Not able to send mail in a custom timer job

Hi,
I have implemented a custom timer job to send a mail when a list data field is equal to the current date.
I have debugged the code in VS and it is executed correctly if I am using it in a button click event of a webpart .
But problem is its not sending the mails while I am appling the same code as a timer job.
Can somebody help me out?
BR,
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
I agree with Martin, you definetly need to log what happens inside the timer job.
I suggest to always use a try / catch block within the methods of your assembly, and trace out (using System.Diagnostics.Trace, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.trace.aspx and its methods for example, TraceInformation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.trace.traceinformation.aspx) the exceptions if happen. Also, it is good practice to trace out each entry and exit points. Use the WinDbg (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc266321.aspx, http://windbg.dumpanalysis.org/) to catch the output.
You can redirect the trace output to file (see <listeners> Element for <trace> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zh3a61fw.aspx, and Trace Listeners http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa983739(VS.71).aspx)
You can even write your log messages to SharePoint Unified Logging System as described here:

Migrate Inplace Custom Timer Job to Online

Hi All,
I am pretty new in SharePoint Online, we have planned to migrate all SharePoint 2010 In-place contents to SharePoint Online. We have few timer jobs deployed in our farm and do not have access to Online servers to migrate custom timer jobs.
Hence what should be the best strategy to migrate these?
Regards,
Ripon Kundu

Timer jobs cannot be migrated or created in Office 365. You do not have the access to run those things.
You'll have to re-design your solution.

Custom Timer Job to execute WCF web service error - Could not find default endpoint element that references contract

Hi,
I am currently creating custom timer job to call WCF web service to perform nighty job to update employee document library metadata. If I update regular list/library items it updates correctly on a specified interval basis. However when I try to integrate
the WCF client, it throws error shown below :
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract EmployeeServiceReference.
EmployeeServiceClient in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.
I followed exact instructions Andrew Connell has provided but included my logic in execute()
public
override
void Execute(Guid
targetInstanceId)
var empClient =
new
'ServiceReference.EmployeeServiceClient();
var employee = empClient.EmployeesMethod();
I have tried all approaches to manually adding app.config settings in sharepoing web.config but still it throws the error mentioned. It seems that application config and sharepoint site config binding issue still exist and cannot be resolved.

Will you please help resolving this issue?

Hi,
You can use any of the three approaches:-
1) Access web application's web.config programmatically in Execute() method.
http://praveenkasireddy.wordpress.com/2012/12/14/access-web-application-configuration-values-in-timer-job-sharepoint/
2) Store the configuration in xml and upload it to SharePoint document library then read from there
http://www.sharepointdynamics.net/2011/08/using-an-xml-settings-file-to-store-values-for-your-sharepoint-projects/
3) Programmatically configure a WCF endpoint.

Custom Timer Jobs not visible in Central Admin Job Definitions

I have multiple custom timer jobs which I was using on old farm, and it was successfully working and was visible in the Central Admin Job Definitions.
But ever since I moved to new farm, by restoring the site collections from old to new farm, and deployed the custom timer jobs on new farm, they are not visible in Central Admin Job Definitions.
I tried to change the scope of the solution to "Web Application", and deployed it's wsp in new farm, then also they are not visible in Job Definitions. But I can see them in "Farm Solutions", they have been successfully deployed.
Please suggest what should I do.

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPWeb wb = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;
if (wb == null)
throw new SPException("Error obtaining reference to context Site ");
// make sure the job isn't already registered
foreach (SPJobDefinition job in wb.Site.WebApplication.JobDefinitions)
if (job.Name == List_JOB_NAME)
job.Delete();
RSS listLoggerJob = new RSS(List_JOB_NAME, wb.Site.WebApplication);
SPHourlySchedule schedule = new SPHourlySchedule();
schedule.BeginMinute = 0;
schedule.EndMinute = 59;
listLoggerJob.Schedule = schedule;
listLoggerJob.Update();
public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPWeb wb = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;
// delete the job
foreach (SPJobDefinition job in wb.Site.WebApplication.JobDefinitions)
if (job.Name == List_JOB_NAME)
job.Delete();

Disable event firing while updating list item in custom timer job

Hi
I am adding new items in the list usign custom timer job.
While adding the items in the list event receiver of another list (which is not related to list which is updating) is getiing fired due to which I am getting data wrongly updated and exceptions are comming.
why the another lists event recevier is executing while updating my list?
How can I disable event firing from timer job code?
please suggest any solution

Hello,
It seems you have deployed your event receiver globally and it is applied to all the lists. I can suggest two ways:
1. Either you update your event receiver feature.xml file and attached to specific list, wherever you want. You can follow below link to attach event with specific list via code:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.speventreceiverdefinition.aspx
Or instead of code you can also pass ListUrl in feature.xml file:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff398052.aspx
2. OR delete event receiver from the list: You can use below code in your timer job to delete event receiver

