VVEngine issue: window appears with autosync in the title

Steviebone · Joined: 27 May 2007 Posts: 42

I have a profile that is running from vvengine normally for some time now. For some reason during the compare phase it intermittently pauses/stops. A ViceVersa profile window appears with auto sync in the title. I am not able to click on anything in the window. If I go to vvengine I can click on stop running profile and the window will go away. I can then rerun the profile with no problem. This is an intermittent problem that does not occur every time the profile runs. So far I've been unable to re-create the problem by simply running the profile manually.

The profile log reports: Exit Code: 2. Execution not completed. [ERROR].

I've never seen a profile appear during execution. In fact I could swear I've been told there was no way for this feature to be added to vvengine.

Any idea what is going on and how I can and how I can correct the problem? If I'm away for the machine this error stops all processing and prevents subsequent profiles from running.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Is anything shown in the profile log (ViceVersa profile settings -> execution) when this happens? When profiles run in ViceVersa, they are run in a hidden window, and for some reason this window is showing up intermittently on your computer. Is VVEngine running on which version of Windows?
thank you

As stated in the post above, the only entry in the log is execution error 2. Perhaps I should turn on verbose logging. It always hangs on compare. Rerunning after stopping the profile in vvengine has resulted in successful runs so far, but that is a problem because I have many profiles that run sequentially so when this happens it prevents all these profiles from running.

The OS is Windows 7 64x.

I went to grab the log file and I noticed it was named the same as another profile's log file... perhaps this was the cause?

What would happen if two profiles were running at the same time and had the same log file name?

I renamed the log file and set it to verbose logging. Let's see what happens. If the problem recurs I will post the log here. Thanks.

Hi, in that case one of the two profiles should stop complaining it can't access the log file as it's used by another process.

hmmm.... never saw anyone complaining... I almost copied the log file last time it snagged and I saw the error #2... I will keep an eye on this... I've run thousands of profiles from vvengine in the last few months without incident... only a handful (maybe 4x) has this come up. I can't even swear it was the same profile every time, although I think it was...

Thanks for your help... I'll post again as soon as the problem recurs, if it foes.
