Subject: [iMS] Scheduler Problems
Howie,
I've
been having the hardest time getting the scheduler application for IMS 2.2 SE
to work, are there any common problems which would cause it not to work?
I've set the GetEvents.cfm and EventsDone.cfm templates in the C:\Ims\Domains
folder and the Time.cfm and Cal.cfm files (not the zipped ones) into my Custom
Tag dir. If I run the test.cfm template from the Address line it works
fine, but the scheduler never seems to kick it off. Anyhow, 3 quick
?'s
1)
I'm using a SQL server database, rather than the included Access. Could
this be the culprit?
No, because the scheduler uses the same schema as
the other iMS servers. That is, the server only calls templates and what
you do in the templates is entirely up to you - which is why we can run
FusionMail on top of iMS and other clients run completely different code and
use different DBs and App servers as well.
2)
Did you ever find out why the Scheduler Service doesn't show up in the
services tab for Ims 2.2 SE?
No but we're coming out in a few days with an
update to 2.2 and we'll address that issue in that release.
3)
In you Scheduler PDF docs, in the "Scheduler Settings" box, the Template
Directory doesn't have a trailing backslash, while the Log File Directory
does. Is this the proper way to set this up? Should they both
have/not have trailing backslashes?
It doesn't matter - the server will set up the
slashes if they are not there.
Is your scheduler finding and calling the
getevents template? You should see this kind of information in the log
file.
Regards,
Howie
