Execute an adapter after a scheduled task

Hi guys,
How do I execute an adapter after scheduled task??
I have a gtc recon trusted, but doesn't has the user login, I need generate this login. I have created an adapter that genate this login, but I don't know what time to run this adapter and I don't know where I need insert the call to this adapter.
Thanks

If it is 9i write an pre-insert event handler instead of adapter. and attach on user data object
for above you have to write a java class which has to extends tcBaseEvent class and then override the implementation method
here you can generate your user login as per your logic and then set the usr_login.
finally build the jar and put this under <IDM_HOME>/server/EventHandler folder

    The task parameters passed into a scheduled job are the parameters defined for the scheduled task definition in the metadata xml and configured in the scheduled job. They are not the data of an individual user as you seem to be trying to get. In a scheduled task I would expect some sort of search for users to operate on.

    Hi,
    Requirement: I need to use a dynamic file send port which appends the file every 2 hours after which is picked up by an ftp adapter on a daily basis on a fixed time.For

    if the field contains very large data then yes, defining the target field in Oracle as a CLOB will solve your issue.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Scheduled Tasks problem after midnight

    I am running CFMX 7.0.2 and am experiencing an issue where
    scheduled tasks run correctly until roughly midnight. After
    midnight they cease to run. In the logs I can see that the task is
    being incorrectly rescheduled for a later time. Instead of being
    rescheduled for 1 minute and 1 second later, it will be rescheduled
    for much longer - typically about 24 hours later. Any ideas what I
    can do to narrow down the cause of this problem?

    I've since discovered that this problem does not occur when
    the task is scheduled to run at 12 AM. Otherwise, after the task
    runs post-midnight, it reschedules itself for its next daily run at
    whatever time it was scheduled for.
    Is it possible to have a scheduled task that will kick off at
    10PM and then run every 1 minute and 1 second later until it is
    stopped, even if that means continuing through the next day?

  • Scheduled tasks not executing

  • Does JVM clean up after a scheduled thread has finished its task?

    If a Timer class is scheduled to perform a certain task repeatedly, and when a scheduled task is finished, who will clean up or terminate or stop that thread? Is there anything that I can do to make sure those finished threads are cleaned up so that they will not occupy resources.

    Further for java.util.Timer, at least in Java 6:
    "After the last live reference to a Timer object goes away and all outstanding tasks have completed execution, the timer's task execution thread terminates gracefully (and becomes subject to garbage collection). However, this can take arbitrarily long to occur. By default, the task execution thread does not run as a daemon thread, so it is capable of keeping an application from terminating. If a caller wants to terminate a timer's task execution thread rapidly, the caller should invoke the timer's cancel method."
    Not sure if this self-cleanup goes back to 1.4 though.

  • Server 2012 Scheduled tasks not running after DST

    Since the DST change this weekend the weekly scheduled tasks on our 2012 standard server are not running.  The schedule show the correct next run time, but the task never runs.  The server correctly adjusted for the DST changes (We are in CST in
    the US) and if you look in the date time it notified us that the clock was set forward.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Mark,
    Before going further, would you please let me confirm whether only weekly scheduled tasks t run? In other words,
    did some daily scheduled tasks run smoothly?
    Based on current situation, please create a new weekly
    scheduled task and check if encounters the same issue.
    If this issue still persists. Please let me confirm if you make scheduled task run some commands or a script,
    or others I misunderstand. For an example, if run a script, please directly run it in the Windows Server 2012 Standard and check if there any issue occurred.
    Meanwhile, please open Task Scheduler, select this problematic weekly scheduled task, click General tab. Please
    check which user account was used to run this task. And please check Run with highest privileges, then check if can solve this issue.
    In addition, please check History tab in task Properties. Please pay attention on the time-point when the weekly
    scheduled task should be ran, and check if you can find some events at that time-point. It may help us to go further analysis.
    By the way, there is a similar thread. Please refer to.

  • Scheduled Task Adapter

    I usually give the xml Query Statement in the scheduled task adapter like this
    <ns0:Select xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Sql/2008/05/ViewOp/dbo/PRODUCT"><ns0:Columns>*</ns0:Columns><ns0:Query>where NAME IN ('ABC','DEF')</ns0:Query></ns0:Select>
    Now I am constructing the XML query message inside the Orchestration,
    xmlVarMsg = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
    xmlVarMsg .LoadXml("<ns0:Select xmlns:ns0=http://schemas.microsoft.com/Sql/2008/05/ViewOp/dbo/PRODUCT><ns0:Columns>*</ns0:Columns><ns0:Query>where NAME IN ('ABC','DEF')</ns0:Query></ns0:Select>");
    Message_Input =xmlVarMsg;
    Now I am not sure how to configure the Receive location with Scheduled task adapter without giving any task in that, but just to schedule it run everyday.

    This is related to the other posts?
    Which Receive Location are you referring to?  You only need the one to start the parent Orchestration.
    In that case, it doesn't really matter what the message is, it's just something to launch the Orchestration.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Windows 2008 Server SFTP Scheduled Tasks fails to execute sftp commands

    I have a scheduled task that pulls in Human Resources data using sftp public / private key combination.  It was associated with user who has recently left the company and their account has been disabled. Everything I've read
    so far leads me to believe that I need to establish the sftp connection and create a registry entry for another user...   I don't want this application to be dependent on any particular user.   I've stored the key set on a share that is
    open to any system administrator on the server and created a batch job similar to:
    Del oldFile.txt
    "psftp.exe <user>@<server> -i <PrivateKeyLocation> -b <FtpComands>". 
    The old file gets deleted fine via scheduled task or manual, but the new file only gets pulled when running it directly from my account. 
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The list of ftp commands that you are passing in to psftp.exe may need user specific resources (for example, a mapped drive). But it's difficult to say though without looking at what the psftp commands do. If the available commands for psftp.exe
    are not flexible enough, you might want to look at other solutions like Sysax FTP Automation.

  • 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()

    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.

    @ 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)_/¯
