Xgrid agents fail Maya rendering jobs

Hello,
We are a college and have setup an xGrid for students to submit Autodesk Maya 2008
rendering jobs to the xGrid for processing Maya .mb animation projects.
Our xGrid runs perfectly we can submit simple jobs and it works perfectly.
We are using the GUI Xgrid Feeder Sample app included in the Xcode SDK to submit jobs using a Autodesk Maya command called "Render" (plus some options for the command added using the Feeder app GUI)
Xgrid is correctly feeding the agents, but all the agents immediately fail the jobs. I have included the xGrid console output for one of the agents below:
The first job fails (maya command)
The second one works (simple bash command)
Thu Apr 2 15:36:45 W87301MXXAH.local xgridagentd[23064] <Notice>: Notice: agent task "23109" failed for user "nobody" executable "/Applications/Autodesk/maya2008/Maya.app/Contents/bin/Render" arguments (

Does anyone have any idea why the maya jobs are failing?
Could it be permissions problems for the nobody user, and how would I change those?
Cheers

Are you using an AFP, SMB, or NFS network share? Logged on as which user?
I've had good success with AFP shares logged in as the local admin, and using RUSH for maya rendering (set to render as local admin). NFS should work better for permissions if you need to render as different users.

1 out of 15 xgrid agents are working

Hello,
I've got a Xgrid cluster setup with 15 computers (30 processors) and I've got Podcast Producer setup. Everything works fine except when I submit a video through Podcast Capture, Xgrid doesn't split the job between more than 1 agent, however when the job starts, each agent seems to do something then stops.
My Workflow does the following:
Archive
Encode h264
Publish to group's blog
Send email to group's mailing list
Is there a settings I need to enter to have Xgrid spread the encoding job across my cluster?
Thank you!

Xgrid doesn't split up the video like compressor does when using a distributed cluster. Xgrid takes each task and sends it to a core. If there are four task in parallel then xgrid will assign each task to a different core. Where xgrid becomes efficient is when there are lots of jobs to be processed at the same time. If you have 30 different podcasts, then xgrid will send each task from each podcast to a different core. Also you need to have the shared file system mounted on all of the computers in the grid.
A photo I saw on Apple site about Snow Leopard, Podcast Producer will allow you to make a choice of using Xgrid or Compressor for encoding.

The distribution agent failed to create temporary files in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\COM' directory. System returned errorcode 5.

One of my replication job failed with below error, which means job failed because of permission issue on the folder. To resolve that, I have granted the permission and it started working fine. Now the question is as my job was running fine since long time
without any issue then how suddenly the permission of the folder got omitted automatically? I am sure that no one deleted the permission from the folder and as the server is part of SQL cluster no failover occurs.
Error:-The distribution agent failed to create temporary files in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\COM' directory. System returned errorcode 5.
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Error code 5 indicates that the error is "access is denied." Please make sure that the COM folder is excluded from any antivirus scan that occurs on the system.
If the issue still persists, I recommend you use
Process Monitor to find out a bit more about the accounts and access requests involved. Then grant write permission to the exact COM folder for the account that is running the SQL Server Agent service. For more details, please review the following similar
thread.

Distribution agent failed to create temporary files in

Hello,
we are configured transnational replication in sql server 2005 location, all replication jobs are running fine,
while we checking sql server errorlog showing below error :
Distribution agent failed to create temporary files in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\COM' directory. System returned errorcode 5.
NOte: normally we are configured replication 2005 [90] , but while see the above error it shows [100] comparability level .

Hi,
If the account that is running SQL Server Agent does not have write access to the COM folder, the Distribution Agent will fail
when it is running as a job. If you run the Distribution Agent from a command line by using an account that does not have write access to the COM folder, the same failure will occur.
To work around this
issue, grant write permissions to the COM folder for the account that is running the SQL Server Agent service. If you run the Distribution Agent from a command line, grant write permissions to the COM folder for the account that you use to run the Distribution
Agent.

Accessing execution agent failed

Hi!
I'm using Oracle 10g XE on linux. When I want execute any scheduler jobs get everytime the following error message:
ORA-27370: job slave failed to launch a job of type EXECUTABLE
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:accessing execution agent failed with status: 2
ORA-27301: OS failure message: No such file or directory
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sjsec 3
The user privileges and owner of the extjob is set correctly.
The script runs on other servers without errors (on LINUX and WINDOWS too, but on 10g Enterprise Ed.).
This error seems to be the 'OracleJobScheduler service not runnig' in case of Windows, but here is no service. I could generate this problem by hand with renaming the extjob file in a goodworking system.
Could anyone help me in this problem? Why can't the oracle process see the extjob file?
Thanks for help
nmsAkos

