TIMER JOB STATUS INITIALIZED STUCK AT 0%; NO ALERTS SENDING

I have read every article on the msdn site for this issue. I have followed the instructions from many sites in the order dictated.
I have run the various commands to check that the alerts are enabled, etc; all are enabled.

I have checked the eventcache table in the content database, and it is has over 1000 entries where not null.
Now at a loss as to why this is not changing at all. And the timer job is still stuck at 0%
Appreciate any other ideas that I've overlooked. Thanks.

Okay, the culprit was Sophos Web Intelligence on the server. We have a SP 2007 environment. Simply disabling it does not work. It has ot be removed. All version of Sophos 10 are preventing the alerts and emails form being sent out.
Now th ealerts are playing catch up. I'm getting alerts which are over 2 weeks old.

The work around solution given by Microsoft was not enough for us. Maybe it will work for others. Here is the link:

The image itself has the answer
The user requests a page, and the action gets picked up by the Web Analytics service that runs on SharePoint.
The Web Analytics service logs this in the “.usage” files.
A Timer job called “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import” by default runs every 30 minutes. It imports the logs into the staging database.
Each night the “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing” Timer job runs and transforms the data into the reporting database.
The last run time of the import from staging and the aggregation is logged in the Settings table in the Reporting database.
Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application collects Data about Usage and Health of your farm.
This information is used for Health Monitoring and this is also required for running the Web Analytics Service. If you do not have a Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application or your
Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy is stopped, you will not see any data in the Web Analytics Report

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

Audit Log Trimming Timer Job stuck at "pausing" status

Hi,
We have a SharePoint 2010 farm and our Audit table is growing rapidly. I checked our "Audit log Trimming" timer job and it has been stuck at "pausing" status for more than a month. Any advice to resolve this issue would be great.
Thanks,
norasampang

Hi Trevor,
Do you think the reason that the time job is failing is because the audit log table is big and the audit timer jod times out. I saw your reply here at this
post
where you have mentioned "
It may be timing out. Have you executed it manually to see if it runs without errors?
Can you please explain in more detail what you meant by that. I was thinking of trying to trim the Audit log using this script in small batch. Can you please let me know if this script seems right?
$site = Get-SPSite -Identity http://sharepointsite.com
$date = Get-Date
$date = $date.AddDays(-1021)
$site.Audit.DeleteEntries($date)
At first i would like to delete all datas that are older than 1021 days old and eventually get rid of the other logs in smaller chunks. Any advice and suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
norasampang

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.

All timer jobs don't start (paused in check job status)

Hello,
Some bad things have happend to our SharePoint Server 2010. All timer jobs suddenly stopped running. The last time they ran successfully was 09/26/11. Since that time all jobs have been scheduled to run according to their schedule but don't actually run.
In the Check Job Status view there is a list of jobs scheduled to run 09/26/11 which are currently paused for some reasons, other jobs don't run at all.
Is it possible to unpause these jobs and let other jobs to run? Any ideas would be very much apprecaited. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
Pausable Timer Jobs
You can now create pausable timer jobs. This is done by inheriting from the
SPPausableJobDefinition and overriding Execute(SPJobState) instead of
Execute(Guid). You can then use the current job state (SPJobState) to store values which are retrieved when the job is resumed.
Running jobs on all content databases
Another new timer job derivative type is the SPContentDatabaseJobDefinition.This is a timer job specifically made to perform actions on content databases. The timer job is distributed on the WFE servers and each content database is only
processed by one job. Override the Execute(SPContentDatabase, SPJobState) to add your own processing. The job supports pausing.
Running jobs on all Site Collections
A really interesting new timer job type is the SPAllSitesJobDefinition. This one is derived from the SPContentDatabaseJobDefinition and has a method called
ProcessSite(SPSite, SPJobState) which you override to process the SPSite object. This could be very useful to build site inventories/directories.
Running job on a specific server
The SPServerJobDefinition is a pausable timer job that is designed to be targeted to a specific server (SPServer).
Running jobs for specific services
The SPServiceJobDefinition is another pausable timer job that runs a job on all servers where a specific
SPService has been provisioned. A very similar job is the
SPFirstAvailableServiceJobDefinition which runs the job on the first available server which has a specific SPService installed. If you would like to run a job an all servers you can easily use SPServiceJobDefinition. Then use the timer job service
(which is installed on all servers, except dedicated database servers) and pass
SPFarm.Local.TimerService as the SPService parameter in the constructor.
All of the new specific timer jobs are essentially smart derivatives of the SPJobDefinition but using these new abstract classes will certainly save you some time when you need to target your timer jobs.
I hope that helps.

