Hi,
I have created a schedule which executes a FEX procedure and creates a XFOCUS file at a destination folder.
While executing the schedule i am facing the below error.

Task error: IBFSException 32027: local error


WF 8105
Windows 10

Does the fex run live?
How many BY fields do you have in the fex?
Does the fex work if you change the HOLD FORMAT?

Does this work if you run it outside of ReportCaster. I saw several cases on techsupport but they were related to bursting and using excel or xml as output none about creating a focus file.

The FEX runs successfully by itself.
I face the error only when i schedule it.
Also I forgot to mention that the XFOCUS will be created in a shared network drive and not inside the webFOCUS repository.
We do that using APP MAP

What'll happen if you schedule a fex that creates an XFOCUS using a sample table like WF_RETAIL? Will that work? If that works perhaps the problem has something to do with the size of the answer set or the data itself. Either way, I'm pretty sure you'll need to open a tech support case so IB folks can review your log files since this sounds very specific to your fex.

The issue with my schedule was that the parameters passed from the schedule ran into infinite loop.correcting that solved the issue.Now,I am facing another issue where i couldn't access my foccache tables when i run the procedure through ReportCaster. Is there a way to fix this.

I just created this fex and it worked fine with ReportCaster. Try it on your environment.


TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
BY CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY CAR.COMP.CAR
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS foccache/carhold FORMAT ALPHA
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
TABLE FILE CARHOLD
SUM
CARHOLD.CARHOLD.DEALER_COST
CARHOLD.CARHOLD.RETAIL_COST
BY CARHOLD.CARHOLD.COUNTRY
BY CARHOLD.CARHOLD.CAR
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLEMBEDIMG ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END


Hi Chuck,
When i schedule the fex which has hold to foccache and the next table request it works fine.what i am trying to do it the foccache tables are created using other procedure which gets created when the user logins into the portal and then the schedule runs with the procedure which uses the foccache tables.

Siva

foccache is based on a user session so each user gets his own set of files. ReportCaster starts its own session so the foccache you are hoping to use is not available. You may have to use a app folder which should work as long as the data is not user specific.

Unfortunately in my case the data needs to be user specific.
I will try some other approach.

Thanks for your help Chuck.

Siva

One other thought, With ReportCaster you can have a pre-execution procedure. Maybe you can run your user specific fex there to create your foccache files there.

Thank you for the suggestion Chuck.
I am creating the schedule with RESTful WebServices. I am not familiar with adding pre procedures to the schedules using RESTful WebServices.
I am thinking of including labels in my fex procedure one for ReportCaster and one for normal execution.
Under ReportCaster label i will include the fex files to create the foccache files.
