Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2008 8:56 am Post subject: End of jobs :Option for clock sync msg + display log |
|
|
Hi,
1- the msgbox problem:
- the 'synchronize computer clock with atomic time servers' is a nice option.
- when it is on (my case), it displays a message box before closing the job -> OK must be clicked before the job is fully terminated.
- When jobs are scheduled (generaly at night) with the /autoclose switch, it prevents them from closing completely,
- if an other job has the /wait switch, it does not start untill I click OK (next morning), so the job runs while I work (OK, but not wanted : see below).
It would be nice to have an option allowing
- to synchronize each time
- NOT to display the msgbox.
2- auto display log at end of job :
As mentioned above, I run several jobs at night.
I have scheduled Windows to display the various logs at 7:00AM, before I show up.
I can then quickly glance at errors (with F4), if any, fix them or close the logs and get to work.
Could we simplify this by adding a separate option in the scheduler to open the log after a job is complete, using vvlogViewer ?
Thanx again for a great soft.

Hello

This looks to me like a bug, becuase with the /autoclose switch the profile should terminate properly without user intervention ....

OK
thanks for the feedback! _________________ --

Thanx for this quick reply;
point n°1- should I ask the same question in the support forum ?
Have no idea why, but all my "/autoclose" scheduled tasks end with this Msgbox.
I click 2 every morning, which then starts the job with the /Wait option.
Am
point n°2- Will look at the script, but will keep the scheduled log for the moment, since it contains all details about OK copies + errors

We need to check if this is an issue with ViceVersa.
If you switch-off the time sync option do the tasks close properly?

So far, I noticed a strange problem:
- while a job was running (2 days ago), I opened VV
- turned time synch off
- closed
The job terminated later, still with the 'Computer clock synchronised' message.
All other jobs still showed the same message, yesterday and today.
Rather disturbing (though a minor issue)
------
I checked today : the option was ON.
Turned it off again, then checked it was really off (no job running).
Will be back in a day or 2, to report whether it now closes properly. |

Thanks for checking this. I think the time sync option was not off the first time becuase the other job was still running. _________________ --

So do I. which still appears weird, in the sense the running job seems to set that option again, when it terminates???
This is confirmed by new trial yesterday, where I had to check 3 times, after turning it off, and, 2ce, had to turn it off again...
Anyway, your first question: Yes, when the time synch option is off, the jobs end and follow each other normally. This morning, all jobs had ended, and all logs were displayed, containing the latest data.
I will have to live without, hoping you can find an easy solution.
Thanx,
Etienne |

Sorry to push without waiting for your reply, but
1- I would appreciate an answer : is this a known issue, to be solved asap?
I have tried to restore the clock sync setting: the messages appear again, and still block the autoclose. can't use it.
2- I realise that the same applies to synchronisation errors : they keep the interface open, even with /autoclose.
I would appreciate these errors to simply display in the log, afterwards. |

If you are using the VVScheduler option /autoexec , it is normal to see all the dialogs ... if you want an automatic run without user's interactions in VVScheduler, use the task option /dialogautoexec (this one shows a single window but it does not stop for user's prompts) or /hiddenautoexec (this one runs ViceVersa 100% hidden and write all warnings to the log file) BTW all options write the output to the log file if a log file is enabled in the profile settings.

Seeing the dialogs is OK.
This is why I used the /autoexec : i want to know when it runs and the /dialogautoexec option is sometimes too discreet, hidden by other windows.
So, as far as I am concerned,
- I will try /dialogautoexec again...
-on my wish list, in the future, I would appreciate a /autoclose which means : no message box, no interaction, even with /autoexec.
Thanx anyway.

Try the option "No confirmations" in the VV profile settings: it is under profile settings -> execution. This option instructs ViceVersa to run without any confirmations, even with /autoexec.
The task scheduler flag /autoclose only refers to automatically closing ViceVersa at the end of a run.
