How can I save variables between job runs? I want to count to some number of runs than interrupt my job schedule if it failed more than the specified number

Peter,

I am posting you question here because you gave invalid invalid email address.

There are probably many options for saving variables. I prefer using ini files. I made one shared file for all jobs with a separate section for every job. In my scripts I use INIFILESET and INIFILEGET to store and retrieve values between runs.

Here is brief description of what is coming in 3.3

1. As always, this maintenance release is a free upgrade to registered users of version 3.

2. New scheduling options (available in GIU; previously it was available only via scripting)
-- options to specify daily start/end time for "all day" jobs
-- options to specify time list for daily jobs (helps to avoid multiple identical jobs with different schedules) for example: 9:00, 9:20, 10:00, 10:20, 11:00, 11:20
-- options to specify day list for monthly jobs (helps to avoid multiple identical jobs with different schedules) for example: 1, 3, 7, 15

3. New option to run program job as another user (available in GIU; previously it was available only via scripting)

4. New graphical utility - job template builder

5. New JAL scripting commands HostTime, AtomicTime, PageSend

6. New job notification options via paging

7. New options to collect and consolidate log files and status reports from different servers and agents into a single report

8. New templates and template options QUEUE LIST, JOB NAME BROWSE, JOB FOLDER LIST

9. Other minor enhancements

A lot more is planned in the following releases. Among them are 24x7 Event Server, remote debugging in 24x7 Scheduler, Support for secure Telnet and FTP and other.

If you have good ideas or know about an existing bug please feel free to email to feedback@softtreetech.com

Version 3.3 should be available by the end of this month or early June

Could you please explain the new feature called "Event Service"? This sounds like something I may be very interested in.

Thanks,

Mike Niccum

Karl,

I don't know what's wrong with your computer, but even your messages posted on this board cannot be seen anymore. This is unbelivable!
I've got email copies of your messages but cannot open them here.

Anyway, please send your job database file for analysis to support@softtreetech.com

: Most likely you 've got some icons "below" or "above" the
: screen that cause distorted display of the dependencies diagram.
: Try changing the Zoom option to check if that will let you see the
: "above" and "below" the screen icons. If you can get
: them visible drag them to a better place..

: If that does not help, go to the job properties of relevant jobs and
manually
: clear file names in "files to watch" (schedule stepts) and
: "files to create" (notification events and actions). After that
: you can reopen the Dependencies Editor and those bad jobs icons should be
: gone. You can then drag-and-drop them again and fix the diagram.

I've done that and got rid of the problem icons but I'm still having problems.

I create two new jobs and in the dependancy window link them, click apply,
then save the database. The child job becomes disabled, the log says "Job
definition error: missing semaphore file name. Job disabled"

The only way to fix it is to manually define a semaphore filename to be
created by the parent and checked by the child - which defeats the point of
having the dependancy window.

I know I must be doing something wrong - I just can't figure out what!

It looks like you are either having issues with IIS configuration or 24x7 Scheduler is not running in the required "server" mode. If the scheduler is running and configured correctly (Tools/Options menu; Network tab) check what you get in the Windows Application and System Event logs.

Recieved App Event ID 5. Source was Active Server Page. Message "The Template Persistent Cache initialization failed for Application Pool 'DefaultAppPool' because of the following error: Could not create a Disk Cache Sub-directory for the Application Pool. The data may have additional error codes."

I researched the error message and assigned the appropriate rights to the following folders for the IIS_WPG and Network Service groups.
• systemroot\Help\IISHelp\Common
• systemroot\System32\Inetsrv\ASP Compiled Templates
• systemroot\IIS Temporary Compressed Files

I am still unable to login.

I eventually ended up at "Page Cannot be Displayed."

There were no addtional application event logs that correlated with this.

Is the scheduler running in the server mode? Is it listenning on port 1096?

: I eventually ended up at "Page Cannot be Displayed."

: There were no addtional application event logs that correlated with this.

Scheduler is runing in server mode and listening on port 1096.

Is there anything in the scheduler log indicating a connection attempt?

Can you run other ASP pages on your IIS server?

: Scheduler is runing in server mode and listening on port 1096.

The server that hosts 24x7 is called CACAPPPROD.
The server that hosts the 24x7 web interface is CACDCPROD.
Is it possible to run the web interface on a different server than what the app is running on.

Yes, as long as webserver is allowed to go outside of the box (DMZ, firewall, etc...)

Checked the schedule log on the server running 24x7.

3/20/2006 16:45:26 1 0 0 24x7 Scheduler Client 24x7 not authorized. Connection denied.

Ok, we are now getting somewhere. So it looks like the security is turned on in the scheduler. In that case you need to have the user added to one of the security groups (see Tools/Security menu in 24x7)

My login is part of the administrators group. When i try to login i am still getting page cannot be displayed.