Access denied error in feature receiver code when deploying-activating custom timer job feature

hi,
am creating a sp timer job for a updating a list.when i write this code in a the event receiver featureactivated method, and when i activate this feature , am getting access denied error.
but, when i deploy this timer job [ without feature receiver] through powershell, it works.
i didnt run this feature receiver with runwithelevatedprivileges delegate - i think this wlll NOT solve the issue.
from one of the posts i seen that, current logedin user needs to be part of config database roles. i didnt understand this point. how can i add my current loge din user into the sp_config database roles? is it through SSMS 2012?
or
is there any way to achieve without feature event receiver?
otherwise i will be forced to write my business logic in a console appln and add this exe in a windows scheduler.!
help is appreciated!

hi Waqas,
i have ran that powershell script you have pointed to me.
function Set-RemoteAdministratorAccessDenied-False()
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") > $null
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration") > $null
# get content web service
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
# turn off remote administration security
$contentService.RemoteAdministratorAccessDenied = $false
$contentService.Update()
now i need to test the functionality from the event receiver after Activate feature button click.
BTW, i have written a console appln for my business logic and created an exe.
also, should i test it with a web application levels coped feature instead of site collection level feature? this thread talks abt the same:

Background Job running long time.

Hello All,
One of customer background job running for long time more than 11 hours, but usually this jobs get completed within 4 hrs.
I have checked in WP trace file, it shows "WP has reached abap/heaplimit=40000000".
This is the Value I can see in RZ11. Now it is not possible to change the value.
Frequently facing this problem, please guide me to solve this issue.
Regards
Vinay.

Hi
First of all, abap/heaplimit is the limit of memory usage by a WP.
Follwing is the documentation from help.sap.com
The value of the parameter should be between 10000000 (10 MB) and 2000000000 (2GB), the recommended default setting is 40000000 (40 MB).
The objective is to have the least number of work process restarts as possible, without a swap space bottleneck occurring. The heap memory allocated by the work processes has to be released again.
As shown in the graphic, the value of abap/heaplimit should be smaller than abap/heap_area_dia or abap/heap_area_nondia, so that the dialog step that is running can still be executed. This prevents the work process from working against the operating systemu2019s swap space limit if there is a programmed termination of the work process.
So,Do the above checks. And importantly check the memory utilizations at the time of running your job and check whether any other job was also running at the sametime.
Increasing the parametes is not a good idea.. If you continuously face this issue then only think of parametes. As u said ,this problem is not happenng too often.
Hope this is useful

Background Job Running long time in Production system ???

Hi guys,
I have custom report which runs normally in 20 minutes. i am executing this report every day. but when i execute the same report yesterday it took 5 hours.
i did the performance trace ....the sql statements are in acceptable range only. i don't see any major time consumption.
since it's in production system we can't debug the active job....
can u guys, throw light on this issue.
Note : there are many posts related to this already in the forum, but not helps to resolve my issue.
Regards
Girish

Giri,
You can use STAD (or older one SE30) to have a trace of the program if you have that access and will be a great help in finding the problem.
If you can't due to some reason, then next time job runs for long (while in ACTIVE state), check SM50 regularly to see that the is process hanging on a table fetch, check that any of the DB table is not getting frequent locks in SM12.
Also, you should check that if your job does any table update, is there any new index created in prod system for that table.
If you can't find anything, then take the necessary access in Prod from basis temporarily and debug the job to find exact issue.

It is possible to run a timer job in Office 365 online?

Hi All,
Is it possible to run a timer job on 1st of every month for a list in office 365? I have a requirement that I need to send data of current month via email on 1st of every month. should I use timer job in Office 365?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Darsh,
There is no option available to run a timer job in SharePoint Online (Office 365), SharePoint timer job option is available only in SharePoint On-premise.
Microsoft Office 365 provide an alternate of the SharePoint timer Job "Web Jobs" on Azure. You can create Web Job by 2 types
Web Job as a App on SharePoint
Web Job as a scheduler

Why my timer job is not running?

I have a server farm configuration with 1 web server, 2 app servers and 1 database server.
What i am trying to do from timer job is to loop through all web applications present in the server farm and perform some action against some web-applications.
I have timer job which is provisioned with web-application(central admin web app) and locktype as contentDatabse passed as parameter, and i have scheduled this job to run every 2 minutes. This timer job is provisioned by a feature which has a farm
scope.
My timer job never runs.
If i stop the SharePoint timer service running in the app servers my timer job runs. From this
blog i have came to know that "So, the first thing is that for a particular server to be eligible to run the job, it must be provisioned
with the service or web app associated with the job." And my app servers does not host the web applications.
My questions is.
1. Why is my timer job is trying to run from the app servers?
2. If i pass a web server while provisioning timer job is that correct? I think timer job becomes tied to particular server and removing/
taking it down may make the timer job not to run.
Thanks,
Mallikarjun
