KM Scheduler Tasks Missing!!

We have been experiencing KM Scheduler Tasks issues. The installed custom KM Schedulers disappear for some days and shows up again. There are four schedulers currently missing which we have installed with the last transport. We were able to see those schedulers after the transport migration. We have experienced the same issue last month and then the scheduler tasks started acting normal after multiple server restarts. However this time the server has been restarted four times since last one week but we still couldn't get to the missing four scheduler tasks.
We have checked the deployment log and the transport installed successfully

Please Help!!

Hi Dana,
You can use the standalone log-viewer to view the log files. See the documentation on sap help. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/47/209779bbe64a318454b64148a0c76d/frameset.htm
The best way would be to include some tracing and logging statements in your scheduler code.
Create a new location in your code
private static Location logger = Location.getLocation("mylocation");
and put some trace statements in your code
logger.intoT("start of method");
But you will have to create a new location in Log Configurator in the VA and set the severity level to INFO. Then in the default.trc you can filter on your location name to get the relevant traces.

  • KM Scheduler Task not running

    Hello All,
    I have created a scheduler task for the , for the same I have created a PAR file , have successfully Build the project and deployed , Have configured the time in the Global services . But for some reason I could not see the task being running in the "Component Monitor" (when I select the Services-->scheduler >select one of the CM systems (have two currently)>click on on the CM system ) I could not see my custom task .
    As well as When I go to "Service configuration" --> Portal Application , there also I could not see my custome application .
    Initially whenever there use to be any error (for example -- CM systems not assigned etc etc ).
    Is it something I am missing while deployement , Or has it being deployed properly?

    I am using the SP16 Developer studio to create the scheduler task. There is nothing in the scheduler task just a log message. Still this fails. Is this a bug or I am missing something here.
    I would really appreciate any help in this regards.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    just a guess - do you have your Description field filled in your CM configuration for task? From the trace it seems it could not read the property DESCRIPTION from the Cm configuration.
    Just check it...

  • Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

    Hi,
    I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
    data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
    Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
    The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
    When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
    I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
    are missing.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

    This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
    I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
    I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems  in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc.,  -BUT-
    The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively- 
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
    Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
    ( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
    folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

  • 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."

    + 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.

    @ 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)_/¯

  • Variable text is blank in emails when using Scheduled Task to email event log notifications

    I am trying to use powershell to email notification when a user account gets locked.  I am running the script from a server 2008 domain controller.
    I have tried multiple scripts and I have the same issue every time.  The script works fine when I run it directly from the powershell command line window.
    However whenever I try running the exact same scripts from an event-triggered scheduled task, the script runs, however any content that generated from a variable is not added to the email.  It is just left blank and ignored.
    I have tried adding lots of permissions including domain administrator group membership to the account  runs the task from and it doesn't include all the expected text unless I run it from the built-in domain administrator account.
    The task runs and the email is sent, but the email is missing all the content generated by variables.
    How can this be fixed?
    Here is an example script.
    $AccountLockOutEvent = Get-EventLog -LogName "Security" -InstanceID 4740 -Newest 1
    $LockedAccount = $($AccountLockOutEvent.ReplacementStrings[0])
    $AccountLockOutEventTime = $AccountLockOutEvent.TimeGenerated
    $AccountLockOutEventMessage = $AccountLockOutEvent.Message
    $messageParameters = @{

    Nothing like that appears in the email only hard coded text.
    I am not running it remotely.  I am logged directly onto the domain controller and I tried giving
    the account that is used to run the task more and more permissions including domain administrator group membership with the same result.
    When I run the exact same script on the same domain controller locally via the powershell CLI all of the info appears.
    This is the info when the email is generated by running the script directly from the powershell CLI:

  • Scheduled Task as Service Account - Failed to Start 2147943785

    I am attempting to run some powershell scripts that update membership of groups based on role attribute on users, then also grabs members of some groups and updates other groups with these members.
    I've delegated access through "security" to give this service account write:member and write:memberof for the Groups OU and write:memberof for the OUs containing the user accounts.
    I've updated my Default Domain Policy to give this service account Log On As Batch Job permissions.
    The scheduled task is running from a Domain Controller.
    When I attempt to run the task as the service account I receive the following:
    Task Scheduler failed to start "\SITE Role Membership" task for user "DOMAIN\GroupScripts$". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943785.
    What am I missing here?

