I want to test a portion of my website to see if it is running by executing a SQL server agent job. my site logs every time someone loads the login page. What I would like to do is launch:
https://www.example.com/Main/main_dir.wp1
after a few seconds run
SELECT * FROM dbo.TR_Weblog where DATEDIFF(MINUTE, date_time, getdate()) < 1
If there are no entries the site is down.
How do I launch a URL from inside agent?
IMO, this isn't an appropriate use of SQL Agent; it's not a general purpose task scheduler.
If you're going use Agent though...
I would advise against doing it the way #TheGameiswar suggests, as it will leave orphaned iexplore.exe processes on your SQL Server box, and there are situations where it won't even start properly - causing the process to stall out.
Instead, make your first step one of type PowerShell, and run the following command from it:
invoke-restmethod -URL YOURURLHERE
However, this will not parse/execute any JavaScript on the page, nor load any images. It'll just pull the raw HTML returned by the page when loaded.
But even this is a bit of a Rube Goldberg method of monitoring your website's availability when there are purpose-built applications/tools and services to do exactly that.
You can just select command type as cmd type and then use below url..
#START http://bing.com/
further ,you don't have any control after launch.So I think the best way is to do a periodic check of iis logs using log parser and see status

Pretty much what the title says. I've been working on tweaking one of my servers and getting things running more smoothly and had to peek into the error logs the other day. When I did, I noticed that they're absolutely chock-full of records of successful logins, mostly from either the user that's running the SQL service or from a user running a service on another machine that refreshes its connection a couple times a minute. (I do plan to look at that service to see if I can do something about how it's managing its connection, but that's a separate deal.) I don't want to turn off logging for these events entirely, but I'd like to explore options for separating them so I can chase down other issues without having to wade through them all. What's my best course of action here?
To make explicit #charlieface's recommendation above, here's a quick powershell script to change the audit level. It uses the excellent dbatools powershell module.
# use your instance name instead of '.'
$s = Connect-DbaInstance -SqlInstance .;
$s.AuditLevel = 'Failure';
$s.Alter();
Valid values for the AuditLevel enum can be found here.
I'm wondering is there a way to recognize the OfflineComamd is being executed or internal flag or something to represent this command has been passed or mark it has been executed successfully. I have issue in recognizing the command is passed or not with unstable internet. I keep retrieve the records from database and comparing each and every time to see this has been passed or not. But due to the flow of my application, I'm finding it very difficult to avoid duplicates.IS there any automatic process to make sure commands executed automatically or something else?
2nd question, I can use UITimer to check isOffline() to make sure internet is connected or not on the forms. Is there something equivalent on server page or where queries is written to see internet is disconnected or not. When the control moved to queries and internet is disconnected I see the dialog open from form page being frozen for unlimited time and will not end. I have to close and re-open the app to continue the synchronization process.At the same time I cannot set a timeout for dialog because I'm not sure how long it will take the complete the Synchronization process. Please advise.
Extending on the same topic but I have created a new issue just to give more clarity on my questions.
executeOfflineCommand skips a command while executing from storage on Android
There is no way to know if a connection will stay stable as it requires knowledge of the future. You can work like transaction services do where the server side processes an offline command as a transaction using the approach of 2-phase commit.
In this approach you have an algorithm similar to this:
Client sends command to server
Server returns a special unique ID for the command
Client asks server to perform the unique id
Server acknowledges that the command was performed
If the first 2 stages didn't complete you just do that again. The worst thing that could happen is some orphan commands on the server.
If the 3rd option didn't complete you just do it again. The server knows whether it processed the command and will just acknowledge it if it was already processed.
I have several HTTP callouts that are in a schedulable and set to run ever hour or so. After I deployed the app on the app exchange and had a salesforce user download it to test, it seems the jobs are not executing.
I can see the jobs are being scheduled to run accordingly however the database never seems to change. Is there any reason this could be happening or is there a good chance the flaw lies in my code?
I was thinking that it could be permissions however I am not sure (its the first app I am deploying).
Check if the organisation of your end user has added your endpoint to "remote site settings" in the setup. By endpoint I mean an address that's being called (or just the domain).
