PostPosted: Tue Sep 04, 2007 8:23 pm    Post subject: vv scheduler jobs fail to exit Reply with quote

I frequently find that VV pro jobs that I have scheduled with VV scheduler fail to exit when finished. I had this problem in VVP 1.3.1, and it persists in VVP2b2014.

I have the settings for the job set up to run with full user interface. The schedule is to run once a day at a specific time, though this occurs even when I click "run now" (== "run task") in VV scheduler. When the job finishes, I manually close all the windows by clicking either 'ok' or 'close window' as the case may be for each window. After all this, my tools show that there are no windows in use by VVP, but the job continues running indefinitely. It does not seem to use any noticeable CPU time when in this state.

I was hoping that upgrading to v2 from v1.3.1 would fix this, but it did not.

Any idea why this should be happening? And, is it a bug or a feature?

(I can also send you the list of all the handles it has open if that's of any use.)

Here is some information from the log file:

I'm having the same problem with updated pro vs on advanced server 2k.

I also have this problem.

When I click on the "Show Comparison" button in the VV Scheduler, the job runs and then it shows me that there are no new files, no files that have to be copied/deleted => the folders are synched/no changes made

But when I start the job by clicking on "Run Task", the job status remains "running" for a very long time although it only takes about 10min when I start the job via "Show Comparison".

The update to 2.0 b2014 has brought no improvement.
Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks for the fast response.
When I took a look in the logfile, I recognized that the output was not proper. Instead of one space, there were 2 spaces, there was even a space between the letters of word, like this:
Code:

* * * *   -   F o l d e r s   -
 
 2 0 0 7 - 0 9 - 1 5   0 8 : 3 8 : 4 2   :   * * * *   S o u r c e :   " D : \ W e b \ "   
 
 2 0 0 7 - 0 9 - 1 5   0 8 : 3 8 : 4 2   :   * * * *   T a r g e t :   " Z : \ W e b \ "     ( A r c h i v e d )
 
 2 0 0 7 - 0 9 - 1 5   0 8 : 3 8 : 4 2   :   * * * *   I n c l u d e   S u b f o l d e r s :   Y e s
 
 2 0 0 7 - 0 9 - 1 5   0 8 : 3 8 : 4 2   :   * * * *   C r e a t e   s o u r c e s / t a r g e t s   t h a t   d o   n o t   e x i s t
 
 2 0 0 7 - 0 9 - 1 5   0 8 : 3 8 : 4 2   :   * * * *   E x c l u d e   f i l e s :   " * . L o g "
 
 2 0 0 7 - 0 9 - 1 5   0 8 : 3 8 : 4 2   :   * * * *   E x c l u d e   f i l e s :   " ~ * . * "
 
 2 0 0 7 - 0 9 - 1 5   0 8 : 3 8 : 4 2   :   * * * *   E x c l u d e   f i l e s :   " * . l d b "
 
 2 0 0 7 - 0 9 - 1 5   0 8 : 3 8 : 4 2   :   * * * *   E x c l u d e   f i l e s :   " T h u m b s . d b "
 
 2 0 0 7 - 0 9 - 1 5   0 8 : 3 8 : 4 2   :   * * * *   E x c l u d e   s u b f o l d e r s :


I couldn't see this output in the VV logviewer, only with the notepad.
Now I moved the old logfiles to another directory, so that VV could create a new logfile.

After this procedure, the job ran properly, it didn't hang and the logfile output was normal as before.
It think, maybe VV has a problem with too large logfiles (what filesize can it handle without problems?). Or the problem came with the update from VV 1.31 to VV 2.0.

I have the problem with the log output with several logfiles. It will now give it a try with new logfiles, I hope it changes to the better Wink

When the problem with the "still running jobs" keeps coming up, I will report again...

I have another question:
Why does it take sooooo long to check the archive? I mean it shouldn't take longer for checking the archive than for checking the source and the target, shouldn't it? (The archive is on the same server as the target.)
Source: 9.6GB
Target: 9.6GB
Archive: 3GB

Thanks for your fast response Smile

Have you found out anything about this problem in the interim?

One thing that I can add is that it seems that the problem only occurs if VV scheduler is left running. If it is exited, then generally, the vv jobs do not seem to hang. I haven't checked that exahustively, though.

We were never able to reproduce this problem, but indeed letting the VVScheduler program running could be the issue.
