XLreporter scheduled tasks stopped running

Hi Experts,
We are experiencing problems on XLreporter scheduled tasks.
They worked properly with sending emails as daily routine. However for some reason they stopped running in windows Task Scheduler. We can still run the jobs thru manually in XLreporter Organizer with correct result and sucessful logs. In the mean time the service of Task Scheduler is ok for other tasks than XLreporter.
What we can see in Event Viewer is the error message with two other information message below for each run:
Error:
The VB Application identified by the event source logged this Application IXExecutor: Thread ID: 5904 ,Logged: An error occured while Initializing Job
Object variable or With block variable not set
Info:
The VB Application identified by the event source logged this Application IXExecutor: Thread ID: 5904 ,Logged: Before deleting mclsIFDSApp
Info:

The SBO version 8.8 PL14 on windows server 2003 R2 SP2 ,SQL Server 2005
Can you please advise? Many thanks Ryan

Just found this one too:
Note 855021
If you want scheduled report jobs in XL Reporter to be executed independently of the logon status of the user who defined the job, you must allow Microsoft Excel to be started by the scheduled job.
1. Choose Run from the Windows Start menu and type dcomcnfg.exe. A window called Component Services appears. Choose Component Services->Computers->My Computer->DCOM Config->Microsoft Excel Application from the list.
2. Right-click on Microsoft Excel and choose Properties. Choose the Security tab.
3. Choose Customize under Access Permissions and choose Edit...
4. Choose Add... and choose Users and/or User Groups that require access to Excel. Then choose OK.
5. Repeat the procedure for Customize under Launch Permissions.
6. Choose the Identity tab.
Choose This User.
Choose a user that is a member of the administrator group from the browse button and enter password.
This user will be the one that is given access to Microsoft Excel when executing scheduled jobs. Normally this would be the Administrator user.

OIM Scheduled tasks stop running

Hi All,
for some reason scheduled tasks are not running even after trying to force it manually
any ideas would be helpful
Thanx
Fred

Hi ,
check the log file, to identify why it;s stopping , any exception .
Also, If you are using oc4j as app server then , you need to give current time+1 min. in start time to allow cronjob trigger your task.

Scheduled Tasks Stop Working Suddenly

We have ColdFusion 10 installed on Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.5.
We are running one additional instance of Coldfusion seperate from the cfusion instance but on the same physical server. Our scheduled tasks, on this instance, had been running without any problems for quite some time now. Suddenly about 3 weeks ago after a server reboot our tasks stopped running. We have tried everything including writing the output to a log file. The only thing that gets written to this log file is "Connection Failed".
Driling down into some of the other CF logs we are seeing that the job is getting triggered and then the job starts but it never gets completed.
Nov 6, 2013 16:01:00 PM Information [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-6] - Task DEFAULT.sampleTask triggered.
Nov 6, 2013 16:01:00 PM Information [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-6] - Starting HTTP request {URL='https://ru.ryerson.ca:443/ryecast/myTask.cfm', method='get'}
The weird thing is that if we create the same task in the instance manager (cfusion) on the same server pointing to the same .cfm file it works fine. So we know the script does work - just not in the ColdFusion Instance we need to work in.
Here is the successful log entry from cfusion logs.
Nov 6, 2013 16:01:00 PM Information [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-6] - Task DEFAULT.sampleTask triggered.
Nov 6, 2013 16:01:00 PM Information [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-6] - Starting HTTP request {URL='https://ru.ryerson.ca:443/ryecast/myTask.cfm', method='get'}
Nov 6, 2013 16:01:00 PM Information [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-6] - HTTP request completed {Status Code=200 ,Time taken=124 ms}
Has anyone else experience this kind of behaviour and if so is there a fix? I suspect some kind of corruption with the QuartzScheduler.

