RE: grrrrr ... CFSchedule
Here's the cfscheduler log: "Information","956","01/03/03","12:35:57",,"Scheduled task 'inserts8_clean_up' for URL request 'http://localhost/vcrecruitment/admin/inserts/qry_cleanup.cfm' initiated."

(just the last of the eight tasks the "ran") Nothing happened. None of the expected actions actually took place. I set timeouts this time and I set enddate/endtime.

RE: grrrrr ... CFSchedule -- new question
OK ... I've the service Cold Fusion Application Server must pass a username/password to the shared network drive, is that sufficient for CFSchedule, or is there another service that needs a password set up? Or should it be set up in the tag/administrator? What is the Cold Fusion Management Service? Should that have password access to the server, same as the CFAS? What about the Executive, or RDS or any of the other CF services?

And assuming your are not running the English (Australia)n version there were indeed problems with CFSHEDULE, at least in the Administrator. These were apparently fixed in the latest update.

RE: grrrrr ... CFSchedule
I have been using probes for all my scheduled tasks since moving up to MX. Probes are under tools in CF5, but I don't know if they offer the same functionality. I realize of course they are probably the same underlying engine - but for some reason, I have not experienced any problem with probes even though they are the same tasks as were not being run as scheduled tasks. Well I have seen one problem - or quirk: probes that I have long since deleted still show up as failing in the MX Application log. I should figure out why, but keeps getting pushed to the back burner given that everything seems to be working fine. -j -Original Message- From: Robert Bailey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 3:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: gr ...

RE: grrrrr ... CFSchedule
I have had some errors in logic when using the scheduler. Remember that it is a new request and some things in your code may not be available if not coded properly. i.e. if you are using the same page that a 'logged in' client would use, there might be session variables set by the login process that the page needs, etc. Other than that, I d'know.

Re: grrrrr ... CFSchedule
Have you run the url directly and gotten the desired result? If yes, then do the following. Write a CFHTTP to call the page and check the results. The internals of CFSCHEDULE use CFHTTP to do the work so if CFHTTP fails, the entire thing fails. > I first tried using CFSchedule a couple of years ago ... when I was still > running CF 4.01 on a 4.0 SP4 NTWS.
