Get Application config property in Task scheduler

Hi,
I want access to application-config property in Task scheduler.
At init method of RFServiceWrapper I can do something like this (mm_serviceContext.getServiceConfig().getProperty("XPTO") and than make public getters for the property.
My problem is when I wont access that values. I Think I have to make something like PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(????).getXPTO
What should I put in the call of getService?
Best Regards,
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
You should call like this:
RFServiceWrapper service = (RFServiceWrapper)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(RFServiceWrapper.KEY);
service.getXPTO...
And ofcourse your KEY should be unique and look some thing like this:
public static final String KEY = "YourApplicationName.YourServiceName";
YourApplicationName = <b>YourParFileName</b>
YourServiceName = As declared in your <b>portalapp.xml</b>

Accessing application-config property in Task scheduler

Hello All,
Is it possible to access either a application-config property or a service-config property defined in the portalapp.xml file for a portal SCHEDULER TASK? I want to set some properties in the portalapp.xml and get them at runtime.
Thanks,
Asheesh

Hello Detlev,
In the Init method of the RFServiceWrapper I put the following code:
String val1 = mm_serviceContext.getServiceProfile().getProperty("ServTest");
String val2 = mm_serviceContext.getServiceProfile().getProperty("test");
but I don't seem to get the property values defined in the portalapp.xml Here is the portalapp.xml which I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<application>
<application-config>
    <property name="SharingReference" value="usermanagement, knowledgemanagement, landscape, htmlb, exportalJCOclient, exportal"/>
    <property name="test" value="AppTest"/>
</application-config>
<components/>
<services>
    <service name="RFServiceWrapper">
      <service-config>
        <property name="className" value="com.sap.netweaver.rf.wrapper.RFServiceWrapper"/>
        <property name="startup" value="true"/>
        <property name="ServTest" value="ServTest"/>
      </service-config>
    </service>
</services>
</application>
Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Thanks,

Why won't this script run in task scheduler properly?

Hello,
I've created a script find all opened windows applications on the local computer. The script creates an html outfile to report the opened windows and who is logged in.
When I run this script from the Powershell ISE or from Powershell command line it works fine. When I schedule this script to run in windows Task Scheduler (either in Windows 7 or on Windows Server 2008) and I use 'Run only when user is logged in' the
script again runs fine and reports in the html file the opened windows.
But when I am logged into the server and I schedule this script to run in windows Task Scheduler (either in Windows 7 or on Windows Server 2008) and I use 'Run whether user is logged in or not' the script will run without error, it creates the html report,
but it does not list the opened windows applications That part of the report is missing.
Why would this happen? Do I need to change something in my script to make this script work whether or not someone is logged in?
Here is the script:
$a = "<style>"
$a = $a + "BODY{background-color:peachpuff;}"
$a = $a + "TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}"
$a = $a + "TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color:thistle}"
$a = $a + "TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color:PaleGoldenrod}"
$a = $a + "</style>"

Thank you.

Its hard to get a full grasp of the errors from task scheduler. Try rewriting the Action portion of the Scheduled Task in a cmd prompt (with or without the elevated credentials). When the cmd line runs, the cmd host will convert to a black
powershell host and you will be able to read the errors.
C:\> powershell.exe -command { update-help }
or
C:\> powershell.exe -noprofile -file c:\scripts\dosomething.ps1
I solved a similar problem this week. When I ran my script from within powershell, all the required modules are normally present and the script ran fine. It was pretty clear which module I forgot to load at the beginning of the script once I could
watch it from start to finish
or, your script could dump the Error logs to a text file.
$Error | select * | out-file c:\errors.txt
Not the point. Look at the task scheduler history first. If the history is not enabled enable it. If it shows no error code then the script ran successfully but had an internal error.
There is only one place that an error can occur. This will trap it and set the exit code which will be visible in the event history:
$a=@'
<style>
BODY{
background-color:peachpuff;
TABLE{
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;
border-collapse: collapse;
TH{

border-color: black;
background-color:thistle;
TD{
border-width: 1px;
padding: 0px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;
background-color:PaleGoldenrod
</style>
Try{
$username=get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem |%{$_.username}
$precontent="<H2>Logged in User: $username</H2><br/><H2>Open Applications</H2><br/>"

ConvertTo-HTML -cssuri c:\scripts\style.css -preContent $precontent -body "<body bgcolor='peachpuff'/>"
$html | Out-File C:\Scripts\Test.htm -ErrorAction Stop

This is really an exercise in how to manage background tasks.
Using an error log is good assuming it is not the file system that you are having an issue with

KM Task Scheduler: How to create custom/editable properties?

