API Failure workflow

mttwnxn — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 06:37:10 -0400

Hi - if we are running API pulls via Omniscope (e.g. DoubleClick) and for some reason these fail (maybe an external factor such as API downtime) can we set up a workflow to be able to loop around and retry x number of times?

Data source: RSS feed fails to update in Server Scheduler

PaulAllison — Wed, 05 Jul 2017 09:43:28 -0400

Hi - I'm testing out the scheduler option in Omniscope Server and have built a simple IOK file pointing to the BBC News RSS feed which is scheduled to update every hour and collect the latest stories - http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml

The stories update with no problems in the IOK file DataManager file (using the desktop software), and also when setting up the scheduled event (in the server app), but when it subsequently tries to run in the scheduler I see the following error in the event log

Does anyone know of a reason why this would fail under scheduler when it works OK during setup? The Visokio Enterprise service is running under my name and license number. I've also tested the file OK in the desktop software installed on another machine with a different license.

Scheduler file action: importing value order for Category fields

Alexander — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 15:52:16 -0500

Hi all,

In some of our dashboards we import the order of values in a category field, but we have to do this manually. Is it possible to add this function to the file action in the scheduler?

Thanks

Scheduler: SalesForce source block daily update refresh?

ALC — Mon, 22 Sep 2014 12:09:19 -0400

Hi

I have set-up a job to pull information from different Salesforce tables, combine and then publish this data. The template works and the data is updated and published as expected however when I try to schedule the task it shows the attached warning.

Oddly the data is still published when the task is tested but the job will not run when scheduled. I have also set-up an email notification for when this chain action fails however I am not sent an email even though this process has also been tested.

Any suggestion on how I can get this to update daily as needed?

Thanks
Anna

Scheduler Error: extra sheet exists when it opens the Excel file?

JamesPC — Fri, 04 Dec 2015 09:17:55 -0500

A batch file was meant to import a Excel file using the Omniscope reader then some logic gets applied and it ouputs, however the following error occurred. I think it's looking for another worksheet from Excel:

Idea: Scheduler - Scheduled tasks finished successfully?

Alexander — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 10:12:13 -0400

Hi All,

We would like to introduce an idea. Working the Scheduler we would like to have an overview of all the tasks, the last scheduled run and if it was successful.

Is there something available like that? Or could this be added to the wish list for future development?

(Attached an image of a task list that shows the information we would like to see)

Idea: Scheduler - Running 2+ jobs at one time

neilmerchant — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 05:11:13 -0400

Hi - I was wondering how you run 2 jobs at once in the scheduler? We have a job that take 4 hours and it blocks everything else from running during this time. The server is powerful enough to do this. I assumed it was using "fork execution" but that does not work. - Thanks Neil

Scheduler: Tasks performed only working days & hours?

Alexander — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 10:16:34 -0400

Hi All,

We have some tasks that we run every few minutes. We would like that this "loop of tasks" is only performed working hours from 9 am until 5 pm every day, and/or only on working days.

Currently, we can only set a range on dates.

Scheduler: Running 5 Scheduler instances, which executes watchfolder actions?

Alexander — Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:19:51 -0500

Hi All,

We have 5 Schedulers running on one server. When I drop a XML task into the Watchfolder, more then 1 Scheduler executes the task.

Is this the expected behaviour?

Scheduler: PDF Batch date/time error?

Alexander — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:23:00 -0500

All,

I get an error in one of our schedulers. The error is "DUMP BUG HANDLER Header Foutrapport Message Unable to re-parse: time -262800000 s 196901 f yyyyww"

This causes the batch output to skip files that needed to be generated. All PDF files that need to be published in this tasks are skipped.

Please advise asap.

Thanks!
Alexander

Scheduler: Change in log formats between 2.8 and 2.9 release?

benjamin — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 12:43:13 -0500

Hi

Has there been any change to the formatting and output of the Scheduler log text file produced on the Omniscope Server Editions?

I current see the following: The date time now has a T in between date and time?
Previously you had "Watcher process finished with output" text wording and now i cant see any such wording in the scheduler log.