    Hi Allister,
    Please follow these steps t troubleshoot:
    Type "gpedit.msc", try to configure the following policy:
     [Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment]
    1.  Log on as a batch job.

  • [Forum FAQ] Fixing scheduled task Next Run Time displaying as expired time plus days to delete

    Symptom:
    We used Task Scheduler to create a scheduled task. For example, we configured a daily task, starting from 3 AM 9/3/2014, recurring the task every 1 day, and set the expiration time as 3 AM 9/3/2015 (See Figure 1). Under
    Settings tab, we checked If the task is not scheduled to run again, delete if after:
    option, and set the value as 30 days (See Figure 2).
    However, in the Task Scheduler Library snap-in, we saw that the Next Run Time of the task is 3AM 10/3/2015, which equals expiration date plus days to delete (See Figure 3), but the right value should be 3 AM 9/2/2014 because the task has never been run.
    Figure 1
    Figure 2
    Figure 3
    Cause:
    This is a Task Scheduler interface displaying issue. Although the next run time that is displayed in the Task Schedule is incorrect, the trigger will be fired correctly.
    Solution:
    We can install the hotfix in the following KB article to fix the displaying issue, though the symptom in the article is different.
    An incorrect value for Next Run Time is displayed when you specify multiple triggers to schedule a task in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2495489
    After installing the hotfix, we need to restart computers to make it take effect.
    In this example, after installing the hotfix and restarting the computer, we see that the next run time of the task is displayed correctly in Task Scheduler (Figure 4).

    I am not running out of space, but I do have the same problem.  Every so often TM does a backup which is about 60 GB bigger than expected.   The  extra is always a new backup of /System /Applications /usr etc. - that is the 'system files'.
    The key thing is, as you have noticed:
    Examining the content of the latest backup, the one that did not fail, shows that some system directories, /Applications, /usr, and /bin are missing
    As a consequence the next backup is, in my case, 60 GB bigger because it includes all the system files.
    It is as if 'systemFilesExcluded' was turned on for the previous backup (the one that 'did not fail').  But I have looked in the .exclusions.plist for this backup and it is exactly the same as for other backups and does include:
            <key>systemFilesExcluded</key>
            <false/>
    It seems that TM is treating this as if <true/>.
    Like you, I have done a disk verify and it finds no errors.
    I think this must be a bug.  I have had this on four occassions since upgrading to Mountain Lion.  And it is doing a large one right now - I have caught it in the act!

  • Possible to rename a scheduled task via the GUI?

    It seems that the name of a scheduled task in Windows 7 is greyed-out (cannot be edited) after the task has been created. Is this by design? Or am I missing something? I find it less than ideal to have to Export/Import a scheduled task simply to change
    its name. Thank you.

    Hi,
    I confirmed this question with my colleague; it looks this is by design. For a security workaround, as you said, export-rename-import.

  • Creating scheduled task to run powershell script

    Hi all,
    been following this guide on how to create scheduled task to run a .ps1 script:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/08/11/weekend-scripter-use-the-windows-task-scheduler-to-run-a-windows-powershell-script.aspx
    When I manually run this task,in the history it says success, but it doesnt work.
    The script should create a report and send me an e-mail.It works fine if i run it manually in Windows powershell or Powershell ISE.
    I cannot see that a new report have been created either.
    Anything im missing here?
    Been using same account to run it manually and the one using in task scheduler.
    thanks!