Hi,
What schema are you running the jobs in ?
In the SYS schema, the Scheduler uses the extjobo executable to execute jobs but I think on XE this executable might be missing so jobs in the SYS schema would be expected to throw this error.
You could fix this by simply doing something like
cp extjob extjobo
chmod 0755 extjobo
Or you could grant create job (and possibly create external job) to a regular user and have the user create the external job. I believe that in XE by default extjob is not setuid so all jobs would run as the oracle user. This may have security implications.
If this doesn't help could you say what schema you are running the jobs in and give the output of "ls -l extjob*" in the oracle bin directory.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Agents failing when sent as attachments (pdf or excel) in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
We have issue agents failing with following error when set up with attachment (pdf or excel only) either as Dashboard or Report. If the same agent is run as inline then the agent is working fine. OBIEE version is 11.1.1.6.0 unclustered.
[nQSError: 77006] Oracle BI Presentation Server Error: A fatal error occurred while processing the request. The server responded with: A fatal error occurred while processing the request. The server responded with: java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified.

We tried logging in as user/Administrator and running the report from catalog without any error. Also strangely this is evident in only a specific environment. Not sure what is causing the issue.
Please advise.
Thanks

What is the size of the attachments of reports you are trying to send thru Agents .? either PDF or EXCEL ?
What does you JavaHost log .?
I think this is a same Bug 14680611 : ERROR CODES: AGEGTYVF RUNNING AGENTS WITH LARGE REPORT AS EXCEL ATTACHMENT
If your are not able to download even smaller attachments/reports then, I would raise an SR with Oracle.
Let us know. Hope this Helps.!

Why call between WebClient agents fails?

Hi,
I have just recently installed the mySAP CRM 4.0 IC WebClient (CRM40 SP00).
I have been testing the installation with CCS (Contact Center Simulator) and for a basic CCS supported tests (Inbound Phone call, Outbound Phone call, Chat) everything seems to be ok, but a call between WebClient agents fails due to an java error. The Phone Call between WebClients which should work according the CCS webpage.
What should I do to get WebClient agents to call each others? Any configuration or customization tips? Note that I do not have CC integration in place, just the IC WebClients.
Here is the test done in details and the error reported by WebClient:
0) I restarted SAP CRM to be sure no pending sessions exists
1) Open the CCS to see that no agents are logged in with WebClient
2) Login as java_ic with WebClient
3) CCS shows java_ic Workmode (=status) as 'Not Ready'
4) Switch java_ic to ready by from the WebClient
5) CCS shows java_ic Workmode (=status) as 'Ready'
Then I do the same for agent 'sap*' with another MSIE browser window. At this point, the CCS shows Workmode for both agents as 'Ready' and I have two WebClient browsers opened. I also verify that both has Phone selected from the channel selector in the WebClient.
6) With java_ic agent, I press the Dial Pad, enter the sap* agent phone
number (Phone: +15550002; shown in the CCS for both agents logged in) and then I press the Dial button on Dial Pad to call to +15550002.
6.1) After pressing the Dial button, the WebClient displays a pop-up in
the middle of the screen with info: "Your request is being processed." After this there is an Info message under the buttons in the WebClient for java_ic saying: "No account information found".
7) Java_ic WebClient shows that it's doing an outbound call and is 'Dialing' state.
8) sap* WebClient window has blinking button with labels 'Accept' and 'Reject'. So, it clearly got an notification of the Inbound Phone call coming from java_ic. But there is also an error message under the buttons in the same WebClient webbrowser screen (not in the JavaConsole, not in separate alert message this time) for sap*:
"Java error: type= APPLICATION ERROR, ID= GETIAD_FAILED, description=".
9) With sap* WebClient I cannot answer or reject the call. Nothing happens. The browser Status Bar says: javascript:void(0) when I press the Accept button.
10) At this situation, the CCS shows that the agents's sap* Workmode is
switched from the previous 'Ready' state to 'Not Ready' automatically (while the sap* WebClient status is still in Ready). So, the sap* automatically, due to the error, changed the status to 'Not Ready'.
11) java_ic remain on 'Dialing' status for all the time trying to get connected with sap*.
I got informed that the call between WebClient COULD BE seen as a "call transfer" between clients by the CRM system. This might be something to do with the problem in calling between WebClients.
Because the java_ic reports: "No account information found" when placing the Outbound Phone call, one could assume that account details should be passed along with the call transfer. Possibly sap* cannot receive the
inbound phone call due to a missing account information thus reporting java error: "Java error: type= APPLICATION ERROR, ID= GETIAD_FAILED, description=".
Best Regards,
Jani

Automatic windows agent fail over in SCOM 2012 / 2012 R2

Hi All,
I have a question with respect to SCOM 2012 / 2012 R2 windows agent fail over.
For example i have only 400 windows agents and i have 2 MS in my environment. So 200 windows agents are managed by MS1 and the rest 200 are managed by the MS2.
What i want to know is if either of the MS (MS1 or MS2) Shutdown / restart or any thing happens to them, Do the agents automatically fail over to the other MS ? As i have not configured ant thing for this as i don't know.
So is there any configuration to be done for the above to happen after the deployment of both the management servers is done before discovering the agents or does it automatically understand take the rest 200 agents thinking that the other MS is down ?

