I have a series of scheduled tasks that all run at various times of the day. Since the migration from Coldfusion version 7 to 10, these tasks have stopped running.
When I check the box, that outputs the results to a file, I get a text file that says nothing more than "Connection Failure". I have tried everything imaginable regarding the username and password for the task. It makes no difference. When I run the CFM page in my browser, the
page works correctly and generates an email just like it should. I just
can't make it run as a scheduled event.
Is the scheduled task folder has any check for the session or anything? I mean is the scheduled task folder is accessible without login? Please try with removing all the redirect rules for the application. That might work.
For me the requests were timing out. I increased the timeout in the administrator and that solved it. Doing a cfhttp in a test file and dumping the results helped me troubleshoot it.

I am executing a external job using DBMS_SCHEDULER through apex page by clicking a button in below manner.(Dynamic action=>Execute PlSql)
dbms_scheduler.run_job(job_name => 'APEXDATA.myJobName', use_current_session=> TRUE);
Its executing the external job correctly.(taking 1-2 minutes).My issue is that, in between the time while its executing i can not able to access any other page or can not able to login with new session nothing.showing below error in every task i am performing.
**503 Service Unavailable
The connection pool named: |apex|| is not correctly configured, due to the following error(s):
Exception occurred while getting connection: oracle.ucp.UniversalConnectionPoolException:
All connections in the Universal Connection Pool are in use**
Is this the general or known issue?if yes how to resolve the issue,because in same time other user also has to perform any other task or other may login same time.
Thank You.
I think you're mixing 2 things that hard to combine:
Dynamic actions are designed to submit code from the page without a page submit so the user can continue to work on the page after he has done something (eg run pl/sql code)
Running a process in the database that takes up the database session until it is completed ( use_current_session=> TRUE). Your dbms_scheduler.run_job process will run in the current session and as long as that job is running no other operations can be run in that database session (the connection is in use as shown in the error message).
Solutions:
use_current_session=> FALSE so the job runs in the background
In the dynamic action, set "Wait for result" to true, so the user is forced to wait until the job completes.
Execute the job on page submit which will also force the user to wait for the job to be completed.
Since your job takes 1-2 mins to complete, options 2 and 3 are probably not feasible because the user experience is not optimal. If you execute the job in the background, then you probably need to write some additional code to prevent the user from clicking a couple of times and submitting the job multiple times. You could do that by checking if the job is running before you submit it and not submit it if it is currently running.

I turned on profiling and monitoring and now I can see that there are requests that are stuck and cannot be terminated by the CF monitor; Some are over 200k seconds.
I know I can increase the number of simultaneous requests but I want to solve the underlying problem. As I read the stack traces of these “zombie requests” they are getting stuck on and some are in but some are not. I ran the query in my oracle client and they resolve instantly.
Is there a way to terminate these requests or prevent this from happening at all?
EDIT: The server monitor does not treat these requests as slow or hung, the alerts are not triggering for any of these. Honestly, they should have be going off constantly considering how many of these there are.
Also, the execution time is a mere .003 seconds so what happened? Why doesn't ColdFusion know this?
An example of a "zombie"
The active query that is stuck
We have a similar situation with a different database engine - redbrick, which runs on a unix server. We solved it as follows.
We set up a cron job on the database server to run every 5 minutes. This job uses a combination of unix and awk commands.
This job runs a query against the system table that looks for queries that have been running for more than 120 seconds, where the database account is the one used by ColdFusion. Records are outputted to a file. Something like this:
print "alter system cancel user command userName process " $1 ";"
$1 comes from the query and is the process Id we want to stop.
Then we run the file, which executes all those alter system commands.
With a different database engine, and possible different OS for the database server, the details would be different, but the approach should work.
Edit Starts Here
To prevent recurrence, look at the pages that call the ones with the long running queries. If impatient users are able to repeatedly click something because nothing is happening, do something about that. You can use javascript to make the link/button go away. Alternatively, you can go to an intermediate page with a display for the user and something that carries them through to the real page.
I have stop and restart services(Sharepoint Administration & Sharepoint Timer Service)
I cleaned the Configuration Cache by using mentioned steps.
Summary of the steps to clear the timer job:
Stop SharePoint Timer service on all servers in the farm.
Browse to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config{GUID} where the {GUID} folder contains a bunch of XML files and NOT the files with a “.PERSITEDFILE” extension.
Delete all the XML files
Update the contents of the Cache.ini file to just say “1” (without quotes).
Restart the SharePoint Timer service on each server
Reanalyze the issue in Health Analyzer
Does anyone know why this keeps occurring and how I can stop it?
First of all try and check your ULS Logs and see if there is any error that arise.
Secondly try and maybe check the event viewer on your SharePoint server to see if any errors are shown and make sure you have enough disk space available.
and also you might want to check this :Clearing Timer Services
Let me know if you see any error post it here.
hope it helps.
Yotam.
I have a particular scheduled task that CF claims runs every 2 minutes. However, it either doesn't run or complete since the database changes the task is supposed to perform do not occur after each run. However if I copy the exact same URL into a browser and run the script, it works 100% of the time.
I have no clue where to start debugging. There is no IP restriction on the page.
I can see in the CF Admin that it was last run at 2:06 for example and the next run will be at 2:08. I can also see it in the scheduler.log file.
We had updated our certs in IIS but didn't update our cacerts file. Once we did everything was great.
It was clear the process wasn't running when I added a line or two to email myself at the start of the task. The emails never came when the server ran the task but they did when I pinged the page. I changed the task to save the output to a log file and when I opened that up it just said "Connection Failure". This led me to some googling and some talk about certificates which made me remember that we just updated ours recently. Looking back at my emails with IT it did indeed happen on the same day that the last emails in the mailsent.log were sent from these scheduled tasks.
