CF 9 Upgrade process Ran All Scheduled Tasks

I just completed the upgrade process from CF8 Enterprise to CF9 Enterprise on our test system, Windows 2003 R2P2 using IIS6 and SQL Server 2000. I have no schedule tasks with an active schedule, but the upgrade process ran all of the tasks. Running all of the scheduled tasks created 200+ e-mails.
Any ideas on what happened? I ran the coldfusion_9_wwe_win.exe and installed the CF9 ODBC and CF9 SOIR services.
If this happened on my TEST system (with no actively scheduled tasks) what's going to happen when I upgrade my production system?
Thanks in advance for your time.

I can't answer your specific question (*), but I would seriously reconsider your approach of UPGRADING a CF server. Set up CF9 in parallel, and migrate the application/website across to it.
If you do an inline upgrade and it fails: you've got nothing to fall back on. If you to a "cross-grade", your working CF8 instance is still there as a fail-over, if anything goes wrong with the CF9 install.

(*) you might want to raise a bug report, though.

How to find and export all Scheduled Tasks in Domain with multiple servers.

Hi everyone,
I have been given a task of finding all of Scheduled Tasks in the Domain on all of the servers. So far I have manage to create a script that will pull out all Scheduled Tasks from one Server, in this case Domain Controller.
Butt in my company are more than 150 servers so I am looking for a script that can connect to AD (or LDAP), than to certain OUs, then pull out Server list and than query them for Schedule Task. I have found already some scripts online and tried to adjust
them butt they simply didnt work.
I am new in the company and still learning about the system, this is my first real task so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just a tip that I found after running across this myself - if you run a
Get-AdComputer -filter {operatingsystem -like '*server*'} | ft name | out-file servers.txt
and then save the output to a text file, it may look good, but there may be white space at the end of the computer names. Make sure that only the computernames are in the file and then the script works great.
http://absoblogginlutely.net
This would happen because you are trying to get around the format of the output. When you want the raw value do it this way; it is faster and easier:
Get-AdComputer -filter {operatingsystem -like '*server*'} |
%{$_.Name } | out-file servers.txt
Now there can never be any extra spaces and there will be no header to cause problems.
This is why it pays to spend time studying the details of how PowerShell works instead of just sticking things together until you get a result. PowerShell is designed to do all of these things without fudging or guesswork but it requires that you actually
learn how it works. I highly recommend stating with a good technical book on PowerShell.

All scheduled tasks stopped execute

Hi guys,
We are using the version 11.1.1.5(BP 2) of OIM. Now all scheduled task, stoped execute.
We clicked em "Run Now" but isn't inserted a line in grid Job History, in log doesn't show no errors.
This happen for all scheduled tasks.
What be should the problem??
Thanks

Restart the Scheduler
http://OIM_HOST:OIM_PORT/SchedulerService-web/status.
Hope the problem should resoved after this. If not than:
Also enable looger for Schedule task (oracle.iam.identity.scheduledtasks). You will get more information in the log file.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e14308/log.htm#CEGBBGFH.
I think you will get the some exception in diaognestic log file.
If problem doesn't solve restart the manage server.
Thanks

Disable all scheduled tasks?

We have around 40 scheduled tasks, many running every 10 to 20 minutes. I want to import a CAR file of these scheduled tasks to a new server, but I don't want them to execute on the new server until I can disable the task on the old server. I would rather use a CAR file than create each one manually. Is there a way to disable all scheduled tasks on the new server?
Thanks,
Steve

CF scheduler erroneously runs ALL scheduled tasks simultaneously !

Hi everyone,
Our scheduler.log (attached) shows that ALL 13 tasks have been activated simultaneously at the same time daily, in addition to the correct staggered scheduled times. Furthermore the name of the thread in the scheduler log is "MAIN", quite different from the names of all correctly initiated schedules.
I have noted on the net a bug of this sort in previous versions of CF but not in CF8 or 9.
Has anyone encountered such a situation with a rogue thread starting up all scheduled tasks simultaneously ?
We would certainly appreciate any help here.
Cheers Rod
Extract of our scheduler.log attached !

Strange, I use the scheduler regularly and have never seen
this behavior. I think you might be on the right track in emailing
you upon failures. You may also want to email you upon success as
well, at least until this problem gets resolved.
A scheduled task is just another user session as far as your
application is concerned so you can use specify a CFERROR template.
You can also use the output from the scheduled template as a log
and in the cf scheduler admin specify to log the output to a file.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

OIM - Scheduled Tasks - Validade/Enable

Hi All,
I am quite new to OIM, two days working with it, and I have some questions that seem to be easy to answer but I could not find it here, neither on the internet (or I am not using the correct keywords).
In our OIM environment we have some custom recon scheduled tasks, developed by oracle, and, as our internal processes with the targets are not working properly still, sometimes the scheduled tasks fail and when they fail they got disabled too. Most of the times they fail is because its input file, a CSV file coming from a target, is not there.
Based on it, my questions are:
1. I know there is a way to list all scheduled tasks and their status using the API, check this link: http://www.rameshgk.com/blog/2010/09/23/oim-scheduled-task-for-monitoring-other-scheduled-tasks/, but is there a way to do it by command line in Unix?
2. Is there a way, when the schedulted tasks got disabled due to a failure, to enable it automatically, via API or any other method, without the need to go to web client?
I was forgetting to comment one thing, unfortunately, I don't have access to the OIM database!
Thanks for your attention!
Regards.

