Scheduler does not work with macro

Post by feltensteingw » Wed Jan 18, 2006 11:59 pm

I have a simple macro that logs into a web page and downloads a file.
The macro is being called in a batch file, which has been throughly tested and works fine.

When running the batch file with windows scheduler, however, the macro does not work. In the macro log, I'm getting the error:

ERROR: ERROR: Website did not respond (timeout)
STOP: TRAC2ES.iim
Macro stopped after error -322


Everything else in the batch file works. Any ideas?

Do you you use the RUNAS feature of the task scheduler? You need to run IIM as regular user.

I am seeing the same errors. The macro runs fine interactivly and from command line. I get timeouts when downloading - only when it is run from the scheduler.

Do you have any tpe of ETA on a patch? The workaround does not solve the problem in my case.

It's currently running under an administrator account. Would it make a difference if I ran it under another account?

KB905915 is not installed on the machine in question. It's running 2003 server with service pack 1.

Anything else I can try? Other work arounds? I was paid to write this, so I have to deliver.

hey cfwebmasters,
Are you receiving the same error in the macro log?

ERROR: ERROR: Website did not respond (timeout)
STOP: TRAC2ES.iim
Macro stopped after error -322

Or are you getting something different?

Just trying to figure out if our issue is exactly the same. Which OS & Patch are you using?

Thanks! Guy

Something similar.. heres an excert from the log...

1/18/2006 4:05:33 PM javascript:open_browser(%20'popdown.asp?file=weeklya&acct=268'); 0||||
1/18/2006 4:05:33 PM http://www.seisystems.com/popdown.asp?f ... a&acct=268 0|save_listing|||
1/18/2006 4:06:33 PM Internal timeout. If this causes a problem during replay, please increase the general timeout.


No matter what I make the timeout it always fails. (run from the command line the file downloads fine in less than 45seconds).
