Hi
I'm getting the following error when I try to schedule a fex file through Report Caster.
Schedule ID: S12mqr1nki29, Job Description: FOCUS_PROD_all Completed with errors/warnings Task error:Pcb2.: java.io.EOFException No report to distribute.

Any suggestions to debug? FYI the same fex file works perfectly fine if I move it to a different folder in the same environment/server.

Regards
Syed

Please note that the same fex file(scheduled through the Report Caster) works perfectly fine when I restrict the data to a lesser quantity.
is there any size limit of the FOCUS file which can be created by scheduling the Report though Report Caster?

Off hand the length number escapes me, but the amount of data being returned is limited only to what the server can stand to my knowledge. Have you tried recreating the caster job in the same area? Haven't seen the error your getting in some time, pre 5.3.6 world.

I removed the earlier job and created a new one on Report Caster. I got the same error.
We are moving into production and this has become a show stopper issue for us!!
Please advise.

Hi Sayed,

Please verify if the folder from where you are getting the error is in the application path or no.

strange that you don't get the error all the time. ReportCaster expects a resulting file to distribute. If you're only creating a hold file, there is nothing to distribute and I would EXPECT the error that you are receiving. RC (without some additional work) can only distribute a file in PDF,Excel, PS, etc.If you just say ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT FOCUS, nothing is sent back to the distribution engine. You would have to manually code an additional procedure to copy/move/send or whatever. Did you check an see if the hold file was created anyway? It may be there, even though the job finished with an error.


Regards,

Darin

Sorry joining this one a little late, bu here goes.
RCaster runs scheduled jobs, using WebFOCUS Reporting Server agents. One of the agents most likely is 'abending' (crashing), as it needs more cpu time than allocated. Easy enough to fix if this is your problem.
1. Get on WF Reporting Server webconsole
2. Select Workspace ->
3. Select Configuration -> Services -> DEFAULT.
4. Select cpu_limit (time agent must run in).
Change this nuerical value for a given
agent to a much highter value.
Note: if you see a '-1' -- this is the
default value; it means unlimited.

Hope this helps you....

Hi
Thanks for your responses!! I have been able to nail down on the root cause based on your suggestions - The Report Caster was getting timed out after 1 hr which was causing WebFOCUS to throw the Java Exception. I had to split up my FOCUS file into 5 different FOCUS files based on month. Then I scheduled all these 5 different fex programs in parallel using Report Caster. The FOCUS database is getting created but I have 1 concern.

We are having ON TABLE HOLD AS ABC FORMAT FOCUS kind of code in all the 5 fex files - please note that the hold file name remains the same in all of them. Will this cause any issue with the data in the FOCUS files? Is it possible that the FOCUS file for one of the fex file is referred to by another fex file running in parallel? I am not using APP PATH xyz for the FOCUS file ABC.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Syed