How much time it takes for a job status to get updated in to TBTCO table?

Hi all,
We have a program that fetches the Job count and job name from a third party tool(UC4) and then searches for the status of the job in the TBTCO table.
In some rare cases we found that the TBTCO table had not updated with the Job details when the call was made to it.
Do we have any SAP scheduler settings which determines after a particular time the status gets refreshed in the TBTCO table once the job is triggered?

hi may be checking Sy-subrc and using wait for X seconds should be a convenient way to code.
I doubt if there is any schedule to update the table..

Tidal Enterprise Scheduler - Get Job status using c#

Is it possible to get the list of jobs scheduled and their status in Tidal Enterprise scheduler using a programming language like C# ?

API depends on your version and you need to have the client installed from Server/DEsktop initiating the API
the PDF document should have been included on you CD2 called Command Line Program Guide
I will use 5.3.1 as an example:
open a command prompt
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\TIDAL\Scheduler\client
type in set alias=DEV > example=DEV otherwise it defaults to Admiral
type in SACMD
type HOST I always type in HOST so I can verify what master I am running against (nio need if only one connection)
type in jobmon with your options I included below from doc
[-d date] +display_options [filtering_options] [-b]
It may be of limited use in 5.3.1 because to isolate you need to know Job ID or Alias or some other filter critiera... Job ID is in database jobmst.dbo.jobmst_id which is the unique identified and can be different from alias... depending on your requirements (dashboard?) and how you have organized your jobs a SQL query would be the better option.

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

Check The Job Status

Hi SAPsimhas,
My requirement is as below.
I will loop through an internal table and create some files with background processing method.(JOB_OPEN,SUBMIT & JOB_CLOSE)
Now once this job is triggered I need to check the status for that job after maximum 10 mins. Its not neccessary that each job will take 10 mins. only,It can be finished in 2 mins also.
Once the job is finished then I will XCOM that file.
So my question is how to code such timer which will check the job status for that job? I have a FM BP_JOB_READ which returns the job status.
Reply is highly appriciated.

Try this way
do.
    call function 'SHOW_JOBSTATE'
      exporting
        jobcount         = p_jobc
        jobname          = p_jobn
      importing
        aborted          = v_aborted
        finished         = v_finished
        ready            = v_ready
        running          = v_running
        scheduled        = v_scheduled
      exceptions
        jobcount_missing = 1
        jobname_missing = 2
        job_notex        = 3
        others           = 4.
    if v_aborted eq 'X'.
      exit.
    endif.
    if v_finished eq 'X'.
      select single * from tbtcp into wa_tbtcp1
                 where jobname eq p_jobn
                   and jobcount eq p_jobc.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        move wa_tbtcp1-listident to p_spono.
      endif.
      exit.
    endif.
    if v_count le 10.
      call function 'ENQUE_SLEEP'

      v_count = v_count + 1.

Is there a relationship between InfoPath and the "Solution Approval" and "Solution Unpublish" timer jobs?

One of our developers has a test SP 2010, service pack 2 system. Against it, he is testing form library InfoPath 2010 applications that he is developing.
There are, over the 2 months he has been working, an increasing number of times that the machine becomes so slow as to be unusable. For instance, in his attempt to publish an updated form this morning, the publish time was about 2 hours.
I see nothing obvious in the event log.
However, in the 5.7 million line 14 hive log, there are 5.6 million lines of the form:
Solution Deployment : Deleting directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Template\Features\FT-01-6d499aed-f899-c88e-5f7e-8dad243ccaf1\solution.xsn.1.0.0.1018.1.0.0.735. Delete if not empty. ae8f490c-f1bf-4f25-92aa-6fc8e0de7de5
When I look in the Features subfolder, there are over 13k of folders containing a solutions.xsn and a DLL with the name of the application.
These folders date back to when the work began.
When I look at timer job history , all I see are status of Succeeded.
But I do notice that every minute a series of 6 Solution Approval and 6 Solution Unpublish timer jobs run.
Since the timer says to run every minute, I suspect that something is wrong with the jobs.
This being a test machine, there is no reason to have 13k of old copies of the form and dll. He is not going back to one of those as far as I am aware.
Is there some action that he should be taking that should be "cleaning up" this situation?
Is there something that a SP admin could do to clean things up so that things no longer take so long to run and create such large log files?
Thanks for your ideas.