Hi Marko,
Did you ever find a solution to your problem?
I'm having the same problem, but am running CF on redhat linux.
I too think it's something with quartz getting itself tied in knots.
In my http.log I can see the same as you, the task is triggered but it never completes. The strange thing I have found is that sometimes just resaving a task is enough to start it again.
Here's the thread I started http://forums.adobe.com/message/5811970#5811970

Scheduled Tasks wont run

I had recently upgarded to CF8 from CF7.
After the upgrade non of my Scheduled Tasks are running.
Even when i trigger the tasks manually from CFAdmin I get the response "This scheduled task was completed successfully."
But nothing really runs. My application is using Integrated Windows Authentication and the schedulled tasks were running fine with CF7.
Now when i switch off the Windows authentication, the scheduled tasks are working fine.
Could you please tell me why my Scheduled Tasks are not running when i turn on Windows authenticaton, where as it was working perfectly with CF7.

ColdFusion schedule tasks CAN NOT run under windows integrated authentication. ColdFusion is not a windows product, it does not pass the NTML headers with requests. You have to turn off windows integrated authentication for any resource you would like to run as a schedule task. Helpfully, you can set that permssion to individual files and|or folders so you do not need to turn it off for the entire site.
I don't know why this would change after an upgrade, unless you built a new CF8 server with a newly built IIS as well.

Server 2012 Scheduled tasks not running after DST

Since the DST change this weekend the weekly scheduled tasks on our 2012 standard server are not running. The schedule show the correct next run time, but the task never runs. The server correctly adjusted for the DST changes (We are in CST in
the US) and if you look in the date time it notified us that the clock was set forward.
Any ideas?

Hi Mark,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm whether only weekly scheduled tasks t run? In other words,
did some daily scheduled tasks run smoothly?
Based on current situation, please create a new weekly
scheduled task and check if encounters the same issue.
If this issue still persists. Please let me confirm if you make scheduled task run some commands or a script,
or others I misunderstand. For an example, if run a script, please directly run it in the Windows Server 2012 Standard and check if there any issue occurred.
Meanwhile, please open Task Scheduler, select this problematic weekly scheduled task, click General tab. Please
check which user account was used to run this task. And please check Run with highest privileges, then check if can solve this issue.
In addition, please check History tab in task Properties. Please pay attention on the time-point when the weekly
scheduled task should be ran, and check if you can find some events at that time-point. It may help us to go further analysis.
By the way, there is a similar thread. Please refer to.
Certain scheduled tasks do not run anymore after DST change

Schedule tasks to run on wake up?

Is it possible to schedule tasks to run when a Mac wakes up (preferably Terminal/UNIX)?
I want to run a script when I open my laptop. Is that possible without installing further software?

You could use System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Schedule to wake up the Mac (or at least try), then if you can have your tasks run in the background, you might be able to either use a repeating Calendar entry that runs an app, Applescript, or Automator app, or use a launchd.plist (launchd is non-trivial, but effective).
The key is to have tasks that do not need to be actually logged in at the time. That is to say, they do not need a GUI up and running.
Not sure that Dropbox works without being logged in, but there may be other ways to sync things between Macs without using Dropbox. Maybe something like bittorrentsync (I've only heard about it, but have not played with it).
As Chris CA suggests, so not shutdown your Macs, but maybe just sleep them with your account already logged in. Then when the scheduler wakes them you are already logged in. Then when the tasks you need to run complete, you can let the normal idle system sleep interval put them back to sleep (be sure to set the sleep interval to a long enough period to allow your tasks to complete).

Creating scheduled task to run powershell script

Hi all,
been following this guide on how to create scheduled task to run a .ps1 script:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/08/11/weekend-scripter-use-the-windows-task-scheduler-to-run-a-windows-powershell-script.aspx
When I manually run this task,in the history it says success, but it doesnt work.
The script should create a report and send me an e-mail.It works fine if i run it manually in Windows powershell or Powershell ISE.
I cannot see that a new report have been created either.
Anything im missing here?
Been using same account to run it manually and the one using in task scheduler.
thanks!

