  • 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.

  • SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot System Service not visible in Central Administration

    Hi all,
    I want to test PowerPivot 2012 on the following configuration:
    - Windows Server 2008 R2 
    - Sharepoint 2010 - Enterprise edition
    - SQL Server 2008 R2 
    - PowerPivot for Sharepoint<o:p></o:p>
    As such, I downloaded SQL Server 2012 Evaluation and tried to upgrade SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint instance to SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot
    for Sharepoint. It didn't work as it's not possible to upgrade from Enterprise to Evaluation edition without a pid.
    Next, I uninstalled the existing SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint and I installed the SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for Sharepoint. 
    I started to configure PowerPivot in Central administration (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210609.aspx) , but I got stuck at the 2nd step Create and Configure a PowerPivot
    Service Application (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210685.aspx) in Central Administration.
    The problem is that both SQL Integration Service  and SQL Server PowerPivot System service are not visible in Central administration > Manage
    services on server; however they are visible and running in Windows Administrative Tools > Services.
    Do you think the services are missing in Sharepoint Central Administration because the Sharepoint configuration database is on SQL Server 2008, while the Powerpivot instance is on SQL Server 2012 ?

    Thank you for the suggestion.
    Meanwhile I have managed to solve the problem. What I've done:
    - remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
    - uninstall PowerPivot
    - reinstall PowerPivot
    - run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - I still got the parent service error
    - remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
    - run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time I received another error regarding the user that runs SQL Server Integration services
    - check  Sql Server Analysis Service account in Central Administration > Security > Service accountsManage service account - it seems that it was running under Local System account, although in Administrative Tools > Services it appeared to
    be run by my domain account
    - set a domain account for Sql Server Analysis Service in Central Administration
    - run the PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time it went smoothly.

  • 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,

    Hi sathyaav,
    I followed the example and made a test in my environment, it works like a charm.
    I suggest you check if you have inputed the valid site URL when you create the project solution.
    If you deployed succeed in the Central Administrator Site using Visual Studio, then the job named "Simple Job Definition" will appear in the job definition list.

  • ESS job created not visible in the list of 'Scheduled Process'

    As a part of data migration , I am required to invoke an ODI scenario using a java program which in turn is invoked by an ESS job.I'm able to do the same using a standalone application created in my jdeveloper.For incorporating this into the Fusion application I created an ADF Model Project in the hcmEss Application and created a sample javaclass and jobdefinition in the project,similar to what i did in my standalone application.
    I have included my job definition in the MarHcmEss and included the MAR file in the EarHcmEss.Also I have given the jazn security for my job,similar to other visible jobs.Still the job that I created is not visible in the list of jobs in the 'Launch ESS Monitoring UI'
    All this i tested using a deployment of hcmEss and hcmTalent Applications into my standalone weblogic server.Is there anything that i might have missed during the process?.I am new to ESS.
    Thanks,
    Ajin

    I'm facing the same issue.
    Also I'm unable to populate the values from the Resource Bundle in the Localization section of Job Definition.
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • SP 2010-After adding user from IIS is not found in central admin

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to configure my SP 2010 with Form Based Authentication.
    After configuring WebSite, STS and Central Admin I added the user from IIS , But not able to found from central admin in Form Authentication.
    I checked in database the user is added.
    I followed the below blog .
    http://jasear.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/sharepoint-2010-setting-up-form-based-authentication-fba-using-asp-net-sql-membership-provider/
    Can experts help me how to get the added user to central admin.
    Thanks
    AshisK

    I was finally able to get the FBA working. After many failed attempts, I knew there was a configuration issue which was causing the error.
    I provided connection string and provider details at 4 places, instead of the 3 mentioned  in various blogs around ->
    1. Sharepoint Central Admin
    2. Sharepoint Web Services
    3. SecurityTokenServiceApplication
    4. And finally the web application itself.
    The connection string for 2nd and 3rd will remain same however, provider details need to be added.
    After completing this step, I was able to login using Form Based Authentication without an issue.

