Scheduled Tasks Skipping

Hi All,
I have an scheduled tasks on windows server 2008 standard, Which were working fine from couple of years.
Now we are facing the issue of skipping the tasks without any error in history tab.
" Next Run Time " is getting updated But the "Last Run Time" is in hold.
We had tried troubleshooting following steps:
1) Firstly, Windows update was cancelled & Restarted the server (Tasks started working fine with the End Result for 2 Days then Stopped)
2)Deleted all the tasks & scheduled the tasks again then restarted (Tasks started working again with the final outcome for few days then Stopped Issue started again)
Now we are confused and searched many Forums but we didn't find the solution.
We have 7 Tasks which triggers an .EXE File. It Runs Manually & do the process.
I have seen this System Task Running always "Certificate Services Client automatically manages digital identities such as Certificates, Keys and Credentials for the users and the machine, enabling enrollment,
roaming and other services" is this might be the reason..
Need the solution ASAP, I request all pro's to find me a solution.

This forum is for AD not general server question. I will move you to the Server General forum.

Hi Hidayath,
Please post detailed information about the task you have scheduled, and the detailed setting like the task's trigger and the task's action to help us to troubleshoot.
In addition, Cause The Task Scheduler may be conflicts to Automatic Updates service. Since some updates may require restarting the computer. At this point, the scheduled task will be temporary
hang. Please also try to temporarily stop the automatic update, check the tasks scheduled whether the same issue still exists.
Reference from this thread:
Task scheduler does not start scheduled
tasks reliably

Running without Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task

I'm trying to understand how to avoid installing Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task.
I am also unable to remove the Scheduled Task using a script that works on other tasks, on the same workstations.
Is there an mms.cfg setting that will instruct the installer to skip the Task?
1) Uninstall the Scheduled Task from all workstations in my environment.
2) Install future updates without the Scheduled Task.
I have already tried mm.cfg with these lines:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
It still runs the update process every hour.
I have explained that it hasn't been causing a problem, but running this many processes on so many computers for no reason is causing some concern.
My organization also does not allow big bang automation included with this product.
Has anyone managed to shut off the Updater process from running?
Thank you

Hi Ethan,
try creating an MST file, with Fx, Wise package studio...
Edit the CustomAction “NewCustomAction1” added the parameter “-au 2” to the Command line argument.
you should do that for both:
install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi
and
install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi
If you are using both of them..
Or you can delete the scheduled task with schtask /delete "taskname"

Scheduled Tasks - same bug 6 years on

About 6 years ago I noticed an annoying bug in the CF5 admin
interface when editing a scheduled task. A previously entered value
for a recurring daily time always vanishes as if you never entered
one in the first place.
I admit that I skipped CF6 and jumped straight from 5 to 7 so
perhaps this bug was fixed in CF6, but it's staring me in the face
on version 7, like an old enemy who you can never escape from.
Adobe - is this still on your bug list? It will be drawing
its pension soon! ;-)

Sure I'm running hotfix 2. Without it that would be like
running an original shrink wrapped version of Windows without any
of its 100's of patches. ;-) Or is that 1000's? I've lost
count.

Hi,
Please check if there is a "CertificateServiceClient" in Task Scheduler.
As you suspect it is the cause, test to disable "Certificate Services Client service" in Services.msc to see if issue still exists.
If it is related, try to Increase the interval of SystemTask and UserTask under "CertificateServiceClient" in Task Scheduler to see if issue is affected.

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 objref = initial.lookup("JNDI Name Of the Session Bean");
 Object obj = PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, BeanHome.class);
 } catch (NamingException ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 } catch (Exception ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 finally {
 Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(originalContextClassLoader);

Where exactly is the scheduler task configuration ?
Kind inputs please.

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

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?

KM Scheduler Task

Hello All,
We have a scenario where I have scheduled a task written a Java program (System Administration > System Configuration> Knowledge Management --> Global services --> Scheduler Task --> Program (I am able to see the program )).
But for some reason I doubt if the scheduler is running . I have assigned the schedule , BUT NOT THE CM SYSTEM , we have two CM systems here , How do I come to know which one to select ?