Dear All,
I created a KM Scheduler Task using the NDWS Wizard.
The application was successfully deployed and the task runs fine. However, I would like to define some custom properties that could be edited by using the portal, like the standard ones such as Priority, CM Systems, etc.
Is that possible?
I already tried to add it in the portalapp.xml, and also in the auto generated files that are in data and meta folders (..co.xml), but the new properties have not appeared in the screen.
Thanks in advance,
Marco

Hi Romano,
Thanks for the input.
Do you know in which of the .co.xml files should be added? There is one in "data" and another in "meta" folders.
The one in "data" folder (actually in one of the subfolders of "data folder") has the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Configurable configclass="domain.task">
<property name="name" value="domain.task" />
<property name="active" value="true" />
<property name="description" value="Task Test" />
</Configurable>
I added in this file a new property but no result.
The one in meta folder (also in a subfolder of it) has the following:
<ConfigClass name="domain.task" extends="SchedulerTask">
<attribute name="class" type="class" constant="domain.task"/>
</ConfigClass>
In this one when I tried to add a new property the task simple does not show, maybe I am not using the correct syntax.
Do you know in which of these files I should put the custom property and using which syntax?
Thanks in advance,
Marco

Batch/Powershell file wont run via Task Scheduler

Hello,
I'm having trouble getting my Powershell file to run from Task Schedule during logoff. In short, I'm trying to upload my NTUSER.DAT (roaming profile) to my profiles folder on the file server. Dynamic VLAN switching does not support roaming profiles thus
I have to use a script to solve this issue.
My powershell script is as follows:
start-sleep -s 15
Set-Content -Path "C:\Temp\log.txt" -Value "Hello World"
$FileServer = 10.10.5.5
$FQDN = "$Env:UserDomain"
$User = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkLoginProfile | Sort-Object -Property LastLogon -Descending | Select-Object -Property * -First 1 | Where-Object {$_.LastLogon -match "(\d{14})"} | Foreach-Object { New-Object PSObject -Property @{ Name=$_.Name.TrimStart("$FQDN\") }} | Select -ExpandProperty Name
copy-item -path C:\Users\$User\NTUSER.DAT -destination \\$FileServer\Profiles$\$user.V2\ -force
copy-item -path C:\Users\$User\NTUSER.DAT -destination \\$FileServer\Profiles$\$user.V3\ -force
I have a task schedule to run as Domain Admin when event ID 4647 occurs (logoff). It is set to run with the Highest Privileges checked, also I have enabled to run weather the user is logged in or no. The Domain Admin account also has access to ever file,
both at source and destination. Set-ExecutionPolicy is set to unrestricted. The way I call the powershell script in Task Scheduler is:
Action: Start a program
Program/Script: C:\temp\launch.bat
The launch.bat contains the following:
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -File "CALL C:\temp\powershell.ps1"
The task is triggered each time when the user logs off, I have confirmed this in the logs. But the NTUSER.DAT file fails to copy over to the network, in fact the log.txt file isn't even generated. I have confirmed my code to work, it's just the task scheduler
part calling the code where I think it fails.
Can you guys point me in the right direction here? I know I'm close, but not sure what I'm missing.