I am using the following file in the service folder as the Scheduler log "service_scheduler_log"

Please advise

Thanks

Linux Headless Server/Scheduler - Unable to read data from database

Veaceslav — Wed, 01 Oct 2014 14:04:01 -0400

This post describes how to check and fix Unable to read data from database errors on a headless Omniscope server or scheduler running on Linux.

If you can run Omniscope Desktop on your machine, you don't need to follow these instructions. Instead, you should run Omniscope Desktop, open your file, go to Data Manager and expand your database block. A dialog should be displayed asking you to locate your database driver. Select the jar file, re-load your data and save the file.

Note: Database (jar file) drivers should be downloaded from the official website distributing the driver.

If you cannot run Omniscope Desktop on your machine to configure the driver from the UI (e.g. you have a headless Linux machine) then you should follow the next steps:

1. Check whether you need to specify a driver location

If you already know that the driver location is wrong or missing, go to step 2.
If you get only 'Error Unable to read data from database' without any additional details, you need to check whether the driver location is the root cause of the problem.

a. Edit {OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR}/_launch.sh
```
    {OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR} is the directory where Omniscope is installed
```
Change JAVA_VM_PARS property to include both AppSetting_APPSETTING_REPORT_RECOGNISED_ERRORS_AS_BUGS and AppSetting_APPSETTING_REPORT_DATABASE_ERRORS_AS_BUG, leave all other JVM flags unchanged.

E.g.
JAVA_VM_PARS='-Xms64M -Xmx1100m -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=20 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=50 -XX:NewRatio=8 -XX:+UseG1GC -DAppSetting_APPSETTING_REPORT_RECOGNISED_ERRORS_AS_BUGS=true -DAppSetting_APPSETTING_REPORT_DATABASE_ERRORS_AS_BUGS=true'

b. Run your tasks again
At this point you should get more details about the error and it should look like this:

...driver JAR file location not specified. Please reconfigure this legacy file's database connection in the desktop application.

2. Configure Omniscope to use a specific driver
My example shows how to configure Omniscope to use a MySQL driver. Other database types are very similar.

Download MySQL JDBC driver from MySQL website.
E.g. http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.33.zip
Unzip, get the jar file and put it somewhere on the machine running Omniscope scheduler
E.g. /home/visokio/visokio-omniscope-2.9-b1200/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.33-bin.jar
Edit {OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR}/_launch.sh again
Modify JAVA_VM_PARS property to include the JDBC driver location and remove the flags added at step 1.(a)
E.g.
JAVA_VM_PARS='-Xms64M -Xmx1100m -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=20 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=50 -XX:NewRatio=8 -XX:+UseG1GC -DMySqlDriverSearch_driverDir=/home/visokio/visokio-omniscope-b620/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.33-bin.jar'

Note: Here are property names for the other databases (make sure you prepend a '-D' in front of the property e.g -DMySqlDriverSearch_driverDir):

IngresSqlDriverSearch_driverDir
MySqlDriverSearch_driverDir
OracleThinDriverSearch_jarFile
PostgreSqlDriverSearch_driverDir
SqlServer2008DriverSearch_jarFile

These steps configured Omniscope scheduler/server to locate and use database drivers when running in headless mode.

Note: If you configure your file on one machine, then use it on another machine, the driver needs to be added manually on the second machine, otherwise you will get the 'Unable to read data from database' error.

Scheduler: Pause & Stop buttons not working?

edtclarke — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 07:47:04 -0400

Hi,

I'm just testing multiple Schedulers in 2.8 b1235 on our dev machine and have got everything working but I've noticed that the 'Pause Scheduler' tick box does not appear to actually pause the Scheduler nor does the 'Stop' button actually stop the Scheduler?

Am I missing something or are you guys aware of this?

Thanks, Ed

Scheduler: 'Function unsupported please re-start'?

Mees — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 04:21:42 -0500

Hi there

Since a few days we have a strange error in Omniscope and our schedulers. The application stops working without any obvious reason. The message in the log is "Function unsupported. Please restart Omniscope and try again.". This message is also thrown when Omniscope (in stead of the scheduler) errors. We run version 2.8 b1187

This is causing serious problems as our scheduler tasks are not competed and iok files not refreshed.

Can someone please support us on this?

