Scheduled job keeps hanging after sveral days

MII experts,
We are using MII 12.0.8.  I have several scheduled jobs.  Those that run once every day never have any problem.  However, I have one that runs every 10 minutes keeps hanging after running for 3-4 days.  I have to stop and start to kick it off again if that happens.  When it hangs, it appears it is still in running state but it never finish.
Have anyone seen this problem before?
Thanks.

We are running MII Version 12.1.5 Build(91) and have noticed jobs in the schedule that are running but are obviously not doing anything.  These jobs are user to trnsfer files around our site via ftp.
MII gives no error or indication that the job has failed so we know nothing about these problems untill an end user complains about their file transfers not working.  As we are a 24 by 7 site this involves calls to aur support people at all hours.
We have asked SAP for help but they require a Step by Step method to duplicate the error.  As this is a very intermitant problem that we have not been able to reproduce on demand this request has been ignored by SAP.
We have many schedule jobs that run once per minute.  Slowing them down more would have a bad impact on the usefullnes of the transfers.
If anyone gets an answer to this issue we would love to hear it.

  • BI Publisher (Obiee 11g) Scheduled jobs start randomly after services restarting

    Hi everybody,
    I've a problem with scheduled jobs on BI Publisher that start randomly after server restarting.
    For example if there's a job scheduled every day at 8.00 am it works fine until the server is not restarted but when I restart it next job running start at 9.28 am (it is an example because the real start time is very unpredictable).
    In my case bi publisher is integrated with obiee 11g (11.1.1.6.2) and I've scheduled jobs with administrative user (weblogic). For this user I've set the Bi Publisher Preferences (report locale = Italiano-Italia, Report Time Zone = GMT +1:00) from obiee analytics user account preferencies.
    Can anyone have this problem too and help me?
    Thanks

    These are not helpful. The first link is to OBIEE 10g and the second is just an install guide. I am having the same issue with BI Publisher returning java.lang.NullPointerException in OBIEE 11g. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

    Hi,
    Could anybody please tell me how can we schedule jobs from programs(prgramatically) with condition-start after job(after a particular job completed) like we have the same option in sm36.

  • SAP Web As Java Hangs after few days using it

    Hi everybody,
       I have some applications on an Enterprise Portal running in a Java Web As 6.40. Recently, the following problem has appeared: After a day or two of normal use, the portal starts to reject all the connections that are established to it (specifically, the internet explorer gives a time out error), although in Microsoft Management Console shows all processes in green. The problem solves restarting the instance, but the portal remains functional only few days.
       Any hints on solving this?
    Thanks for any help,

    Hi Parga,
    From your case, i believe that there has to be some problem with either application threads or heap memory, which are being freed up after restart.
    Kindly let me know the Min  Count and Max Count of Application threads, also the heap memory and your physical Memory(RAM).
    Do you have any backend systems connected?

  • How to schedule job to execute after 5 seconds gap using the program

    Hi ALL,
    How to schedule the program to run after 5 seconds to execute using JOB_OPEN,JOB_CLOSE,SUB_SUBMIT function modules in which parameter I should give this 5 secnods?
    Regards
    mahesh

    Hi,
    You can use the import parameters of function module JOB_CLOSE
    SDLSTRTDT & SDLSTRTTM
    to pass the required start date and time (respectively) of your background job. That is, if you want the job to be scheduled and start at a fixed time (as in your case 5 seconds in the future), you can determine the start date and time as 5 seconds ahead of sy-uzeit and pass the resultant values to the mentioned importing parameters.
    Cheers,

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep hanging after the upgrade to iOS 6?

    My phone will hang when i launch the twitter app sometimes. After approx of 3-5 minutes of freeze screen, the apple logo appears. After about 1 minute of apple logo on the screen, the phone resumes its normal function.

    Sounds like something got corrupted during your upgrade.
    I would restore from a last known good backup if I were you.
    If that doesn't work I would set the phone up as new and re-install all of your apps and re-sync your music again.

  • Scheduled shutdown problem reappeared after two days...

    My computer had stopped shutting down at its scheduled time, I read all the advice I could find on this forum, and finally was successful in rescheduling the shut down by deleting the "com.apple.AutoWakeplist" file. It worked for two days. This morning I came in to find my computer was still on, for no apparent reason (no files needed to be saved, etc...). Does anyone have any idea as to what might be going on?

    Hi limnicky,
    Before I could respond to you, I had to go back and figure out what I had done to solve my problem. Hopefully this will help you out if you haven't already figured out a solution. Actually, I'm just repeating what others have shared with me...
    Have you read this: Mac OS X 10.3: Retaining Energy Saver schedule preferences ?
    In my case, that didn't help, so I deleted the "com.apple.AutoWakeplist" file, and that worked for me. As indicated in the post you responded to, I thought the problem had returned, but as I posted to NifflerX, it was my husband unexpectedly using my computer. (A solar eclipse is more common than him using the computer, so I didn't even think of it at first).
    I, too, had trouble finding the plist. I think you might find it in your SystemConfiguration folder. Note that SystemConfiguration is written as one word if you look for it with the Finder.
    I hope this helps. Our computers can sure be ornery sometimes!!
    Cheers,

  • App builder keeps hanging after splash screen images added

    After I upload all my splash screens for SD and HD, I cannot proceed to the next screen.
    There are green checks next to HD and SD, and all looks good.
    I have not uploaded any fonts as there is no HTML in the app.
    I have deleted and re-downloaded the app builder and still get the same behavior.