Jrv,
Yes in my testing the task schedule is unreliable, I don't have any info on how long the profile is locked, thus I can't copy the profile to the server when the OS still has it locked.
What do you propose I change my vlan configuration to?
Thanks.
What you are trying to do cannot be done. That is why it is not being done. If you set up roaming profiles and redirected folders this would happen automatically. It would also happen very quickly. THat is because Windows posts cahnges
to teh roamed image as they happen. Only changes are copied. Items in teh registry which are only valid during logon (Dynamic Entries) are nver copied so updates that are not needed are not posted. It is these updates thaat can keep the registry
locked for a very long time.
If you scan your network you will likely find hives thaat are loaded with no one logged in. WIndows 7 and later have a utility that forces and unload after a few minutes. It posts the reson for the forced unload to the event log.
As for the VLAN it is likely not configured correctly. THe profile must be on a server that is available on the same net ID as the PC. YOu may also have to allow the switch to suspend if you are using per-user conenctions. Contact the VLAN
vendor and tell them about issues with Roamed profiles. THey will walk you through the setup. THe most common issue is thaat the switch specifies 1Gb and the server is set to 100Mb and the switch is not set to match the speed. THisis a simplpe
configuration error done by a tech who does not have much experience with VLANs. THey tend to think that setting everything to 1Gb or some other maximum will work but it won't. It can also be caused by a files server with a 1Gb card that is a pront
spooler spooling to a 100 or 10Mb older printer. This disrupts the card and the VLAN cannot attach to it until the spooler is dona nd the card can switch. It can also be caused by a bad card or a bad switch.
Then VLAN vendors techs are usually very good at troubleshooting this kind of issue. Remote VLAN logging and diagnostics can also pick out the issue.

How can I use MS Windows 7 Task Scheduler to start Cisco Jabber?

Hello Jabber community,
I have a need to automatically start Cisco Jabber client on my Desktop and have it connect to a SIP address of our CTX, then followed by the running of a recording application. The problem is I don't know the Jabber CLI to use to start it up and connect to the SIP address.
Can anyone please advise how to do this?
cheers,
-guy

Hi Guy,
I think you should probably open up a TAC case and get the TAC engineer to walk you through how to deploy Jabber.
When you say "SIP url", I presume you mean the CUPS/Webex server address. This address can be added to Jabber in 3 ways:
1. Transforming the MSI using the Orca tool.
2. Using msi install parameters
3. Entering the value when you run Jabber first.
Using a bat file in conjunction with task scheduler will not work and is not a supported way of doing. The 3 other options are also much easier to implement.
Thanks,

Error when using Windows Task Scheduler in C#

I am using Windows Task Scheduler in my Visual C# application. I add the reference to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\taskschd.dll (on a 64-bit system), and Visual Studio creates a COM wrapper Interop.TaskScheduler.dll. Ths works fine on Windows 7. However, when
I run on Windows 8.1, I get the following error:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'TaskScheduler.IExecAction'.
This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID
'{4C3D624D-FD6B-49A3-B9B7-09CB3CD3F047}' failed due to the following error:
No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
I noticed that on Windows 7, the above GUID exists in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface, with the value "IExecAction". But on Windows 8.1, there is no such GUID, and no key with value "IExecAction". I use IExecAction
in my code.
When I develop on Windows 8.1, the program compiles, but at runtime I get the above error.

Hello tomszms,
Here is a blog related to this issue and the troubleshoot steps of his error is very useful for your case, so please check for it:

Please try use the same way to track the logs and then try use the regsvr32
on your Win 8 machine to re-register that dll and see the result.

SCCM 2012 Clients not getting applications...

Hi
we have windows 7 clients getting applications deployments through SCCM 2012.
it was working fine...suddenly couple of clients on the particular collection not getting the applications and nothing is displayed on the software center.
verified the Site connections and re-pushed the policyes manually through config manager. restarted sms host agent service...still nothing is working out
getting "Policy does not yet exist on the client" in execmgr.log & CAS.log
where could be the issue? please help
thanks
ananth

I realize that this is an old forum post but in my search to resolve a similar policy application issue I stumbled across it and noticed that anan2k's last question wasn't answered (and I can help). First of all you can check the custom client/user configuration
in the Administration Node. By default SCCM creates a Default Client Settings and sets a priority of 10,000 though this is not deployed by default.
The policy polling interval is actually configured as one of the policies. When you create and deploy a custom client device policy you can select Client Policy as one of the custom settings and within this setting you can establish the policy polling schedule.
I have mine set to 30 minutes which may be a bit high but it generally worked for my environment.
I hope this helps a little bit though I imagine by now that you found the settings or resolved your issue. If you found a solution please post it as I am plagued by policy not applying to my clients.
Thanks again,
Chris Bolton