FYI on the same server, but with another user we also run 2.9 b779.

Many thanks, Arjan

Printing: PDF output layout differs when running as Scheduler task?

enrico68 — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:27:06 -0400

We have to produce a PDF document containing different outputs (graphs and tables) from a .iok file. However, we obtain two different output results, depending on whether the output PDF production process is launched manually from an open .iok file (containing an Output as PDF block) or if it is launched from a Scheduler Task List process (containing a 'Publish DataManager Output Blocks' command).

We opened the .iok file on the same Omniscope server where the scheduled process runs (Omniscope Server version 2.8 b1216 is installed) and looks like that trying different online page settings (xga, svga, ..) does not have an impact on the Scheduled process behaviour.

In the attached file, it is possible to see an example of the different layout observed: when produced manually from the .iok file, the table reported is completely visible; when produced by the scheduled output process the table is not completely visible.

It seems to me that scheduled process uses different page dimensions and configuration settings to produce the PDF file?

The desired result is obviously to have the same PDF output in both production methods: manual and by scheduled process.

Scheduler: Automatic refresh with missing file?

ygulla — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 06:49:34 -0500

Hi, we just encountered a behaviour where a scheduled job has gone through a refresh of an .iok file despite the fact that one of the excel inputs was missing. I would expect the process to fail in this case.

Here's the relevant bit of the scheduler .xml file:

< schedulerFileAction source="..." logTimings="false">
< subActions>
< schedulerFileActionRefreshFromSource/>
< schedulerFileActionRecalcFormulas />
< schedulerFileActionPublishDataManagerOutputBlocks/>
< /subActions>
< /schedulerFileAction>

Is there something we can do to fail the chain of actions if input files are missing?

Thanks,
Yuri

Scheduler: command line Omniscope?

ncoders — Fri, 02 May 2014 07:46:23 -0400

Hi, I am new to Omniscope and I just wondered if someone could point me to a tutorial on what I want to to.

I can create a report manually, but now I want to automate the process with scripting. Any ideas on where to start?

Many thanks

Installation: Mac OS X - Omniscope Server

donald — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 10:51:42 -0400

Using Omniscope Server on Apple Mac OSX

Follow the instructions for installing Omniscope on Apple Mac OSX
http://www.visokio.com/kb/mac-installs

Start Omniscope and enter your license.
Omniscope will prompt to restart once the license has been authorised.

The Settings Server menu will only show menu items once a valid server license has been authorized.

Select the Settings menu, select Server, select "Omniscope Server ..."

A warning message will be displayed saying that the Omniscope Server will take over the current Omniscope Window, select "OK, start anyway"

The Omniscope Server window will be displayed.
Mobile Web server will display a network error as it cannot use port 80 unless run as root.
Change the Mobile Web server ports for http to 8080 and https to 8443 by selecting Config.

Omniscope Server is now running.
Select Exit to exit the server.

The following two command files will allow you to start Omniscope server directly, the first command file will run the server with the server control window GUI, the second command file will run the server without a control window.

Save the files and rename the extension from .txt to .command

Or use a texteditor and save the following command as OmniscopeEnterprise.command

NOTE: change the memory to match your system, this is set to 6Gb -Xmx6144m for use on a system with 8Gb of RAM installed

/Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Plugins/jre7/Contents/Home/jre/bin/java -Xmx6144m -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=20 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=50 -XX:NewRatio=8 -XX:+UseG1GC -Duser.dir=/Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Resources/Java -cp /Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Resources/Java/Main.jar:/Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib/mailapi.jar:/Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib/smtp.jar:/Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib/pop3.jar:/Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib/imap.jar:/Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib/dsn.jar:/Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib/activation.jar:/Applications/Visokio\ Omniscope.app/Contents/Resources/Java/plugins/bccrypto.jar com.visokio.ent.EntLaunch

Scheduler: Running multiple instances concurrently

michael — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 11:12:26 -0400

To run 2..N Schedulers simultaneously:

In the text below:

1) Change YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME for you correspondent account name.

2.1) If you have User specific installation (not system-wide) replace OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR for:

C:\Users\YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME\AppData\Local\Visokio Omniscope app

2.1) If you have system wide installation, replace OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR for:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Visokio Omniscope

Make sure that the path exists.