Hello,
Looking at the default trace I am getting the following errors.
Could not find the command java class for alias xxx . Check whether the archive containing the mapped java class is deployed.
xxx = <search_from_here>
 <lock_mass>
 <link_details>
 <new_folder>.
Any Idea what might be the resolution for the same .
On the portal level, I have gone to System administration --> System Confguration --> Content Management -->User Interface --> UI Commands , I can see "search_from_here" , "lock_mass" , "link_details" , "new_folder" commands , but how are these commands related ?. How can I resolve the given problem related to the scheduler task.

I need to know the key differences between KM Scheduler task implementation and SAP Netweaver Scheduler for java task implementation. Which one is better and why?
Thanks for looking into this and for you patience in answering the question.

KM Scheduler Task is not running...

Dear All,
I have created a KM Scheduler Task using the NDWS Wizard. I followed prakash's blog (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1515). My doubt is where exactly the attributes are created? and can any one guide how to create the attributes in .cc.xml file. And how does public void run( String id, Properties properties ) it works?
The application was successfully deployed. I am able to see my task under System Administration->System Configuration->Knowledge Management->Configuration->Content Management->Global Services->Scheduler Tasks. but I think it is not running. Can any one give some clue on this. As i'm not finding any thing uder Kmcontent>Documents.
Do i need to configure anything to run KM scheduler Task?
Thanks and Regards,
JAGAN.

Hi Jagan,
The status "0" for your task in "Component Monitor" is fine.
Navigate to System Administration> System Configuration>Service Configuration. You can see here Applications and Portal runtime.
Open Applications--> and you Task. Right click on your task folder and say Administrate. Here you check whether your task has been stopped, running. Make sure its running. ( Try refresh, if its already running ).
In you task folder, you will see "Service Folder" under this, you will see "RFServiceWrapper", right click on it and say configure, make sure the values are like shown below:
Name : http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm/sch
Value: Value1
Also make sure in your portalapp.xml, the values are same:
RFServiceWrapper
service-config
className= com.sap.netweaver.rf.wrapper.RFServiceWrapper
startup= true
service-profile
Name= = http://sapportals.com/xmlns/sch
Prof= Value1
You see tha the same name is used "Value1" in RFServiceWrapper both in portalapp.xml and in Service Configuration.
You can use any other name but the it should be same in both the places.
Make all these changes, and then restart your task in Service configuration again. Any changes in portalappl.xml, restart is necessary.
Kind Regards,
Poornima

KM Scheduler Task Cache issue

We have created couple of custom schedulers in Enterprise Portal. These schedulers are worked fine in our QA and DEV environment. But when we move the same transport to Production the scheduleru2019s tasks are not showing up in KM scheduler list. But after restarting J2EE couple of times it's showing up in KM scheduler task. This is the behavior we are seeing whenever we move the scheduler to production.
Here are the some technical details about the scheduler,
We have created one Portal Development component and 10 Scheduler Tasks under this component. All the tasks are not created in a single release. Initially when we develop we used to have 2 scheduler tasks under this component, when we move this transport to production we didn't faced any issue. Even after adding 4 to 5 scheduler task we didn't had any issues. After adding more than 6 to 7 whenever we add one we are getting the same issue.
Question: 1 - Is there any limit to for adding Scheduler task in one Portal Component?
This time we have restarted our server more than 5 times but scheduler not showed up. We ask our manger to logon to the portal server who never navigated to KM screen, we ask her to navigate and she did. For her schedulers are showed up. After she navigated to the KM screen everybody is able to see the scheduler. This is not the first time it happens like this, the same situation happen for the previous release also. In previous release we ask our Technical Architect to login to see KM schedulers. After his login everybody is able to see the schedulers.
After doing all these is what I obverse is, it seems KM scheduler has some server level cache for the user and it's giving old screen whenever we are trying to login and see. After the transport, the cache is not getting updated with the new version.
We guess it might be something we need to do with cache.
Is there any idea why the system is behaving like this.

Hi,
I am facing similar issue. How did you resolve it?