Scheduled Task - Stop/Start processes and .exe

I've running some short batch files to stop a process and an .exe at just past midnight.
and then corresponding files to start a process and an .exe at 6am
I've set up Task Scheduler to run the Stops at 00:05 and 00:10
and then the starts at 06:30 and 06:40
However when I run tests, the scheduled tasks giving a status of "running" long after the the "stop" batch files have run.
How can i set them up so they run once, then stop running so there is no danger of conflict when the "start" tasks run in the morning.
I hope this is clear.
Thanks
Pete

Hi,
Please check the in the task manager (+show tasks from all users) to see if it is indeed still running. You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:
TASK SCHEDULER: scheduler status is being “RUNNING” always

If the issue still exists, the workaround is adding this line at the very end of the batch file:
TASKKILL /F /IM cmd.exe

As well as When I go to "Service configuration" --> Portal Application , there also I could not see my custome application .
Initially whenever there use to be any error (for example -- CM systems not assigned etc etc ).

How can I setup a scheduled task to run a Powershell Script delivered as a Group Policy Preference

I have a Powershell script I want to run only once when a user logs onto their system. This script would move all the PST files from the Local drive and the Home drive to a folder location within the users profile. I wanted to run this as a Windows 7 Scheduled Task using Group Policy Preferences. How can I get this to happen short of a logon script? I have updated all the machines to WMF 4.0 so could I use a Scheduled Job instead? I wanted to run the script as the logon user but elevated.#Start Outlook and Disconnect attached PST files.
$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$namespace = $outlook.getnamespace("MAPI")
$folder = $namespace.GetDefaultFolder("olFolderInbox")
$explorer = $folder.GetExplorer()
$explorer.Display()
$myArray= @()
$outlook.Session.Stores | where{ ($_.FilePath -like'*.PST') } | foreach{[array]$myArray+= $_.FilePath}
for
($x=0;$x-le$myArray.length-1;$x++)
$PSTPath= $myArray[$x]
$PST= $namespace.Stores | ?{$_.FilePath -like$PSTPath}
$PSTRoot= $PST.GetRootFolder() #Get Root Folder name of PST
$PSTFolder= $Namespace.Folders.Item($PSTRoot.Name) #Bind to PST for disconnection
$Namespace.GetType().InvokeMember('RemoveStore',[System.Reflection.BindingFlags]::InvokeMethod,$null,$Namespace,($PSTFolder)) #Disconnect .PST
#Move All PST files to the default location while deleting the PST files from their original location.
$SourceList = ("$env:SystemDrive", "$env:HOMEDRIVE")
$Destination = ("$env:USERPROFILE\MyOutlookFiles")
(Get-ChildItem -Path $SourceList -Recurse -Filter *.PST) | Move-Item -Destination $Destination
#Attach all PST files from the default location.
Add-type -assembly "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook" | out-null
$outlook = new-object -comobject outlook.application
$namespace = $outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
dir “$env:USERPROFILE\MyOutlookFiles\*.pst” | % { $namespace.AddStore($_.FullName) }

Mike,
I do not understand what appears to be a regular expression above. I did add the PowerShell script to the HKCU RunOnce Key as suggested.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -sta -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File "C:\scripts\Windows PowerShell\Move-PST.ps1"
I'm delivering this using Group Policy Preferences. It seems to fail or time out when run because the behavior is different if I run the script from within the PowerShell IDE. I added the parameters to the script and will try it again in the morning.

Scheduled Task will run on Windows 7, but will not run on Server 2008 R2

So I have a scheduled task that uses nircmd to take a screenshot and then email it to a few company emails each night. With our old Exchange 2003 server, everything works prefectly on the 2008 R2 server (using SMTP). But since we upgraded to
Exchange 2010 it no longer seems to work (at least it never sends the email anymore).
What confuses me more is that this exact task (I exported it) runs perfectly fine on a Windows 7 Pro computer, even using the new Exchange 2010 SMTP address.
Both machines are logged in as the same user. I can even login as the domain administrator on each machine and still have the same issue. Only the Windows 7 Pro machine will successful run the task. To restate it, the Server 2008 R2 server
will run the task successfully if I use the old Exchange 2003 SMTP address.
Thanks for any advice!