==========================================================

1) In your service directory

"OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\service\"

Create 2..N folders s1..sN

2) In each directory create config.xml file
and set different/correspondent port and configurationFilePath:
E.g.:

OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\service\s1\config.xml

OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\service\s2\config.xml

3) Go to "OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR"
and create executable file run_scheduler.bat (if you have x64 version, leave it as in the example below otherwise change for x86 )

For Omniscope 2.7
set CONF_DIR=%1
"OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\x64\bin\java.exe" -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -DschedulerConfigLocation="OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\service\%CONF_DIR%\config.xml" -Xms64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=20 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=30 -XX:NewRatio=8 -XX:+UseSerialGC -Xmx6183M -Dvisokio.localappdata="C:\Users\YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME\AppData\Local" -Dvisokio.winproxyenable="0" -Dvisokio.winproxyserver="" -cp "OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\Main.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\lib\mail.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\lib\activation.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\plugins\bccrypto.jar" com.visokio.ent.EntLaunch -scheduler

From Omniscope 2.8
set CONF_DIR=%1
"OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\x64\bin\java.exe" -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -DschedulerConfigLocation="OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\service\%CONF_DIR%\config.xml" -Xms64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=20 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=30 -XX:NewRatio=8 -XX:+UseSerialGC -Xmx6183M -Dvisokio.localappdata="C:\Users\YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME\AppData\Local" -Dvisokio.winproxyenable="0" -Dvisokio.winproxyserver="" -cp "OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\Main.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\lib\mailapi.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\lib\smtp.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\lib\pop3.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\lib\imap.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\lib\dsn.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\lib\activation.jar;OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\plugins\bccrypto.jar" com.visokio.ent.EntLaunch -server

From Omniscope 3.0
set CONF_DIR=%1
"OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\OmniscopeEnterprise.exe" "/jvmarg=-DschedulerConfigLocation=OMNISCOPE_INSTALL_DIR\service\%CONF_DIR%\config.xml"

4) Start schedulers using run_scheduler.bat and passing folder names s1, s2, ... sN as a parameter:
E.g.:

run_scheduler.bat s1
run_scheduler.bat s2
...
run_scheduler.bat sN

You can do it into two ways.

a) You can create Shortcuts. Right-click on your Desktop->New->Shortcut.

Specify the path to your run_scheduler.bat file and pass the parameter, for example on my computer it is:

"C:\Users\michael\AppData\Local\Visokio Omniscope app\run_scheduler.bat" s1

b) Alternatively you can run the command from Windows Console - cmd.exe

5) In C:\Users\YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME\scheduler\log.txt you should see log messages from all schedulers.

You can use attached files as templates replacing (here it is text in bold) with your current file paths
and then renaming
config_xml_tempalte.txt => config.xml
run_scheduler_bat_template.txt => run_scheduler.bat

Scheduler: Fields do not exist error?

SimonWiggins — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 09:32:09 -0500

We've been seeing an error with reports when we attempt to run them using the scheduler/watch folder that otherwise work fine when refreshed manually and published manually.

Basically it seems to think there are fields missing when it comes to publish later in the flow.
Two of the fields aren't there as they are deleted further up in the flow however Keyword is a field present at the end.
There are no erroring formulas further up or warnings when run manually.

The error is pasted below:

Error publishing block "Data file output 9"

Detailed information

Invalid fields: Fields do not exist - cannot execute:

Date
Campaign name
Keyword

Is this a known bug or something I've failed to notice?
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

I found I can rebuild the offending flow from scratch exactly as before and this seems to remove the error (although it appears from a different flow and publish block).
Obviously I want to avoid having to rebuild the entire report block by block.

I would assume the blocks retain a certain amount of past configuration information as if I change a flow higher up and then change it back later it remembers some aggregate settings etc.
Could this be the issue and is there a way of clearing past configurations?

Thanks

Simon

Scheduler: Service stopping randomly once per day?

tamax — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:21:40 -0500

Hi,

We are having a stability issue with the scheduler, it stops suddenly and randomly aproximately once per day and we need to restart the service manually.