  • Time Machine Browser not visible

    I am able to do backup using the time machine application. I can see the backup when I click on the drive icons and move through the file flows. The problem is when I select the time machine icon from the dock, It does not display the images that you can scan through the time line on the right side of the screen is not visible. I am very new to Apple and the Mac, this app was working properly when I first installed a usb drive. It worked for a week and then the system failed during a backup. I was able to reset the drive and remove the failed backup. I was able to then do additional backup using this drive and the time machine but the time machine browser does not work. Is there a way to reset the browser, I can not find anything in my searching various forums.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Yay! and you're entirely welcome.
    I have been an OS2 user for many years and of coarse did windows, apple is somewhat different in the way this are done but is very stable machine. I have my MAC now for about three weeks and It just works, no crashes, the mail program never misbehaves, can not say the same for windows and outlook.
    Yes, Macs are pretty good, but they're not perfect (these forums are not empty).
    Do you think I should get an antivirus program, from what I read you really do not need one. My concern is the overhead those type of programs have on system performance.
    No. There are no known OSX viruses, and the few trojans and other malware require your participation in one way or another to load and/or run. (I especially like the ones that are hidden in pirated copies of iWork and other apps -- how appropriate!)
    Some folks, however, worry about passing Windoze viruses amongst their PC friends. In that case, the free clamXav is recommended most here, as being as good as any, and not obtrusive.

  • Create Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections Timer Job does not send notification Email when the Site is created

    Hello Everyone,
    My problem is:
    The Create Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections job does not send a Notification Email when the Eval Site is created. I only get a notification E-Mail that mention that a Upgrade Evaluation Site Colletion is requested and then after 27 Days that the Evla
    Site will be deleted in three Days.
    My Enviroment:
    SharePoint Foundation 2013 Sp1 on Windows Server 2012
    Exchange 2010 SP3
    I hope someone can help.
    best regards
    domschi

    Hi domschi,
    As I understand, you didn’t receive email generated from Create Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections timer job. While you might receive email generated from Delete Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections.
    When you request an evaluation site collection, the request is added to a Timer job
     which runs once a day. You will receive an e-mail message when the upgrade evaluation site is available. This might take up to 24 hours. The message includes a link to the evaluation site. Upgrade evaluation site collections are set to automatically
    expire (after 30 days by default).
    Please go to CA > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions, locate issue timer job and click Run Now. Then go to Job History and check if the issue job failed to run.
    Also, please check if the email are received by Exchange Hub server.

  • CCMS alert monitoring data for ORACLE is not visible in Central system

    Hello,
    I have installed sapccm4x agents in the CI of the Satellite System and it shows in the Central System as sucessfully registered under Agents for remote System and the RFC Connection test is also successfull. When i check in RZ20 in Central System not all the predefined monitors are visible of the Satellite System in the Central System and mainly the MTE element ORACLE. The database,CI and other instances on the Satellite System are installed on separate hardware. As said the database is installed not with the CI but a standalone.
    Please let us know what needs to be configured in order to get the MTE element of ORACLE to show in the Central System.
    Thanks,
    Vinod Meno

    Bhudev,
    Thanks for the quick respose..
    1.Sapccmsr agent is installed on Java standalone server and it has been sucessfully registered and running and we can grep the process to see its state as well as in the Central System i can see under ccms agents for remote systems it shows and the RFC connection test is also sucessfull.
    2.Yes we are sending the data from the DB to CI first,but we also want the data visible in the Central System mainly for the MTE element Oracle.The filesystem of the Satellite Systems shows up in the Central System but i am intrested to capture the MTE element Oracle since we plan to monitor the tablespaces threhold .
    I am thinking of opening an SAP message but i am trying to see if i can get some info that can give me the result.

