ICS Ad Hoc Rendition Job

Finn Mejding
Offline

Hi,

I have inherited a configuration done by another user and I am unable to read this information anywhere in the documentation, so I am relying on the wise users in this forum.

The Question is regarding the job definition for ad hoc renditions for ICS.

When I Create a rendition from my ProjectWise Explorer by right-clicking on a dgn file and selecting Submit, a job is submitted and queued on the Orchestration Framework Server.

I can see the job in the OF Administrator module, but the job is stucked in Idle mode.

I have, by editing the job in OFA, found that the "Input Files" tab is set to a saved search and not my selected dgn file.

Is there any configuration variable that set this value?

How do I find this default setting so I can change it ?

It is obviously wrong the Input File tab for the job in OFA, should have shown a path to a single file and not a saved search.

Have anyone in here any idea where to find the definition?

Thanks in advanced

Finn

    Hi Finn,

    I think that you see the job in OFA that has been created manually in OFA, but not the job that you've created from PW Explorer. And that is why you think that your input file was changed to saved search. Could you tell me what is the name of the job that you see in OFA ? the jobs created from PW Explorer are named with the date and user name in brackets e.g. 2014-12-03 17:05:05 (admin)

    Hi Arturas

    No, that is not the problem.

    I see the job created through PW Explorer in OFA and it is named something like: 2014-12-04 08:29:42 (pwadmin) but the content of the Input Files tab is not the file I selected in PW Explorer and did the "Create Rendition" on, instead it show a saved search. The Input File tab should have listed the path to my dgn file but is show the saved search: Documents for Review. witch at one time have existed on the system, but was deleted a long time ago.

    I have a scheduled job running I OFA and this is working fine. This job runs a saved search to find all approved documents in a specific folder and creates pdf's of these documents. What I want Is the same functionality run manually by the users on a single file, so they don't have to wait for the scheduled job to run (runs at night).

    Really strange things going on then if this saved search (Documents for Review) was deleted a long time ago and still appears in OFA.

    Could you please try to create rendition of the file which do not match saved search 'Documents for Review' criteria?
    Also what is destination folder for renditions? is it in the same datasource or different from source files?

    Which PW iCS version is installed on the server?

    Regards,

    The dgn file I try to create the rendition for manually match, as far as I can see, not the criteria for the saved search, as the workflow state of the file was "Approved", but I cannot tell for sure as the search don't exists anymore :-)
    The destination folder for the rendition (both automatically and manually) is a folder containing only PDF's and is read-only for ordinary users.
    The ICS version is 08.11.11.574

    Have you tried to create job from PW Explorer a couple of times? do you see the same amount of jobs in OFA with the same 'saved search' criteria then?

    And if you delete all those jobs from OFA it reappears the next time you start the job from PW Explorer? If so, have you tried restarting OF service. Maybe some job is stuck (or cached somehow) and everytime you run the job it takes only the first one from the queue, which is the one that stuck.
