
    Please help, thanks in advance

  • Schedule failed launching in Ultra Search

    I am trying to launch a crawler immediately from the Schedule screen after created Ultra Search instance and file data source. The status is showing "Launching". After a while, I click Refresh status, the status is showing "Failed". Anyone knows why schedule failed launching? Is there any error log file that I can check to find out why it failed?
    Thanks in advance.

    Liya
    The log file for the crawler schedule should be explicitly listed in the information for the schedule. Please check the information for that schedule.
    This log file will be located in the log directory that you've specified in the "crawler" tab.
    Please locate the log file and let us know what you see in that.
    thanks

  • Batch Scheduler Workspace

    Hi All,
    I have scheduled Financial Reports from workspace for the Vendors (Vendors is a dimension in OTL), but for some vendors I am getting the following error:

  • BO XI 3.1 - scheduling fails for locked PDF files

    Hi,
    I have scheduled reports in BO XI 3.1 and instances are stored as PDF files on the BO server.
    Issue I am facing : During the schedule time (daily morning), if the PDF file has been kept open by some user, the schedule fails saying the file is locked by someone else.
    I am thinking of writing some scripts (.bat file) to kill the session (file open by the user) and on success of this script the BO scheduler runs.
    But am wondering if there is anything in CMC/ Infoview where in we can restrict the access levels to just read and not write to the users ?
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Ash

    adding place holders to give different name to the PDF file is ruled out , as the users want the same name and only one copy of the file should be present at a particular time.
    As suggested by Tim -
    If we use a bat file to copy the file to another location (viewing location), the file can be overwritten in the original location but the bat file can not overwrite the PDF in viewing location (if the PDF is opened, during the file copy from original folder to viewing folder)
    PDF files are stored in the BOBJ repository
    Any other options ?
    Thanks,
    Ash

  • AD authentication against Shared Services failing randomly

    We're seeing random failures in AD authentication against Shared Services both via the Excel Addin and via Maxl scripts.
    SQL server (v 10.50.2500), Shared Services and OHS (v 11.1.2.2.303), and Essbase server (v11.1.2.2.104) are installed on the same physical box (16 cores, 192GB RAM) in a single-server configuration. It happens every few days at no fixed time and is resolved either by itself in a few hours, or by stopping and starting EPM services (Hyperion Foundation Services - Managed Server, OPMN service for Essbase, and OPMN service for OHS are stopped by running <Middleware_Home>\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin\stop.bat, and started by running start.bat).
    While the AD authentication is down, nobody is able to connect (via the Excel Add-in or Maxl scripts) using their AD accounts and get the following error - "Analytical Services user [AD_user1] Authentication Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error [EPMCSS-00301: Failed to authenticate user. Invalid credentials. Enter valid credentials.]". Native authentication works at all times (even when AD authentication fails).
    Although it seems to apply to an older version and to Planning/Workspace, we did look into "Error "EPMCSS-00301: Failed To Authenticate User. Invalid credentials" Intermittently When MSAD User Logs Into Workspace. (Doc ID 1389871.1)". But even after making the suggested changes, the problem persists. Any ideas what might be causing AD authentication to fail randomly like this? Below are some relevant portions of the logs -

    Server times are in sync. In fact, we see no such issues on the 9.3.1 environments (which are in the same server farm as the 11.1.2.2 environments).
    We're using the same MSAD configuration we have in the 9.3.1 environments as follows -

  • Scheduling failed with SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTION

    Dear Experts,
    From last 2 days onwards my Backup is getting Scheduling Failed error, i have checked in Job log its showing the below message.
    SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE failed for BRARCHIVE - Reason: x_error
    Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
    also i have checked at os level in sapackup directory log it showing that
    "Execution of BRARCHIVE finished with return code 3"
    So What could be the reason i am getting this message and help me needfully
    Regards
    Chandra B.

    Hi,
    If your CI & DB are on different host then first check SAPXPG destination is working fine or not using tcode SM59.(TCP/IP-->SAPXPG_DBDEST_<DBHOSTNAME>.). If it is failing the update the rfc destination with correct inputs & check.
    If you have scheduled your Archival backup using DB13 then this issue occurs(mosty after 30-40 days later after scheduling) If you schedule this form OS level this issue wont come. I have came across same issue & I tried by deleting old job & scheduled it again with DB13 & cds option.
    Please try the same & let us know.
    Thanks
    Sushil
