Timer Job job-create-upgrade-eval-sites is running last 3 days

Hi,
I have done share point 2013 upgrade .Portal is running with fully functional SP2010 site collation,on SP2013 server.
Before doing site collection upgrade, I wanted to create a Demo Site (Evaluation site), so I can verify that everything is working fine in SP2013 mode.
I started the creation process of Demo Site try Site Upgrade page by powershell command because my portal is more than 300 GB space,so by wizard we can not proceed
Request-SPUpgradeEvaluationSite http://server/sitecollection
After that I started timer job named "Create Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections job " on that web application. This time job ruining contentiously from last 2 days,three days has passed since than, and demo site collection hasn't been
created.
I tried to check status, using Get-SPSiteUpgradeSessionInfo command, but it has return nothing. I tried using Site and Database switch, but nothing.I checked the database server and got db is just double of existing DB now with same .snp file.
Again I try to execute request command, it said that it is still working.
My question is either how to stop this demo creation and release the database, and start the permanent upgrade, or how to find some status or some info in log files that could point me in some direction, that could help me to create demo site.
Again today i had stop and start the same Timer job.. still running

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.

Is there a way to create a smart playlist that lists my top 25 plays from a specific time period (i.e. - top plays from the last 90 days)?

Is it possible to create an itunes smart playlist that lists my top 25 most played songs in a specific time period (i.e. - the last 90 days)? It seems that any "most played" list I create counts every spin a track has had in it's history of being in my library.

The challenge is is not to determine which of the tracks that have been played in the last X days has been played most since the beginning of time, but which have been played most in the last X days. iTunes can do the first one but it simply doesn't have the power to do the second.

Workflow Timer Job Is Stuck( 0% Progress and Running Continuously )

We are facing strange issue in sandbox. Workflow timer job in central admin (CA) is getting stuck.workflow time interval is 2 minutes.
It supposes to run for every two minutes. But it stuck after the start. It is not resume (or) complete the job. It is showing 0% progress and running status.
We need to restart the SharePoint2010 Timer Service to restart the timer job.
When we restart the “SharePoint 2010 Timer”, Workflow timer job gets re started. But again it is stuck.
So whenever we need to run workflows I need to restart the “SharePoint 2010 Timer” service.
I have re created my site collection and delete the local list (which has workflow association).
But Workflow timer job in CA not resumed (or) completed.
Are there any options to reset the workflow timer job? Is there any way to clear state of workflow timer job?

i have got same problem in my SharePoint Server
for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import,
Config Refresh
workflow
so i have read most of notes.
Clearing the cache is the best resolving part for this.
To resolve this issue, clear the file system cache on all servers in the server farm on which the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service is running. To do this, follow these steps:
Stop the
Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010 Timer services, and then clicks Stop.
Close the Services console.
Navigate to the directory:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config
\GUID.
Backup the GUID folder
Back up the Cache.ini file. (Make a copy of it. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE, Only the XML files in the next step)
Delete all the XML configuration files in the GUID folder (DO NOTE DELETE
THE FOLDER). Do this so that you can verify that the GUID folders content is replaced by new XML configuration files when the cache is rebuilt. Note when you empty the configuration cache in the GUID folder; make sure that you do NOT delete
the GUID folder and the Cache.ini file that is located in the GUID folder.
Double-click the Cache.ini file.
On the Edit menu, click Select All.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
Type 1, and then click Save on the File menu. (Basically when you are done, the only text in the config.ini
file should be the number 1)
On the File menu, click Exit.
Start the Timer service. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
Right-click SharePoint 2010
Timer, and then click Start.
Close the Services console.
Note The file system cache is re-created after you perform this procedure. Make sure that you perform this procedure on all servers in the server farm.
Make sure that the Cache.ini file in the GUID folder now contains its previous value. For example, make sure that the value of the Cache.ini file is not
1.
Check in the GUID folder to make sure that the xml files are repopulating. This may take a bit of time.

Need to create at BEX Query to get last 30 days data.