You can execute the scheduled task from the command line and use the following API:
void updateScheduleTask(long scheduledTaskKey,
java.util.Map attributes)
throws Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException,
Thor.API.Exceptions.tcScheduledTaskNotFoundException,
Thor.API.Exceptions.tcInvalidAttributeException,
Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAttributeMissingException,
tcAPIExceptionUpdates schedule task information based on the attribute that are passed to this method
Parameters:
scheduledTaskKey - the scheduled task key
attributes - a map of updated attributes valid attributes
•Task Scheduler.ClassName
•Task Scheduler.Disable
•Task Scheduler.Frequency Type
•Task Scheduler.Interval
•Task Scheduler.Key
•Task Scheduler.Last Start Time
•Task Scheduler.Last Stop Time
•Task Scheduler.Max Retries
•Task Scheduler.Name
•Task Scheduler.Next Start Time
•Task Scheduler.Retry Count
•Task Scheduler.Start Time
•Task Scheduler.Status
You can provide the Frequency Type and Next Start Time and then it should be picked up. Just like when you are in the design console and you have it set to run once and you clear the entries in the time and set it to the current one.

Coldfusion Scheduled Tasks Problem

Hello--
I am experiencing a strange problem. In a product that my office has created, we make use of Scheduled Tasks in Coldfusion. All of our clients are working just fine with the exception of one. There are several Tasks that all should behave the same way. The task starts, it writes to a log file that it is starting, it processes what it needs to process, it writes to the log file that it is done.
Here is the problem we are having:
Scheduled task is scheduled to run at 3:00am daily. Task will run the first time through without any problems, and sometimes will run a second time without any problems. But, normally, the second time the task starts, the log file we have generated is not updated at all. The timestamp stays the same, so no action has been done to the file. Further, the Task doesn't do any of the process it should. In addition, the JRun process hangs, taking up 99%-100% of CPU and stays that way until the server is restarted. The Coldfusion scheduler.log says that the task has executed. Nothing else is recorded in any of the other Coldfusion logs.
This is a problem that has been reoccurring consistently for the past month with all scheduled tasks. I have spent hours on the phone with the client to debug the issue. All of the Coldfusion settings match between their environment and ours. The server setup is similar to our own server. Server is a VM with 2x3.3GHz processors and 2GB of RAM.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, or help? At this point, I'm at a complete and total loss and any help would be much appreciated...

Well that's all good news, in a way.
OK, so in the test environment stop CF, blitz all the CF and JRun logs, start it, run the script via a browser, run it again. Inspect logs.
I can't believe nothing goes into the logs.
And do you have a <cflog> entry as the very first line of code in the script file? And that log entry never gets made?
If the <cflog> entry never shows up, put an Application.cfm file in the same dir as the script, with a single <cflog> entry in it. Does that <cflog> entry get made?

Certain scheduled tasks do not run anymore after DST change

Hi everyone,
I noticed a problem on Server 2012 after daylight savings time was set effective last weekend in March. All scheduled tasks that are configured to run weekly on Monday through Friday don't run anymore! Tasks that are configured to run daily are OK. Shall
I really put a wrapper script around the executable to check the weekday myself??? Another solution to work around this bug seems to be to set the start day after DST change day, then the weekly Jobs also run OK again.
Many Greetings
Michael

We have experienced the same issues. Just to put some more information out there (and confirm some points from above):
We run 12 scheduled tasks on 2 servers.
Machines are "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Standard", ver. 6.2.9200 build 9200, HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8
4 scheduled tasks did fine over the DST switch in March
8 scheduled tasks failed to run
All scheduled tasks that ran were set up with
“Configure For” = “Windows Server 2012”
All scheduled tasks that failed were set up with
“Configure For” = “Windows Vista™, Windows Server™
2008”.
All scheduled tasks, both affected and unaffected, were scheduled as Weekly, Mon-Fri.
Changing the "Configure For" field after the tasks failed to run did NOT fix the problem.
Changing the time of a task after the task failed to run did NOT fix the problem
Changing the "Start" date of a task after it failed to run DID fix the problem.
Given that there are not a whole ton more complaints out on the web about this bug, it must be that the bug does not affect every instance of the scheduler on Windows Server 2012. In other words, it must be only some particular configuration
of Windows Server 2012 that causes this bug, otherwise surely there would be many many more complaints. Can people who are experiencing this bug check and post configuration info so perhaps we can determine a common factor? Thanks.

