I use SMART Folder to get email notifications if jobs inside that folder changed their status to failed.
When an email notification is sent I need to get the name of the failing job inside the SMART folder.
Is there a way to get information about failed jobs inside SMART folder via some variables?
I tried %%SCHEDTAB and %%JOBNAME but this only relates to the SMART folder and not the failing job inside.
On Do Action in SMART folder
Monitoring view example of SMART table with failed job
You can set the alert to go from individual jobs instead. I often just have a standardised post-proc panel for the job that generates an alert using local variables, e.g. -
%%JOBNAME failed on %%NODEID with code = %%COMPSTAT.. This is a %%APPLGROUP job running on the %%APPLIC system.

Would you know how to run a background task on Symfony 4, based on the setup of a form ? This would avoid that the user has to remain on the form until the task is finished.
The idea would be that when the form is validated, it starts an independant background task. Then the user can continue its navigation and come back once the task is finished to get the results.
Thanks for your help,
You need to use pattern Message Bus. Symfony has own implementation of this pattern since version 4.1 introducing Messenger Component.
You can see documentation here: https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/messenger.html
To get it work you need some external program that will implement AMQP protocol. Most popular in PHP world IMHO RabbitMQ.
A very simple solution for this could be the following procedure:
Form is valid.
A temporary file is created.
Cronjob gets executed every five minutes and starts a symfony command.
The command checks if the file exists and if it's empty.
If so, the command works of the background task. But before this, the command write it's process id in the file to prevent from beeing excuted a second time.
Remove the file when the command has finished.
As long as the file exists you can show a hint for the user that the task is running.
I need to notify an email distribution list if one or more jobs inside a folder is failed. I don't need any details about which job failed, but only a one-liner notification.
We have configured email shouts in our Control-M jobs configuration at a folder level. It's configured as follows:
Under 'Actions' tab, inside 'Notifications after job completion' section
The condition reads like this: When Folder Ended Not OK Send Notification to <our email shout destination>
However, it's not raising any shouts in case any one of the job fails, because even if the folder is marked in red colour, the folder status isn't set to 'Not OK' due to other pending jobs. One way to achieve this is to configure shout for all jobs inside that folder.
Is there any way we can set a shout at folder level if any one of the jobs in the folder fails?
If you use a smart folder you can create an 'on-do action' to achieve this.
The logic would be: On 'Folder's number of Failures = 1' Do 'Notify' Destination 'Mail'
We have an SSIS package that is run via a SQLAgent job. We are initiating the job (via sp_startjob) from within an ASP.NET web page. The user that is logged onto the UI needs to be logged with the SSIS package that the user initiates - hence we require the userId to be passed to the SSIS package. The issue is we cannot pass parameters to sp_startjob.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved and/or know of an alternative to the above approach
It cannot be done through sp_startjob. You can't pass a parameter to a job step so that option is out.
If you have no concern about concurrency, and given that you can't have the same job running at the same time, you could probably hack it by changing your job step from type SQL Server Integration Services to something like a OS Command. Have the OS Command called a batch script that the web page creates/modifies. Net result being you start your package like dtexec.exe /file MyPackage /Set \Package.Variables[User::DomainUser].Properties[Value];\"Domain\MyUser\" At this point, the variable DomainUser in your package would have the value of Domain\MyUser.
I don't know your requirements so perhaps you can just call into the .NET framework and start your package from the web page. Although you'd probably want to make sure that call asynchronously. Otherwise unless your SSIS package is very fast, the users might try and navigate away, spam refresh etc waiting for it to the page to "work".
All of this by the way is simply pushing a value into an SSIS package. In this case, a user name. It doesn't pass along their credentials so calls to things like SYSTEM_USER would report the SQL Agent user account (or the operator of the job step).
I've got a new production computer and installed my BizTalk app on there. The problem is that I don't see any messages in the event log, nor from my BizTalk app or BizTalk Server itself. The only message that appears in the event log is the following:
The following BizTalk host instance has initialized successfully.
BizTalk host name: BizTalkServerApplication
Windows service name: BTSSvc$BizTalkServerApplication
The source of that message is BizTalk Server. And no messages at all, even no logs about errors which I suppose already took place.
Just a quick thought incase you are still having problems.
I tried to write to the event log with a source type that didnt already exist and my BizTalk Host user account didn’t have permissions to create a new source type. This meant I never saw the entry in the event log.
E.g. (from example #Bill Osuch)
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MyBiztalkApp", "oh i did something");
Make sure either the MyBiztalkApp source exists or that your user has permissions on the event log to create it.
Also, if you have a lot of messages going through BizTalk you will probably want to implement your own logging so your event log doesn’t fill up. We used Log4Net for our implementation and a database to store messages.
If you're not getting any errors (suspended messages) as the messages process, you're not going to see anything in the app log. You could try adding an Expression shape to your orchestration and manually writing out some debug info:
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("event type", "whatever...");
Does your application actually use the BiztalkServerApplication host? Check in the Biztalk Administration Console if all the host instances are indeed running. Is your application fully started? Messages are "put on hold" if your receive location is disabled for example.
To check this functionality, write to event log after every operation or shape in BizTalk orchestration.
Scenario-
Suppose you have to assigned a value to xpath of node in a map after transformation so in message assignment shape after you assign some value, you can write eventlog to admin console.
Ex. Suppose we have already initialized - "orderType" as "PO" in our expression shape and now we have to assign the value of "orderType" to the xpath of a node in our map then-
Shape- MessageAssignment(Under constructMessage Shape after transformation of map)
xpath(msgGetOrderReq, "/[local-name()='CustomerOrders' and namespace-uri()='http://example.com/EAI/IEmployee/v1.0']/[local-name()='ordertype' and namespace-uri()='http://example.com/EAI/IEmployee/v1.0']") = ordertype;
Next to this we want to print this information on the admin console so we need to write:-
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("msgGetOrderReq", ordertype, msgGetOrderReq);
Build the project, Deploy and GAC it. Restart the host instance. Run the orchestration, process something and now you will be able to see the logs in admin console.

Having a question on how the build queue is configured in CC.net.
I believe we have an issue , when trying to “force” build a scheduled project, the server tries to run several builds at the same time and fails
Most of them except the one that started first.
We need to get to a state when regardless how many builds are scheduled or how many we “force” start in about the same time, all build requests are placed in to a build queue and
executed one after finishing another in the order they were placed, and no extra request are generated.
Build Failed email is sent but the build was actually successful.
In short,The erroneous email is likely due to an error in the build server’s build scheduler/queue, trying to run 2 builds instead of one when asked for a “forced” build, as a result the first one is successful and the second one fails.
How to correct/resolve this issue....?
Thanks
Nilesh
To specify your projects' queue you need to set the queue property like this :
<project name="MyFirstProject" queue="Q1" queuePriority="1">
The default value is a queue per project. If you manually set the same queue (for example Q1) for all you project then, you will have a unique queue.
As for the queuePriority, the project (not yet started) in the queue are ordonned by queuePriority, low queuePriority projects start first.
It's all described in the cc net documentation which is now offline due to a problem at sourceforge.