    The problem was that one of the images had a resolution of 72.09 instead of an even 72. after I changed it it worked. Thanks.

  • OIM 11g - User Not enabled After the job "enable user after start date"

    Hi,
    I have a future hired user in OIM whose start date is set in OIM. The status of the user in OIM is 'Disabled Until Start Date'.
    After the start date has passed and the scheduled job 'enable user after start date' is run, I see that the user is still in the status 'Disabled Until Start Date'. I re-run the scheduled job 'enable user after start date', this time manually, still the state of the user remains unchanged.
    Please help in troubleshooting as to find out the root cause of the issue and a workaround/solution, if possible.
    This issue is intermittent and has happened with quite a number of user. Any pointer would be helpful.
    Regards,
    Sudipto S.

    I agree with Nayan.
    One alternative approach can be to write your own custom scheduler which can overcome the limitation of OOTB scheduled job 'enable user after start date'. Let the OOTB job get executed first. After it, your custom scheduler should fire a simple SQL Query:
    SELECT USR_KEY, USR_STATUS FROM USR WHERE (USR_START_DATE > SYSDATE -1) AND USR_STATUS='Disabled Until Start Date';
    //Means those users who are supposed to get enabled today and are still not yet enabled and are in 'Disabled Until Start Date'. May be 2-3 user keys at max will come...
    As you said it happens only intermittently and not for all users... So, let the OOTB scheduled job take care of most of such users... And after it has finished, if any user still remains in 'Disabled Until Start Date', your custom scheduler should enable it via using tcUserOperationsIntf.enableUser(userKey);
    Using API is always better than database update... Because APIs trigger downstream provisioning workflows as well and not just updates OIM Database...
    Keeping your constraints in mind, I think it is the correct answer.

  • Help! - Xserve running Mac OS X 10.6 Server keep hanging!

    I have a situation here where the Xserve I set up running Mac OS X 10.6 Server keeps hanging after a while. I have re-installed from the scratch thinking it was the third party software I used in importing users and groups but the problem is still there. I checked the error log of directory services and the only error I can see is "Network Transition Occurred". I read some fix on the internet as regards to the spotlight re-indexing being the likely cause. I have enabled the privacy setting of spotlight with the hope that this will stop. I am still waiting because I implemented this some couple of minutes ago. Do anyone know the solution to this issue in case the spotlight setting does not work. I am kinda frustrated with this issue.

    There are many possible issues.
    Network transition, to me, sounds like there is something happening that is changing the network settings. Disable any wifi if you can. Check and double check all network cables, static IP addresses, DNS, make sure there are no rouge DCHP servers on the network, or multiple routers, etc...
    I would check to see if there are networking issues.
    Also, if you're running Time Machine (TM), try turning it off for a few days (of course, have a good solid backup actively running, just not TM, which isn't really the best for a server anyways for various reasons.
    Cheers,
    Daniel

  • Scheduled Jobs and Server Maintenance

    Hi All,
    Running SQL 2012.  We have a series of scheduled jobs that run once per day, with no retry interval set.  I was informed by IT today that they need to perform unscheduled maintenance on the server this evening - which may or may not be completed
    by the time our jobs are set to run.  My question is: if a job is set to run at (say) 10pm, and the server is off - when it is restarted, does it try and execute this missed job?  Or does it just do nothing and next execute according to it's regular
    schedule (so, at 10pm the following night?)
    Thanks.

    The job doesn't fail if SQL Server isn't started when the job is supposed to start. If SQL Server isn't started, then there is nothing tat will attempt to start the job and there's nothing to fail.
    There's no re-try here. SQL Server Agent will run the job next time (assuming it is started, of course).

    Hello Tibor,
    I guess this is what Prashanth was trying to say. That if job is missed,because agent was not online, when agent comes online it wont execute it immediately but would follow normal course. Hope I am saying correct

  • Scheduled jobs do not run as expected after upgrading to 10.2.0.3 or 4

    FYI, we've had a ticket open for several days because our scheduled jobs (dbms_scheduler) would no longer run as scheduled after an upgrade to 10.2.0.4 on HPUX, couldn't find the solution by searching in metalink, nor did I find it here or using Google - obviously I wasn't searching correctly. There is a note id that references a set of steps that appears to have resolved our problem. I am putting this note out here so that if you encountered the same difficulty you may come across this note earlier in your troubleshooting efforts rather than later. The full title of the note is: 'Scheduled jobs do not run as expected after upgrading to either 10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4'. The Doc ID is: 731678.1.

    Thanks - our ticket should be getting closed out on it (our dba will be updating it), the scheduler has been running reliably since we took the steps in the doc mentioned.
