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 Arturas
    After doing some manual debugging, I found out that some paths to some of the Processors in OFA was wrong.
    It looked like the database table has been imported from the production servers database to the test servers database.
    In some of the records in the table the servename was the name of the production server and not the testserver.
    I cleaned this up and now the on-demand rendition job is run as soon as it is created on the server.

    The lesson learned here is: never copy database table across databases but create them through the installation kit.

    Hi,

    You can increase the logging by updating OrchFwrkLogging.config file on your server in this directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\OrchestrationFramework.  Find attached file.OrchFwrkLogging.zip

    Hi Arturas,
    I have now tried to restart the OF service and the integration server itself, but this had made no different.
    Can you tell me how to increase the logging on the OF, so I can get more info?

    The job should always start automatically when submitting from PW Explorer. I think you should be looking in initial problem because I don't think there is some way to ensure that those jobs run automatically.
    In first place I would try restarting OF service. If that doesn't make any difference then restart the server. If the issue will still occur then need to increase OF logging and see if there is more information on the issue.

    Hi Arturas
    The server version is: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Version 6.1 (build 7601).

    After doing some more investigation, I have discovered that if I manually submit the job in OFA anyway (even if the source is a saved search that do not exists anymore) there is actually created a pdf of the dgn submitted. Strange, but it works, and I can live with that. I checked the database to se what was written in the table dbo.rendscvJobInputSet and there was the right URL to the dgn file I created the rendition for.

    The last problem I have with this ad hoc rendition is that the job isn't starting automatically, and since it have the date and time as its name, I cannot schedule the job.
    How do I ensure that the job actually runs on the OF server?