Please find attached the wrapper.log file at the moment the service crashes and the same log file when I restart the service manually. There is a warning during start that might be the cause of the problem but I am not sure how to fix it.

We are using Visokio Server 2.8 1191

Scheduler: Propagate Failure in Chain Actions?

ALC — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 06:39:35 -0500

I have a Task List with a Chain Action set up with multiple tasks. The Propagate failure box is unticked however when anerror is encountered in one of the tasks, none of the remaining tasks are carried out. The failure action occurs as expected with an email sent with the log

What changes do I need to make to ensure that all the tasks listed below the one containing the error is executed?

Thanks, Anna

Idea: Scheduler watchfolder - process files in copied order?

alec_webliquid — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 05:06:00 -0400

Hi Visokio,

Would it be possible to implement functionality to process scheduler XML files in the order that they are copied to the watch folder? I have my processes set up in a sequential, multi-file structure, similar to the way you advise for the .iok files themselves. I would love to be able to copy all my XML files to the watch folder at once and trust that they will be processed in the correct order. Currently, I have to do it in two lots as there is no guarantee it will happen this way.

I am aware I could write more XML files which deal with all of my .iok files at once, and I may do so in the short term, but this is still something I would very much like to see if possible.

Is this request feasible?

Cheers

Scheduler: Updated Task Not Being Reflected?

cgamolo — Fri, 12 Jul 2013 17:52:33 -0400

Hi, We appear to be experiencing an issue where we update a task, it gets reflected in the Task List config file, but Omniscope Server continues to run using the old configuration. We are using the Scheduler as a Windows service.

In order for the new configuration to be reflected, we have to restart the Service.

We are using Version: 2.8-beta b1018 (Jun 26, 2013 6:28:42 PM)

Idea: Scheduler - Publishing outputs at different times?

alec_webliquid — Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:24:35 -0400

Hello all,

I have just upgraded my Omniscope license to ServerPlus and am keen to get it set up to automate all my reports. However, at first glance it does not appear to be possible to make it work in the way I would like.

Specifically, I need to be able to update and publish specific blocks within a file, instead of updating all or publishing all - in particular the publishing. For instance, I have daily reports that I provide internally to my colleagues, and weekly, timestamped reports that are sent out to clients. They both contain the same dataset (different templates though) and are published from the same DataManager file, but obviously I don't want to be publishing the weekly reports every day as, among other things, they would clutter up my server.

So what I need to know is, is this possible? I have looked through the documentation and I find no mention anywhere of updating/publishing named blocks. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Scheduler: Launch from Desktop?

Hello,
We just upgraded to 2.8-beta b952. Where is the option to Edit tasks for the Scheduler? I only now see "Edit Settings" but cannot access the list of tasks. We are using the same config.xml file as before and this has content. Visokio Enterprise is running a service in the background.

Scheduler: SQL Server 2008 r2 database connection problem?

enrico68 — Thu, 30 May 2013 05:20:17 -0400

We just started to use Omniscope ServerPlus Edition Scheduler (running as a Windows Service) and during the refreshing of a iok file with data from a SQL Server 2008 r2 database, in the scheduler log file we got the following error message:

2013.05.30 11:00:36.083 Info: SCHEDULER LOG BEGUN

We had the same problem running Omniscope and we solved it adding the following line in the installconfig.properties file:

ADDITIONAL_JVM_ARGS=-Dvisokio.disableCustomProxySelector=true -DenableProxyDebug=true -Dvisokio.disableSystemProxies=true

Later we also tried to restart the Scheduler Windows service but nothing changed.

How to solve it? Do we also have to add this line to some scheduler configuration file?

Thanks

Scheduler: Set a task to repeat X times after X hours?

We currently have a need to set a task to repeat one more time after a certain time period. We need to choose that a task repeat a few times using the interval period.

Integration: Scheduling jobs on different machines?

Is it possible for Scheduler to launch a job on another PC on the network, so that the job runs using the copy of Omniscope on that second machine?

Scheduler: Task List admin improvements (2.8+)

From 2.8 b839, the Server/Scheduler Task List UI will include an "Enlarge" button which toggles between extra-large and normal Task List display size. This allows you to see longer task names and more tasks at once.
