Taskcentre: Can a task be triggered from iMIS WCM page

Hi,

In IMIS 15.2.1.3282 can a taskcentre task be triggered from a link/button on a page that is hosted by iMIS WCM?

i.e. wondering if user can click link and have their membership certificate emailed to the email address we have on record for them?

Thanks,

Scott

 

Has anyone yet reached their maximum number of Tasks in TC?

You may have or may not have been aware, but there is a limit of 25 tasks you can build in an out of the box TC implementation.  You can buy more of course, but I was curious to find out who may have hit this limitation and how fast?  Would you mind sharing how you worked around your issues if you did run into this limitation?

Crystal Report Errors in TaskCentre with - Error returned from Crystal Reports - (0x80020009)

I have a Crystal 9 report that is a dues receipt and yesterday after setting up the task, testing it several times and then running it manually once I set the schedule for the report and expected that dues receipts for payments received from yesterday would be sent to all of our members.  This did not happen.  Today I see in the event log this message Error returned from Crystal Reports - (0x80020009).  The same message is displayed to me even when I attempt to run the task with the Queue Now option.  Does anyone have any knowledge of this error and how they resolved it?  I have already tried using a different user name and password, something simpler, resetting all the login information (the event log reports that logging into the tables on the server is file as it starts to load the crystal report).  In fact, the event viewer tells me that the report is loading and then the error occurs.  here are a couple of the messages in order.

TaskCentre task to move event registrations to activity when reg status is changed, without closing the event

We have a client who requires the ability to move an event registration from the order order_lines, etc. tables into activity whenever they update the status of the registration to anything other than blank (default).  All of the event functions are no fee & they don't need to worry about the closing event process.  Some events remain open for 12 months so they need to be able to pull reports & queries from a single source (i.e. either the registration or activity).

Task Centre's maintenance mode

Clients tasks had stopped running and when I tried launching a test task manually, I got a message the server was in maintenance mode and the task could not be started.

Do you know how to get it out of this mode? I've never known it to be in this mode in the past.

Task stuck in loop

Very strange occurence here.  We have a task that fires and completes successfully at times.  Other times it fires but gets stuck in a loop and causes the tempdb to grow too large and eats up all the server disk space.

Here's the error:

Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.CWT'.'CWT_PrimaryKey' in database 'tempdb' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.

Any idea what CWT in the tempdb is referring to?

TaskCentre steps not working correctly

I'm having a real problem with an initial task that I wanted to see if this community had any help.

The task is rather complex and involves 2 Decision steps.  The last one has about 6 branches it has to evaluate.  The way it works is initially a trigger fires then a query fires to only pickup certain transactions.  In one example, i purchase 3 different products and the Decision step is supposed to send out 3 different emails with a number of pre-defined attachments.  What is happening is the Decision step is only working for the 1st product code its finding and sending 3 emails of the same product code.

TaskCentre Run Program problem

I cannot get the Run Program tool to do anything. I will try to make this as simple as possible.

After I started having problems I created a task called test program tool. All it does is run one batch file in the C: drive called test.bat which renames a file.

If I just browse to it in Run Program, it fails saying it cannot locate c:\test.bat.

If I add double-quotes around it like "c:\test.bat" it does not error, but does not rename the file.

The batch file is on a terminal server with the TaskCentre client.

Can Run Program only run programs on the server where TaskCentre Server resides? I am trying to run a .net program in the iMIS app server, and the TaskCentre server is on the SQL server.

I really am trying to run a createuser.exe file that takes one parameter, ID. I tried that at c:\Program Files (x86)\ASI\iMIS15\net\bin\createusers.exe and it either failed if not in quotes or acted like it executed in quotes. Same as the simple batch file. The program works when executed at the command line.

The exe takes just one parameter no output, input dialogs or anything. It does output a success message at the command line, but the program is done by then.

In any case, the simple batch file should work, a. What are the tricks to getting this to work?

Help!

Starting a new task using a crystal report

Hi to all,

We have a crystal report that a user runs every month. It is a standard iMIS crystal report (within the Event Module) called Function Roster. This report when run in iMIS requires the user to select options. First selection group is about event, In our case, the user must select the AdHoc Search radio button. When the list of available AdHoc searches window opens, user selects the AdHoc search Begin Date. The AdHoc Search is configured as from Meet_Master.BEGIN_DATE >= 07/01/2011 (date is just an example). The second set of selection after Event is Print Options. In this set, the Include Cancelled checkbox must be checked.

TaskCentre logging to troubleshoot, trigger not executing

I have couple of simple triggers on a particular field on the database but when testing them they don't fire.
I double checked everything and it all seems fine. One of them used to be working even few weeks ago and now it wouldn't fire.
I checked the database and triggers are there. Event Log shows creation of triggers. It's just that when the value is changed in the DB they don't fire.
I checked thy all the services are up and running including SQL trigger in the database server.