  • Scheduler Tasks in KM

    Hi,
    I created a task by following this blog:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/weblogs.sdn?blog=/pub/wlg/1515
    It doesn't seem that my job is starting up.  Where do I go to look at a log of an execution?  Do I need to stop and restart the J2EE engine in order for the scheduler jobs to start up?  (I am on NW2004)
    My steps were:
    1. Create portal application project
    2. Create the Respository Framework 7.1.5 Schduler Task wizard
    3. Put my java code in the "run" method - I did execute the same code in a standalone project to be sure it doesn't contain bugs.
    4. Created PAR file and uploaded to portal server
    5. Configured the Scheduler task as shown in the BLOG- I was not sure if I should check off a CM System- I have tried both ways and it doesn't seem to run either way.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Dana,
    You can use the standalone log-viewer to view the log files. See the documentation on sap help. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/47/209779bbe64a318454b64148a0c76d/frameset.htm
    The best way would be to include some tracing and logging statements in your scheduler code.
    Create a new location in your code
    private static Location logger = Location.getLocation("mylocation");
    and put some trace statements in your code
    logger.intoT("start of method");
    But you will have to create a new location in Log Configurator in the VA and set the severity level to INFO. Then in the default.trc you can filter on your location name to get the relevant traces.

    Hi,
    Try some thing like this:
    ClassLoader originalContextClassLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();                                   
    try {
              Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
              Context initial = new InitialContext();

              Object obj = PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, BeanHome.class);
         } catch (NamingException ex) {
              ex.printStackTrace();          
         } catch (Exception ex) {

  • Deletion of KM scheduler Task

    Hello All,
    I have a a scheduled task in SA>SC>KM>CM>Global services -->Scheduler Task --> <My custom scheduler>.
    Now I want to delete the scheduler .
    I went through the following forum links
    http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=486614&tstart=7950
    And
    https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=57900
    When I select my <custom scheduler task> and  click on "delete" . It say "No <No custom scheduler task > available yet in configuration" .
    Where exactly is the scheduler task configuration ?
    Kind inputs please.
    Regards,

    Hi Ronniee,
    To remove the scheduler task completly use the ConfigUninstaller component and remove the config file of your project.

  • Deployed KM Scheduler Task Does Not Appear in Global Services / Scheduler T

    Hi All,
    I've deployed a portal service and a KM scheduler task in the same DC but cannot see the scheduler task listed under System Admin -> System Config -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Global Services -> Scheduler Tasks.
    The service works correctly and performs its periodic processing once on initialisation of the service, and I can see the resulting log statements to make sure it has worked.
    Both the service and the scheduler task are packed inside the same DC, which builds and deploys without any errors.
    There are no errors in the log regarding the deployment of the DC, or the scheduler task.
    There is a log statement about registering the classloader for the DC, which I assume is the statement in the IRFServiceWrapper init() that goes:
    CrtClassLoaderRegistry.addClassLoader(this.getKey(), this.getClass().getClassLoader());
    But I still dont see the task listed in Global Services -> Scheduler Tasks.
    Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to diagnose the problem further?
    Cheers,
    Steve

    Hi Srini,
    No it doesn't it just has the run method which is generated automatically.
    I have created a local Portal Application project, which is not in a DC, and this also does not have a default constructor ether but appears in the Scheduler Tasks list as soon as it is deployed.
    I also tried to create a Portal Applicaiton DC and Portal Applicaiton (Packaged as SDA) DC and despite the scheduler task being the same, both the DC tasks do not appear in the Scheduler Tasks.
    The only one I can get to work is the local Portal Application project. This is no use as we cant store this in DTR (unless someone can explain how to do this???).
    The Portal Application project packages up the RF Framework JARS inside its PAR file, but the DC and SDA projects dont, so I tried including them via an Assembly Public Part to an External Library DC, which does include the JARs in the deployment files but they still dont appear in the Scheduler Tasks.
    Has anyone out there got a working Scheduler Task in a Portal Application DC?
    Cheers,
    Steve