Issue with Task Scheduler on win 2012 R2

Hi All,
I am running a powershell script on windows server 2012 R2. It runs fine when i run it with powershell.
And when i create task and choose option " Run only when the user is logged in" it works fine.
But the issue is when i select "Run whether is the user is logged in or not" And with highest privilege it doesn't work.
Tried solution:
created a folder (or two on a 64bit-windows):
(32Bit, always)
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Dektop
(64Bit)
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
as the powershell creates a excel and saves it in the some folder.
not sure what is causing it.
Any help on this will be appreciated.

Hi,
From the
Task Security Context article, we can get following description.
You can specify that a task should run even if the account under which the task is scheduled to run is
not logged on when the task is triggered. To do this, select the radio button labeled Run whether user is logged on or not. If this radio button is selected, tasks will not run interactively. To make a task run interactively, select the Run only when user
is logged on radio button.
Just a confirmation, did your PowerShell script involve any operation of mapped drive? If involved, please
use the full UNC path and monitor the result. Please refer to following similar thread and check if can help you.
Task
Scheduler Problem (run whether user is logged on or not)
Meanwhile, please open this scheduled task’s Properties and navigate to History tab, then check if find some
relevant events.

If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.

KM Task Scheduler , retrieve IPortalComponentRequest request

Hello,
I would like to use KM Task Scheduler :
public void run( String id, Properties properties ) {
IPortalComponentRequest request;
String location = request.getPublicResourcePath();
It's normal, it doesn't work ! How can I use IPortalComponentRequest for my schedule task ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards,
Aurélien

Aurelien,
ok then, place your xml file into any package of your project. For example:
In package called "my.package.files" place file "myfile.xml"
then wherever within your code (let's assume you have an class called MySchedullerTask) call next structure:
URL url = MySchedullerTask.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("my/package/files/myfile.xml");
and then work with the file.
Just one more note: non Java files are not build always into application PAR acrhive.
To do so, you have to check in option:
"Yes, I want the non java sources includet into the portal components jars"
You will find this option in NWDS:
Window -> Preferences -> SAP Enterprise Portal -> Application Development Studio.

Use a "Write" Event on a Specific Drive or to a Specific Folder to Trigger a Task in Task Scheduler

I first posted this question on the Microsoft Community forum. It was suggested that I repost it here.
I have a question!
(Pleas forgive the long post...)
What I am trying to do: (This is what I have not yet figured out!)
I am trying to figure out how to trigger a task, in Windows Task Scheduler (WTS), whenever a "Disk Write" event occurs on a specified drive on the machine. - Or, more specifically, whenever a new file or folder is written or
saved to a specified Folder, or a specific Disk Partition, or a specific Hard Disk on the machine - whichever is more relevant for the end goal.
The overall goal:
When a "disk write" operation occurs and data is written to a specified location on a Hard Drive, start a Program at the beginning of the following hour, that will run a backup of the contents
of that location, (after - of course - the new data has been written). After the backup is complete, disallow the program from being started again at the beginning of the next hour, unless more data is written to the specified location beforehand.
Example:
At 2:27pm, I save a new word document to "D:\My Folder\". When the new Word doc file is saved to "D:\My Folder\", my preferred Backup software application is then scheduled to run a backup at the beginning of
the following hour - at 3:00pm - which will then create a new backup of "D:\My Folder\".
The backup software will NOT be scheduled to run again at the next following hour - at 4:00pm - unless another file or additional data is written to "D:\My Folder\" - between 3:00pm and 4:00pm.
Summary:
The goal here is to only run a backup at the beginning of the next hour, following a “disk write” event to a specified location on the hard drive.
Steps that I have, so far, on how to make this happen:
Whenever data is written to a specified location on a hard drive (i.e. "D:\My Folder\"), "Task A," in Windows Task Scheduler, will be triggered to execute its action.
The Action in "Task A" will run a script that changes the Status of "Task B" to ENABLED.
The Action in "Task B" will, on a continuous hourly schedule, start a program that will perform work on the machine. (In this case, it will run a Backup Task in my preferred backup software.)
Upon completion of work by that program (the Backup software), that program will run another script that will change the Status of "Task B" back to DISABLED; preventing "Task B" from continuing that program every hour
according to its hourly schedule.
How do I do this: ... ?
The thing holding me back on making this work is figuring out how to identify the source that generates the “disk write” event and event ID I need, so I can use it to trigger a task in Windows Task Scheduler - in the way that I need. Furthermore,
the “disk write” event needs to specific to a disk drive that I specify and if at all possible, specific to a location that I specify, i.e. “D:\My Folder\”.
Any help on this as well as other suggestions on making this work is greatly appreciated!