Alternatives to PowerShell automation of Excel (Scheduled Task) in a Windows Server 2012 R2 world

I have a handful of PowerShell scripts that ran as Scheduled Tasks on an old Windows 2008 SP2 server, which output reports as Excel workbooks with multiple worksheets, via a COM object. After migrating these scripts to a new Windows 2012 R2 server,
these scripts no longer function. The Server 2008 system was running Office 2007, and the new Server 2012 R2 server has Office 2013 installed.
What is everyone using on their Server 2012 R2 systems to automate generation of multi-sheet reports in Excel via PowerShell and Scheduled Tasks?
I know that Microsoft has said that automating Office applications server-side in non-interactive mode, but it has worked in the past, until now. (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757)
I've tried the OpenXML PowerTools for PowerShell (https://powertools.codeplex.com/), but Export-OpenXMLSpreadsheet will only export a single worksheet, and they don't support adding worksheets to existing files
(am I missing something?). I understand the OpenXML PowerTools can be extended in C#, but I don't C#. The PowerShell cmdlets were released in Jan 2012, but don't look to have been updated since then (updates have been the core C# code).
I've seen recommendations to add C:\Windows\(System32 or SysWOW64)\config\systemprofile\Desktop, but this hasn't worked on Server 2012.
Has anyone been able to get Excel 2013 to cooperate on Server 2012 R2, or come up with a suitable alternative? I'd rather not start running these scripts from my workstation.
EDIT:
I'm not necessarily looking for an Excel answer, since there are OpenXML ways of doing things now without the Excel application.
Here are some of the errors I'm getting when approaching this from different directions. When I use:
$excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
Results in error:
Exception calling "Add" with "0" argument(s): "Microsoft Excel cannot open or
save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk
space.
• To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer
need.
• To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are
saving to."
At C:\path\to\script.ps1:21 char:2
+ $workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
The server is definitely not lacking for resources.
I can copy a blank XLSX file and use .Open($xlFile) instead of .Add(), but then when I go to open a CSV file to copy/paste the content to a worksheet, I get this one:
Exception calling "Open" with "1" argument(s): "The server threw an exception.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010105 (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT))"
At C:\path\to\script.ps1:65 char:2
+ $tempcsv = $excel.Workbooks.Open($CSVFile)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
Things that I've tried so far, with no success:
I created C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop as suggested here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/0751119d-84d5-4a77-8240-1c4802f97375/powershell-scheduled-tasks-wont-start-excel?forum=winserverpowershell
Add Local Launch and Local Activation permissions to the Microsoft Excel Application DCOM Config, Grant "Read & Execute, List folder contents, Read" permissions on the \config\systemprofile\Desktop folder. Grant "Modify, Read & Execute,
List Folder Content, Read, Write" permissions for the account on the following folders:
\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft
\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft
as suggested here:

@ jrv - I will try posting a similar question in the Excel 2013 forum, but since I'm looking for a scripting solution to produce an OpenXML spreadsheet, and not something that necessarily uses the Excel application (though such a solution would not be turned
away), I thought this the more appropriate venue.
(to reiterate from OP) I have seen and acknowledge Microsoft's statements regarding the unsupported nature of automating Office applications in non-interactive environments, but the truth of the matter is, supported or not, it worked in the past (Server
2008), it's what I inherited from my predecessor, and I know I'm not the only one who has been using Excel in this way. I'm only asking fellow scripters, some of whom must also be using Excel in this "unsupported" fashion, how they are automating
creation of their spreadsheet reports after moving to Server 2012. A different system modification to make the Excel comObject continue working as before? Direct manipulation of the OpenXML document? Other solutions that may or may not require launching the
Excel application?

#1 - Ask in Excel 2013 forum.
#2 - Microsoft has repeatedlynoted that this is NOT a supported configuration for Office products.
#3 - What errors are you getting?
#4 - What have you done to debug this:
#5 - No one can be of much help unless you post a very simple example of how this fails.

Scheduled Tasks wont run

I had recently upgarded to CF8 from CF7.
After the upgrade non of my Scheduled Tasks are running.
Even when i trigger the tasks manually from CFAdmin I get the response "This scheduled task was completed successfully."
But nothing really runs. My application is using Integrated Windows Authentication and the schedulled tasks were running fine with CF7.
Now when i switch off the Windows authentication, the scheduled tasks are working fine.
Could you please tell me why my Scheduled Tasks are not running when i turn on Windows authenticaton, where as it was working perfectly with CF7.

