CF9 and Scheduled Tasks

We recently migrated our web site to a new server running CF9 (64-bit, Windows 2003) and I had several scheduled tasks that run on a night basis. So I set up the tasks in the CF Administrator but when try and run them via the administrator I get an error and the in the Scheduler Log I get a "400 Bad Request". Now the URLs defined in the scheduler is a page on our site under our domain (e.g. http://www.lake-link.com/scheduledTasks/daily.cfm ect) (This is not a working URL but just an example for this). If I run the link in a web browser it works fine, but it continues to get a 400 bad request when run in the CF Administrator. Now when I change the URL in the CF Administrator to localhost (http://localhost/scheduledTasks/daily.cfm) it works fine but I do not want to do this as there will be other domains on this server and each of them will have their own scheduled tasks and local host can only be defined for a single site. Is this an IIS setting or security setting? Why would the URL be getting a 400 Bad Request from within CF and not when I run it via a browser? Any help is appreciated!!!

Hi
When you say you run the link in a browser, is this the browser on the server?  Does it work when you run the job from the browser on the server?
Also, Is the target address password protected in any way?
Cheers

  • CF9 Deleted Scheduled Tasks Still running

    I have several scheduled tasks that were deleted via the admin but they are still running.  Don't show up in the admin, but still run.
    I have tried to programmatically delete them also.  Have looked in neo-cron.xml and they dont exist in there either.
    Any ideas?

    Update to this.
    Not only are deleted items running, but active items are running twice.

  • 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,

  • Password expiration mail and schedule tasks

    Dear Experts,
    To best of my observation OIM has OOTB feature to send mail on password expiry.
    Kindly suggest how do I find
    Query1 – how many days password get expired?
    Query2 – Which mail will be send to user when password expires?
    Query3 – Which schedule task does this?
    OIM version is 9.1.0.2.
    Kindly suggest.
    Thanks,
    S M

    In OIM 10g the schedule task name is Password Expiration Task. This task sends e-mail to users whose password expiration date has passed at the time when the task runs. It is determined by the USR table field USR_PWD_EXPIRE_DATE. The email template name is given as one of the attributes to this schedule task. That particular email is sent. The name of the email definition is "Password Expired". After that it updates the USR_PWD_EXPIRED flag on the user profile.

  • XLReporter and scheduled task error code (2)

    Hello Experts,
    After upgrading from 2007A to 8.8.1 PL4 all XL Reporter jobs stoped working. So i've recreated scheduled tasks. But after this tasks still not working. In tasks log all tasks return code 2.

  • Essbase Add-in and scheduled tasks - Canned reports

    I have been trying to figure out how to run our canned reports utilizing the WIndows Task Scheduler. We currently run most of our canned reports in Excel with the Essbase Add-In and VBA. DOes anyone out there have any suggestions on how I can run these reports daily by scheduling them to run?

    Have you explored reporting tool such as Oracle BIEE, Hyperion Interactive Reporting or Financial Reporting? These 3 have the capabilities to schedule reports.

  • Robocopy and scheduled task 0x3

    I have a batch file that runs robocopy weekly.
    robocopy "D:\Database BU Transit"     "E:\HCNBUWeekly" /e /v /r:1 /w:1 /log:C:\Backup\logs\Weekly.log /np /nfl /ndl
    robocopy "D:\Database BU Transit"     "J:\HCN\BUWeekly" /e /v /r:1 /w:1 /log+:C:\Backup\logs\weekly.log /np /nfl /ndl
    When the robocopy finished I got Last Run Result 0x3. According to MS,
    ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND 3 (0x3) The system cannot find the path specified.
    But the robocopy worked fine!
    Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\Create Weekly Backup" , instance "{481d6347-b522-46b1-9a4c-70977be82eca}" , action "C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe" with return code 3.
    In the log file. This seems that it worked fine. but I am not sure why I am getting 0x3 code from the last run result.

    The Option tab is on the deployment GUI they're using.
    The article explains why Robocopy can run successfully, but still have a non-zero return code.
    It also suggests using the /Log parameter to save the log to figure out exactly what it's doing.

  • TTL and scheduled tasks

    Hi all,
    I've a problem in processing a jms queue. I'm scheduling the jobs and putting these into a jms Q, the problem is with the TTL. The jobs are almost the same on every schedule and the same messages after a X time are continuously "killed" because the consumers are too slow to consume each message.
    It's something like if I have 1 consumer.. 5 messages with a TTL of '3'.. and the consumer takes '1' to complete the job. the 5 messages are almost always the same (these are scheduled).. and I've always processed only the first 3 and killed the other 2...
    do you know how to solve this problem?

    i don't understand something about your question.
    a scheduled job sends a message to your queue for processing. the message event triggers a message listener MBD to take the message off the queue and process it. it's an asynchronous process, so the listener can take as long as it likes to complete the process. it doesn't send any reply back to the originator of the message.
    true?
    sounds like you need to check your listener pool settings. if the messages are backing up in the queue, you should add more MDBs to the listener pool.