  • Encrypted Time Machine Drive not visible

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Mini (2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Ram) running OS 10.8.4 and all other OS/application updates have been run.  I have a Drobo (2nd Generation, the one with four drive bays & Firewire) with 3.69TB used and 1.72TB free.  The Drobo has the most up-to-date firmware 1.4.2 as well as the latest Drobo Dashboard software (2.5.2).
    I was using a different NAS to backup my data from the Mini but the housing failed and I'm waiting for Other World Computing to send a new one.  In the mean time, I decided to backup the Mini to the Drobo and Encrypt it.  I believe it went through one complete backup of the Mini (440GBs) overnight.  I also use the Drobo as my main drive for my photos and iTunes library.  I have about 2TBs of music/movies and about 1TBs of photos already stored on the Drobo.  During the day yesterday, during a regularly scheduled Time Machine backup (I believe it backs up every hour), I was in the process of deleting photos off the Drobo and got the dreaded spinning beach ball.  I waited for 1/2 hour but still after no changes, I turned off the Mini and after rebooting the Time Machine drive will not show on the desktop.
    The Drobo is visable in the Drobo Dashboard app and of course it says there are no issues. 
    The Drobo shows up in Disk Utility as a Virtual Whole Disk (in red type) and when running Verify or Repair Disk, it states that "Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk."  I can do this till the cows come home but nothing changes.  The only other info that shows up in red is "Invalid Disk Label @ 17591825289216: invalid field value.  It repeats it four times, I'm assuming once for each drive. The last piece of info is "disk3s2 is not a CoreStorage volume.
    I saw on another thread to run a Terminal command "diskutil cs list" and it came up with the below listed info.

    Are there any utilities that can help "uncorrupt" the volume so I can rescue my data?
    The only thing you can do is destroy the Core Storage logical volume, which will remove all data. If there is anything other than backup data on it, you're in a recovery situation, which is a job for professionals.
    You should immediately start a new backup on another storage device. Don't do anything else with the computer until that's done.

  • Time Machine backups not visible

    I've got a problem where Time Machine does backups like it should, but when I enter into Time Machine to view my backups, none of them are visible. Its a bit odd... in Time Machine I see bars on the right (indicating the backups) but there are no dates listed next to the bars (apart from the one at the bottom that says "Now"). If I move my mouse over the bars, they expand to indicate that I'm selecting them, but clicking has no effect.
    I have seen this notice from Apple regarding the problem:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1760?viewlocale=en_US
    When I first set things up, I had spaces in my computer's name... but Time Machine worked back then. At some point I changed the computer name to a name that did not have spaces and contained only characters that were with Apple's designated list. I've never gone into Time Machine to view backups since I've done that until yesterday, so I don't know when my problem started happening.
    I've tried renaming my computer name back to the original name (with the spaces) just to see if the backups would show up again. No luck. I've now renamed my computer back to a name with no spaces to fall under Apple's guidelines. Still no luck.
    One thing that is interesting is that I can manually mount the sparsebundle image and see all of the backups and the files that are in there. It does indeed look like the backup part is working.
    I've run Disk Utility's repair on both the external drive and the disk image and they seem to be in good shape.
    I'm considering just reformatting my drive and starting the backups all over from scratch, but this seems to be a drastic approach. Further, it lowers my confidence in relying on Time Machine. Any suggestions on how I might fix this?

    I have a similar problem, my computer name has non ASCII characters, the backups are there but don't show up when I time travel. I need to get some files from one of the backups, so I can't just reformat and begin again, but your message makes it seem that changing my computer name to a valid name won't allow me to access the backups that were made with the invalid name.
    It would be nice if the Apple document you reference would give some help to solve the problem rather than just tell us what we did wrong.
    Surely there is a way to access the backups that are on the drive.

  • Airport Extreme working but not visible in Airport Admin Utility

    Recently my Airport Extreme (spaceship version) stopped showing up in the Airport Admin Utility v4.2.
    The internet works fine computers can connect wirelessly or wired to the Airport Extreme and use the internet. AppleTV isn't visible in iTunes anymore either so it can't sync but can connect to the internet to see previews, YouTube, etc.
    I have tried removing Airport Admin Utility and reinstalling, checked permissions, all okay.
    Any ideas?

    Ah - more clues always help!
    In that case, I tend to agree with your assessment. For some reason, the Bonjour automatic network device discovery process seems not to be working properly on this Mac. I'm not going to be of much help in troubleshooting that problem.
    The only other issue I have encountered is with the installation of excessively robust firewall software on the Mac blocking Bonjour's ability to discover network devices. VPN client software is sometimes also a culprit, for the same reasons. You have already indicated this could not possibly be the cause of your problems.