ColdFusion schedule tasks CAN NOT run under windows integrated authentication. ColdFusion is not a windows product, it does not pass the NTML headers with requests. You have to turn off windows integrated authentication for any resource you would like to run as a schedule task. Helpfully, you can set that permssion to individual files and|or folders so you do not need to turn it off for the entire site.
I don't know why this would change after an upgrade, unless you built a new CF8 server with a newly built IIS as well.

Schedule Tasks

1.how to list all schedule tasks
2.how to start a schedule task (thru code)
a) user defined tasks
b) predefined tasks

In the Oracle Identity Manager Design Console, go to Administration -> Task Scheduler. There you can have all tasks.
About run your tasks... The SchedulerBaseTask has a method called runAsThread, for example, and you can invoke it after you get an instance of that class.
There is a very good blog post about that: http://rajnishbhatia19.blogspot.com/2008/10/running-task-scheduler-from-dos.html.

Scheduled Tasks Run Twice After Upgrade To MX7

I've recently upgraded to CFMX7 and now my scheduled tasks
are running twice. I've recreated all of the tasks, rebooted the
server, and made sure that I'm on V 7.0.2 but nothing seems to
help. Is there a solution for this out there?

I've got a couple ideas. I haven't seen this before but this
should be some stuff to try. There's a file in the ColdFusion lib
directory called neo-cron.xml ... this contains an entry for each
scheduled task.
I'd be very careful about making any changes to this file
directly but take a look at it. Are your scheduled tasks
duplicated? If so you can either remove the duplicates manually if
you're feeling brave, or try deleting the scheduled tasks in the cf
admin and then recreate them. Perhaps that would get rid of the
duplicates. If you don't see dupliactes in this file then somehow
ColdFusion's process that runs the scheduled tasks is probably
running once for the old install and once for the new one.
Sorry I don't have any more definitive info but hope this
helps point you in the right direction.

Scheduled Task - Stop/Start processes and .exe

I've running some short batch files to stop a process and an .exe at just past midnight.
and then corresponding files to start a process and an .exe at 6am
I've set up Task Scheduler to run the Stops at 00:05 and 00:10
and then the starts at 06:30 and 06:40
However when I run tests, the scheduled tasks giving a status of "running" long after the the "stop" batch files have run.
How can i set them up so they run once, then stop running so there is no danger of conflict when the "start" tasks run in the morning.
I hope this is clear.
Thanks
Pete

Hi,
Please check the in the task manager (+show tasks from all users) to see if it is indeed still running. You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:
TASK SCHEDULER: scheduler status is being “RUNNING” always
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2f6dc29c-3b8b-45f5-a2a7-53e076acc062/task-scheduler-scheduler-status-is-being-running-always
If the issue still exists, the workaround is adding this line at the very end of the batch file:
TASKKILL /F /IM cmd.exe

CFHTTP and Scheduled Tasks not working after CF8 Upgrade

I have recently upgraded to ColdFusion 8. My scheduled tasks
in the ColdFusion Administrator do not work anymore. I ran them
manually without the ColdFusion Administrator from the server and a
local machine via Internet Explorer 7 and they work. I tried to run
the same scheduled task with the same URL via CFHTTP in a CFM page
and this does not work. The logs are not giving me any error
messages. Has anyone run into this? Is this a bug with CF8 or even
an IIS issue? ColdFusion is on a Windows 2003 SP2 server.
Thanks,
Mike

All project tasks appear when I view a schedule in PWA but the schedule is blank in MS Project Professional

We have a project in our Project Server 2010 environment and it was being managed for a period of time without any issues. Recently, a user has gone into PWA and edited the schedule in PWA by deleting all the tasks and re-creating a new set of tasks.
He has saved and published the project from within PWA.
However, although the schedule can be viewed and edited from within PWA, if we try to open it in MS Project, the schedule is blank. ie. there are no tasks displayed. It is the correct project as the project name appears at the top of the MS Project
window.
I have tried saving and publishing the schedule via PWA but I still get a blank scehdule when I open it in MS Project Professional.
I have also cleared the cache in case there was something happening there but no change.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and how to resolve it?
PS. I am not technical so if you have a technical solution, can you please explain it in as non-technical terms as possible?
Thanks
Peter

Hi Paul
As I mentioned in my post, when I open the scheudle in MS Project, there are no tasks displayed. ie. the schedule is totally blank. So although it could be opened, I was reluctant to publish it via MS Project. I did delete the MS Project
cache as well as the IE Browser history, cookies etc but no effect.
This is now a mute point as I decided to restore an earlier version of the schedule from the backups and it now seems to have been resolved. The schedule is appearing in both PWA and MS Project and they are in synch with each other.
I have put this down to a random corruption that somehow crept into the schedule.
Thanks for your response anyway.
Peter