This happens automagically for Windows agents within a domain that are assigned to a Management Server. For other scenarios, such as Gateways, the Gateways should be configured for failover between Management Servers, and the agents attached to those
Gateways should be configured to failover between the Gateways. Cross platform agents report to a resource pool, so that happens automagically as well.
To confirm your scenario, simply run the Get-SCOMAgent cmdlet.
To test you can do the following, assuming first agent in the array isn't a Management Server/Gateway :)
$SCOMAgents = get-scomagent
$SCOMAgents[0].PrimaryManagementServerName
$SCOMAgents[0].GetFailoverManagementServers()

Mirror agent & failed logout-- HELP!

There are a lot of other discussions on this topic, and many people seem to be familiar with the mirror agent failing to quit and freezing up the logout process, but I have been researching these discussions and the only one that had any tips was so specifically for people who understand macs in depth that I couldn't figure out what they were talking about.
I have been having this mirror agent & failed logout issue for a really long time and I don't know how to fix it.
And I don't understand when people just say "oh go to the whatever utility and take the tilda out of the library address" blah blah blah... I have no idea. :o)
I see in the other discussions that this may be related to .Mac (I do have a .Mac account) or iDisk (I do use idisk, and have already changed the syncing preferences off of automatic) or something about mobile accounts... i don't really know what that is.
logout is not the only time my powerbook is freezing up lately, and it's getting worse. I can no longer use Word without everything freezing up.
Please please help! Don't be afraid to sound patronizing. I literally know nothing about the inner machinations of computers. I have tried a few other things based on other support discussions, but the problem still persists.
THANKS!!!

I've been having serious beach balls and I think it;s related ti iTunes but I noticed this post by TaosMouse and though ]t I 'd give it a try / let us know if it works .

Mirror Agent can turn into your worst nightmare if your connection is intermittent. It will lock up the entire computer until it finishes what it was trying to do.
This was annoying before, but it has become astoundingly un Mac like since .mac expanded to 10 gigs. Now you can wait 5 minutes if you have a problem. I know this because my wireless link (fixed wireless) someimes gets flaky, and I basically have to do situps until I can use my mac again.
So.... Here's what you do: Go to System preferences -> .mac ->iDisk and click STOP under iDisk Synching On. That should do it, but you will no longer have a local copy of your iDisk to work with.

TimesTen 7.0.6.9: Replication Agent fails with Error 17029 and 8191

The replication agent failed to start with error 17029 and 8191.
/etc/hosts look like:
1.1.1.1 server1.tt.com server1 => `hostname` returns this
2.2.2.2 server1-2.tt.com server1-2
SQL statement to create a replication schema looks like:
CREATE REPLICATION AAA.R1
MASTER dsn1 on server1-2
SUBSCRIBER dsn2 on server2
STORE dsn1 on "server1-2" PORT 17013
STORE dsn2 on "server2" PORT 17013;
call ttRepStart();
call ttRamPolicySet('always');
call ttRepPolicySet('always');
quit
This fails with
17029: This store (dsn1 on server1.tt.com) is not involved as a local store in replication scheme AAA.R1
8191: This store (dsn1 on server1.tt.com) is not involved in a replication scheme
In addition, replication files are created with dsn1 as a prefix.
I added ttHostNameSet('server1-2'); before ttRepStart(), but it did not seem to take effect. I also tried ROUTE statement; however, the error did not disappear.
How can I make this work?

Yes you have to specify the hostname output in the replication DDL.
This is what you can find in the replication Doc
"When specifying the host for a data store in a replication element, you should always use the name returned by the hostname command, as replication uses the this same host name to verify that the current host is involved in the replication scheme. Replication schemes may not be created that do not include the current host.
If a host contains multiple network interfaces (with different IP addresses), you should specify which interfaces are to be used by replication using the ROUTE clause. You must specify a priority for each interface. Replication tries to first connect using the address with the highest priority."

Try changing the SQL Server agent service account to Local System or by the same account you are using to
start the SQL Server service account. The following article for changing SQL Server service account may help you, since it is a similar procedure.