SyncToy 2.1 Can't Find NAS Folder When Run From Task Scheduler

I'm using SyncToy 2.1 to keep two WIN7 computers and a Synology DS414j NAS drive in sync. I have several folder pairs configured, some between the two PC's and three between one PC and the NAS drive. I have a task set up for automatic syncing. The problem
is SyncToy can't find the destination folders on the NAS drive if it's run from Task Scheduler. If I run SyncToy manually, everything works fine. I've even tried opening the command prompt and running the exact same program Task Scheduler is running (SyncToyCmd.exe
-R), and it works perfectly. But when Task Scheduler runs the task, it fails to find the NAS folders with the following error message:
SYNC: 08/21/2014 14:12:26:140: *** Failed to execute folder pair Downloads to NAS. Could not locate folder \\DISKSTATION\Downloads\.
I've been looking for days for a solution and have not found anyone with this problem. Any ideas?

Hi Texxxas,
Apparently the problem is not with SyncToy, it is with Task Scheduler. If you have had Task Scheduler work for you in the past, then I don't have an answer for that. I have never been able to get Task Scheduler to work correctly with SyncToy and a NAS drive.
I have found that for some reason it works with USB external HDD's but will not work with a network connected hard drive. The same bug exists in Win8.1 as well. However, I have since found a third party task scheduler that works perfectly with SyncToy and
my NAS drive. It is called System Scheduler by Splinterware. The free version only works when you are logged in but they have a paid version that runs as a service and will execute without being logged in. This has solved my problem.

Running a .cmd file at startup using Task Scheduler on Windows 2012 R2 server

Hello,
I've recently tried to get a simple .cmd file running at server startup on my Windows 2012 R2 server.
The .cmd (test.cmd) file contains the following:
C:
cd C:\SomeFolder\
call Some.exe file "Argument1" "Argument2"
I've ensured that the local administrator user [someuser01] has full control of the C:\SomeFolder
I've also ensured that someuser01 is part of Log on as Batch Job
in Local Security Policy
To try running it as startup, I tried using Task Scheduler.
General Tab: I set the user (local administrator account [someuser01] ) and ticked the options
Run whether logged on or not, Do not Store Password, Run with Highest Privileges
Triggers: At System Startup, Ticked Enabled
Actions: Start a Program. Program/Script: test.cmd, Add arguments: [Blank], Start in: C:\SomeFolder
Conditions: Unticked all conditions
Settings: Ticked only the following --> Allow task to be run on demand, If the running task does not end...force to stop
Then I clicked OK and was prompted for someuser01's credentials.
I then restarted the server.
Upon logging in as administrator, I checked the task scheduler, and I found that the task did not run (Last Run Time: Never)
I've been able to run it manually (click Run on the task in Task scheduler) without any problems.
I just cannot get it to run at startup as I've instructed Task Scheduler to do.
Any ideas on what might be causing this problem?
Thanks.

Hello Dave Patrick,
I've also tried this approach and I came across this error after I try to enter someuser01's credentials:
An error has occured for the task sometask01. Error message: The following error was reported: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated..
After doing some research, this new error is caused by a setting in Local Security:
Local Security Policy --> Security Options --> Network Access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication --> Enabled
Unfortunately, I cannot disable this Security Policy due to our company's internal restrictions.
Just to clarify, the reason that the task does not run at startup is because of a logon failure because the password was not stored for
someuser01 ?
However, I cannot allow storage of the password because of our our company's internal restrictions.
Is there a possible workaround for this..?
Thanks!