Hi,
I need to create a bex query based on input date need to calculate last 30 days outstanding and 31-60 days outstanding 61-90 days outstanding 91-180 days outstanding and greater than 180 days outstanding. Please find the format of the report.Kindly help me.
Thanks & Regards,

Based on those documents you can easily create.
1. First create variable (Mandatory) user input
2. Posting date is avaialble as char you will get
3. need to calcualte difference b/w those 2 dates you can refer below By using replacement path we can convert both dates into get difference.

4. now need to create Bucketing logic formula as per requirement above documents will give idea.

My iPod Nano Sixth Gen keeps pausing randomly and the screen keeps coming on at random times. It has only started doing this the last 2 days. Tried resetting, unplugging headphones

My iPod Nano 6th Gen keeps pausing. It does this sometimes immediately. Sometimes when the screen goes dark. Sometimes after like 15 minutes.
The screen keeps going off and on at random too.
I tried resetting the settings, resetting with the buttons, searching for additional updates, unplugging the headphone and replugging it TIGHT, and new headphones.
Not only is this annoying, but the power is draining MUCH quicker between the screen coming on and having to turn it on to restart it.

If a restore of the Nano in iTunes to factory settings does not resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related, meaning you should take or send your iPod in for service.

InfoPath Forms Services Form Upgrade timer job continuously failing

Hello all,
We've recently uploaded several InfoPath form templates to our production SharePoint 2010 environment (6 server farm). One of the forms
was still stuck in 'upgrading' (even after it said successful after the upload). So we deleted that form and re -uploaded it successfully.
Since then we've been seeing the following timer job failures every minute. The forms all work but the timer job failures still keep
coming.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Administration.FormsUpgradeJobDefinition (ID 6904b095-822d-4158-9572-f6b3fe8d4265)
threw an exception. More information is included below.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We saw this
http://gpkarnik.wordpress.com/ looks hopeful, but we are reluctant to proceed when we read this article
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nishants/archive/2008/10/10/how-to-delete-orphan-configuration-objects-from-sharepoint-farm.aspx
We have done the following:
Reset timer service on all servers (same job just moves to a different server failing)
removed the suspect InfoPath form and re uploaded (no change)
All servers in the farm rebooted (no change)
Questions:
Can we just get rid of the failing InfoPath Forms Services Form Upgrade?
Will a new one get created the next time we upgrade a form?
Thank you,
Jim

Hi Jim,
When you upload an administrator-approved InfoPath form template to SharePoint, SharePoint automatically creates a Solution Package for it as well as a Timer Job. When a solution package is deployed in a farm, it will be restored in 14 hives.
Timer jobs are scheduled for execution, but sometimes it can take a long while before a SharePoint timer job gets executed. The timer job created by SharePoint would have a Title similar to Windows SharePoint Services Solution Deployment for “form-[your_uploaded_form_template_name].wsp”.
The Schedule Type for this timer job would be One-time.
If you want to hurry the execution of administrative timer jobs along, you can use the following stsadm command:
stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs

Create Timer Jobs dynamically using code (on the fly)

What I am trying to accomplish here is different from the usual "Create and deploy a new custom timer job". So please co operate.
Scenario : I have around 200 lists in my site. Each list gets its data from a third part web service (cutom code / not BCS). The data retrieval happens via Timer Jobs. The Timer Jobs call the web service, gets the fresh data and updates the
list items. This is currently working fine with multiple lists and 1 timer job to refresh the data.
Problem : Now the issue I am facing is, each of the lists have its own Refresh Frequency. Say List 1 to 30 needs to be refreshed every 5 mins. List 31 to 60 every 10 mins, etc. I am currently handling this by having a RefreshLastRun timestamp.
This works fine in most of the scenarios - unless the Web service returns large data, in which case it takes more than 5 to 10 mins for the Update to complete on 4 to 5 lists. At the same time, the other lists - they were supposed to be updated 5 mins ago,
but are still waiting to get updated because the timer job is busy updating another list, and the refresh is in Que. This is a completely unaccepatable solution to my client because the list with lower frequency duration (5 mins) is of a higher priority than
the lists getting refreshed every 10 mins.
My Question is : How do I create a new Timer Job for each list? Whenever I add a new list (through code), I want to create a Timer Job at the same time, which will take care of refreshing the data in this and this list only. This way, I will
have a independent Timer Job for each list and dont have to depend on 1 timer job to take all the load. With this approach I will have 200 timer jobs running. Which is OK with my client. So I create one class inhereting from SPJobDefinition class, and
use it repeatedly to create unlimted timer jobs?
I hope I am able to convey the message. My Timer Jobs are working fine. I dont need suggestions on how to get the timer job working etc. My question is, how do I create a new Job Definition dynamically through code (no deployment).
Hanif