[Forum FAQ] Fixing scheduled task Next Run Time displaying as expired time plus days to delete

Symptom:
We used Task Scheduler to create a scheduled task. For example, we configured a daily task, starting from 3 AM 9/3/2014, recurring the task every 1 day, and set the expiration time as 3 AM 9/3/2015 (See Figure 1). Under
Settings tab, we checked If the task is not scheduled to run again, delete if after:
option, and set the value as 30 days (See Figure 2).
However, in the Task Scheduler Library snap-in, we saw that the Next Run Time of the task is 3AM 10/3/2015, which equals expiration date plus days to delete (See Figure 3), but the right value should be 3 AM 9/2/2014 because the task has never been run.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Cause:
This is a Task Scheduler interface displaying issue. Although the next run time that is displayed in the Task Schedule is incorrect, the trigger will be fired correctly.
Solution:
We can install the hotfix in the following KB article to fix the displaying issue, though the symptom in the article is different.
An incorrect value for Next Run Time is displayed when you specify multiple triggers to schedule a task in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2495489
After installing the hotfix, we need to restart computers to make it take effect.
In this example, after installing the hotfix and restarting the computer, we see that the next run time of the task is displayed correctly in Task Scheduler (Figure 4).

I am not running out of space, but I do have the same problem. Every so often TM does a backup which is about 60 GB bigger than expected.   The extra is always a new backup of /System /Applications /usr etc. - that is the 'system files'.
The key thing is, as you have noticed:
Examining the content of the latest backup, the one that did not fail, shows that some system directories, /Applications, /usr, and /bin are missing
As a consequence the next backup is, in my case, 60 GB bigger because it includes all the system files.
It is as if 'systemFilesExcluded' was turned on for the previous backup (the one that 'did not fail'). But I have looked in the .exclusions.plist for this backup and it is exactly the same as for other backups and does include:
        <key>systemFilesExcluded</key>
        <false/>
It seems that TM is treating this as if <true/>.
Like you, I have done a disk verify and it finds no errors.
I think this must be a bug. I have had this on four occassions since upgrading to Mountain Lion. And it is doing a large one right now - I have caught it in the act!

CF9 Deleted Scheduled Tasks Still running

I have several scheduled tasks that were deleted via the admin but they are still running. Don't show up in the admin, but still run.
I have tried to programmatically delete them also. Have looked in neo-cron.xml and they dont exist in there either.
Any ideas?

Update to this.
Not only are deleted items running, but active items are running twice.

All scheduled tasks stopped execute

Hi guys,
We are using the version 11.1.1.5(BP 2) of OIM. Now all scheduled task, stoped execute.
We clicked em "Run Now" but isn't inserted a line in grid Job History, in log doesn't show no errors.
This happen for all scheduled tasks.
What be should the problem??
Thanks

Restart the Scheduler
http://OIM_HOST:OIM_PORT/SchedulerService-web/status.
Hope the problem should resoved after this. If not than:
Also enable looger for Schedule task (oracle.iam.identity.scheduledtasks). You will get more information in the log file.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e14308/log.htm#CEGBBGFH.
I think you will get the some exception in diaognestic log file.
If problem doesn't solve restart the manage server.

Scheduled Backups Stopped Running

I have two Hyper-V 2012 Servers on which I have scheduled a number of backup jobs using the SCHTASKS command. The backups have been running fine since I created the tasks on 2/26/2014 until last night. On one of the servers the backup was supposed to run
at 6:00pm last night and on the other one it should have run at 7:00pm. On both of them the backup task was apparently not triggered, when I view the event logs for the task manager there is no entry there at all for those times.
On the server where the backup was supposed to run at 6:00 last night I brought up the task manager and see this for the job.
Name: WeeklyBackupMonday
Status: Ready
Triggers: at 6:00 pm every Monday of every week starting 2/26/2014
Next Run Time: 3/17/2014 at 6:00pm
Last Run Time: 3/3/2014 at 6:00pm
Result: The last job finished successfully.
Clearly the job that was supposed to run on the 10th did not run, the same thing is happening on both servers. The other server has a backup job that is supposed to run on Sunday and it also did not run. The history shows that prior to Sunday the jobs were
running normally.
I find it very strange that both servers started exhibiting the same issue simultaneously and am having a difficult time knowing how to troubleshoot the issue as I can not find anything in the logs regarding why it may have failed. Can any one point me in
the right direction for troubleshooting this issue?
Thanks in advance.