If the class is scheduled properly (which I believe would be a manual action, not just something that magically happens after installation... unless you've used a post-install script?) you could also examine Setup -> Apex Jobs and check if there are any errors. If I'm right, there will be an error about callout not allowed due to remote site settings. If not - there's still a chance you'll see something that will make you think. For example batch job has executed successfully but there were 0 iterations -> problem?
Last but not least - you can always try the debug logs :) Enable them in Setup (or open the developer console), fire the scheduled class's execute() manually and observe the results? How to fire it manually? Sth like this pasted to "execute anonymous":
MySchedulableClass sched = new MySchedubulableClass();
sched.execute(null);
Or - since you know what's inside the scheduled class - simply experiment.
Please note that if the updates you might be performing somehow violate for example validation rules your client has - yes, the database will be unchanged. But in such case you should still be able to see failures in Setup -> Apex Jobs.
I have MySql database for my application. i implemented solr search and used dataimporthandler(DIH)to index data from database into solr. my question is: is there any way that if database gets updated then my solr indexes automatically gets update for new data added in the database. . It means i need not to run index process manually every time data base tables changes.If yes then please tell me how can i achieve this.
I don't think there is a possibility in Solr which lets you index the data when any updates happens to DB.
But there could be possibilities like, with the help of Triggers - there is a possibility to run an external application from triggers.
Write a CRON to trigger PHP script which does reading from the DB and indexing it in Solr. Write a trigger (which calls this script) for CRUD operation and dump it into DB, so, whenever something happens to DB, this trigger will call the above script and indexing could happen.
Please see:
Invoking a PHP script from a MySQL trigger
Automatic Scheduling:
Please see this post How can I Schedule data imports in Solr for more information on scheduling. The second answer, explains how to import using Cron.
Since you used a DataImportHandler to initially load your data into Solr... You could create a Delta Import Handler that is executed using curl from a cron job to periodically add changes in the database to the index. Also, if you need more real time updates, as #Rakesh suggested, you could use a trigger in your database and have that kick off the curl call to the Delta DIH.
you can import the data using your browser and task manager.
do the following steps on windows server...
GO to Administrative tools => task Schedular
Click "Create Task"
Now a screen of Create Task will be open with the TAB
General,Triggers,Actions,Conditions,Settings.
In the genral tab enter the task name "Solrdataimport" and in discriptions enter "Import mysql data"
Now go to Triggers tab CLick new in Setting check Daily.In Advanced setting Repeat task every ... Put time there whatever you want.click OK
Now go to Actions button click new Button IN setting put Program/Script "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" this is the installation path of chrome browser.In the Add Arguments enter http://localhost:8983/solr/#/collection1/dataimport//dataimport?command=full-import&clean=true And click OK
Using the all above process Data import will Run automatically.In case of Stop the Imort process follow the all above process just change the Program/Script "taskkill" in place of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" under Actions Tab In arguments enter "f /im chrome.exe"
Set the triggers timing according the requirements
What you're looking for is a "delta-import", and a lot of the other posts have information about that covered. I created a Windows WPF application and service to issue commands to Solr on a recurring schedule, as using CRON jobs and Task Scheduler is a bit difficult to maintain if you have a lot of cores / environments.
https://github.com/systemidx/SolrScheduler
You basically just drop in a JSON file in a specified folder and it will use a REST client to issue the commands to Solr.
I've got a winforms app that I developed to do batch processing on tens of thousands of students, now we're trying to run it nightly as a scheduled task.
I personally find it useful to be able to login to the box and see how it's processing by looking at the GUI, though the standard way it to convert it into a commandline app.(which radically limits the amount of screen realestae I can use for loggin messages)
Can I run the app as a schedueld task, the IT Guy whos scheduling says it's not running because it's a winform app. Are there any tricks needed to get it to run well, or am I forced to rewrite it as a commandline app with it's 80 char width limit.
Basicaly I just echo the log file to the screen in realtime to make debugging issues easier. So the gui is output only.
Its' running as the currently loggedin user, but the issue is that it does not run if the user is not currently logged in on the box,so when we leave for the night it fails to run.
Thanks,
Eric-
You need to make sure it is running as the currently logged in account. If it runs as 'system' I don't think it will show up correctly.
I have one of these myself... and despise it. It only exists because I haven't had a chance to rewrite it into a proper service. Don't forget there are more ways to log than just outputting to the console. ;)