I'm afraid this leads to a path where you create a single timer job (or windows service) that uses parallel programming (tpl) to handle all the lists. However, that places a huge burden on you to manage schedules, monitoring etc., something the timer job
framework handles for you.

Why we are using event receivers in creating timer jobs?

Hi All,
Why we are using event receivers in creating timer jobs?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Suppose you are creating a custom timer job following the steps which are similar as what this demo provides:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/403323/SharePoint-Create-Custom-Timer-Jobs
In this demo, an Event Receiver is created for installing the Job Definition when we deploy the solution or uninstalling it when we extract this solution.
Here, the Event Receiver listens to the FeatureActivated evetn and the FeatureDeactivating event, which corresponding to the timing of activating and deactivating the feature
of this solution, it just like a switch during the life cycle of a solution in a SharePoint site collection which will make us easier to manage the features coming with a solution package.

Is there a way to create dependency on the real-time jobs

Hi,
We have around 80 real-time services running and loading the changed data into the target.
The process being used is
IBM Informix > IBM CDC > JMS (xml messages) > DS real-time services > Oracle EDW.
While using the above process, when ever there is change in the fact table and the dimension table, both the real-time services are loading the data at the same time into the target. This is causing issues in looking up data with the timing issue.
Is there a way where we can create a dependency and resolve the timing issue and make sure the lookup table is loaded and then the master table is loaded?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
C

Hello
With the design you curently have, you will have potential sequencing issues. There is no magic in Data Services to solve this.
You might want to consider building more complex real-time jobs that accept more complex data structures and have logic to process the data in dependency order.

SharePoint 2013 My Site Cleanup Timer Job

Is the My Site Cleanup Timer Job responsible for deleting the User Profile or just the Mysite or both?
Are Profiles deleted after 14 days or is it some other number.
Is there any action that would extend this time frame
I am not able to find any 2013 specific articles on this nut there are many on 2010, is everything still handled the same way?

Hi，
The My Site Cleanup Job is responsible for deleting user profiles and My Sites of those users. This includes the following activities:
Remove user profiles that are queued for deletion.
If those users have a My Site, Email the manager letting them know that the user’s My Site will be deleted in 14 days.
11 days after the first notification, email the manager again letting them know that the My Site will be deleted in 3 days.
After a total of 14 days, delete the MySite.
Run the "My Site Cleanup" Timer job and check if the user profile that is marked as disable in FIM is deleted.(An important point to note is that this job
requires a My Site Host to be configured on the UPA, even if you are not using My Sites. )
If the My Site Cleanup Timer Job is disabled, we can clean up deleted users by the follwoing powershell:
Set-SPProfileServiceApplication $upa –PurgeNonImportedObjects $true
For more information about mysite clean up time job, refer to the followng articles:

Creating FBA user from the timer job

Hi,
I'm trying to create FBA users from the timer job,
The code to it:
MembershipCreateStatus createStatus;
MembershipUser user = Membership.CreateUser(strUserID, strPassword, strEmail, "Test Question", "Test Answer", true, out createStatus);
switch (createStatus)
case MembershipCreateStatus.Success:
//SendMail
break;
case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateEmail:
//Log in to the error file
break;
But it throws the error:
Unable to connect to SQL Server database in the timer job
Regards,
Sachin

timer job has its own app.config, which is completely separate from the web.config
plus, this is a terrible idea.