  • 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."

    + $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))"

    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

    @ 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.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • How to make Robocopy run in the foreground using Scheduled Tasks

    Hello everyone! 
    I am doing a daily backup using Robocopy and Scheduled Tasks running Windows 2012 Server. When it runs, robocopy runs in the background and does not write to log that I am pointing to. How can I make it run in the foreground? Also, is there anyway to write to log only those records that have been copied or purged? what are the best practices for robocopy use?

  • DB13 scheduled tasks not appear

    Hi people,
    I´ve connected an external Oracle databases, and I´ve scheduled some maintenance tasks.
    During on time, the finished and scheduled tasks appears in the DB13, but I´ve seen that the scheduled tasks off external databases not appear, but the time if scheduled tasks has passed, the tasks it´s correctly finished and appears.
    The problem is that the scheduled tasks cannot edit them, because not appears in the calendar, only when they´ve finished.
    What can i do?

    >> Regarding Note 6 in Note1025707, this is for if both systems are on the same server, for example, a server has AS ABAP CEN with DBA Cockpit and has AS Java JAV. Is this your situation? The Oracle DB for the separate AS Java would still be considered "remote" in this case. I do not have experience with this situation.
    For the instance, if the installation is a SAP Portal system, it is evaluated by a remote database, when you are attached it to a central monitoring system. For example you have two or more SAP installations even on a same physical host attached to the central monitoring system, those systems are evaluated as remote systems. This is because central monitoring system should be connected to these systems by remote.
    I hope that I clarified the issue.

  • CF9 Scheduled Tasks Sort order changed; how to fix it?

    I just notice in my CF9 administrator under "Scheduled Tasks", the tasks now display Alphabetically IN GROUPS BY FREQUENCY rather than the straight alpha by Task Name.  Is this a new "feature" of CF9 and how can I change it back to "normal" sort by Task Name?  We have lots of scheduled tasks and it's really more convenient to see them the old way.  I haven't found any obvious place where I can change the sort order.  Any help is appreciated.

    You could experiment with changing /CFIDE/administrator/scheduler/scheduletasks.cfm to be the one CF8 uses instead.  I dunno if it would work, but it should.
    Or you could write your own CFAdmin extension to display them however you like.
    I don't know there's an "official" way to revert to the old view.
    I'm not sure why they bothered changing this.  I think they could have better spent said time on something else... like providing a proper API for managing the tasks, without needing to rely on using the service factory.

  • 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.

    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.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Server 2008 and MS Access 2007 Scheduled Task

    I have a Server 2008 with MS Access 2007 installed.
    I created a task that is designed to lanuch Access, open a designated database, and run a macro. The macro calls a function within the database that generates a series of reports in PDF format for use in a web app.  The task was created to
    run a local user, with credentials stored.  This whole process has been running fine for many months.  A recent group policy change has caused this to now stop.
    The GP now states that user credentials can no longer be stored.  I changed the task so that it is to run as SYSTEM but this is not working either.  It seems access is launching as SYSTEM, I can see this in the task manager, but it does not seem
    to open my database since no .ldb is being created.  I also added logging code to my function and nothing ever gets in there.  I think the issue is that there is no profile for SYSTEM, so when access starts running it's looking to build a profile
    for that user.
    Does anyone know how I can make this work?

    Hi Scott,
    Based on my research, the functionality of storing password for some Group Policy Preferences is being removed because the password was stored insecurely.
    Especially for Scheduled Tasks and Data Sources, we will be unable to achieve the same goals that were available through the non-secure functionality of Group Policy Preferences passwords.
    As a workaround, scheduled tasks still can run in the context of the local service. 
    More information for you:

  • Have you ever seen a 24+ hour delay on a scheduled task to patch and reboot your server?

    Our OS admins set up a schedule so that our SharePoint servers would patch and reboot once a month on the weekend during a scheduled time.
    This past weekend, 3 of the 4 SP 2010 servers in the farm patched and rebooted as expected.
    One of the servers (this is Windows 2012) was patched - but the reboot didn't occur until over 48 hours later.
    I don't see anything in the event logs or the 14 hive logs that indicates the reason for the delay. The OS admins verified that the reboot was scheduled to occur at the scheduled time.
    Has anyone else encountered anything like this?

    My OS Admin has requested I correct one thing in this question.
    > It isn’t really a ‘scheduled task’ that is forcing the machine to reboot. WSUS is sending patches to the machine based on registry settings.
    >When it is done, the machine is supposed to reboot within 15 min.
    > Also, in our case the patches installed around 6pm on the 1<sup>st</sup> and the machine rebooted on the 4<sup>th</sup> at  around 9:40 am.
    > This means about 62+ hours had passed.
