A user has a report that they have set up weeks ago that started emailing her this error on Saturday. The error has occured 3 of the past 5 days.

there's reportcasts that run before and after it without issue, and there is nothing special about this report. Anyone have ideas?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

We have that error occasionaly and I've been given several theories as to why it occured...usually something was trying to access something at the same time. We usually just re-run and it's fine. I'm sure someone may have a more technical reason....

the report is based over a single table, which has no data processing (insert, updates, or deletes) on it after 2:00am, and the report in question is called at 7:00am.
we also have other reports based over the same table on this db2 database.

Task error:ibi.jlink.EdaPcb: Pcb2.: ibi.ngxxj.NGException: local error
Seems to be some communication timeout between caster and the server
Got this when Resource Annihilator, sorry Resource Analyser, was activated on batch jobs. It occurred at random points in the job.
Disabled Resource Analyser and now it is not abending again probably because it does not have the time overhead of RA collecting statistics.This message has been edited. Last edited by: hammo1j,

Hi, we seem to have also this intermittent problem when running scheduled reports with ReportCaster.
We checked and Resource Analyser is not activated.
When it fails, we can run it again and it might work. When it doesn't and you compare the log sent by Caster with the first failed one, the error appears in a different line in the code... and so on.
Thanks for any input,

I know this is an older post, but for the recent comments, here's what we found. We also had this happen occasionally - especially when we had a lot of jobs that were running simultaneously or several that included pre- and/or post-processing steps. Being unable to determine why or get a straight-up answer from techsupport, we started through the Distribution server settings. One that we found that seemed to make a difference was the "Hold Connection" setting which was originally NO and we switched to YES, (This is under Report Caster - Server Configuration>>General>>Repository>>Hold Connection.
Here's what the RC Admin manual says about it:
YES - The database connection is kept open throughout the execution of the schedule, including obtaining Address Book information and writing information to the log files. NO - The database connection is dropped before executing the schedule. A new connection is made after the schedule is executed to obtain Address Book information and write information to the log files.

Darin

Thanks Darin for the quick answer. I have checked with my RC Admin and the HOLD CONNECTION is already set to YES. We have set it to NO and we still get the same behavior.
Any other suggestions?

Hi everyone. Gonna jump in to add to this issue with a different variation I have been experiencing a similar problem with rc: random, intermittent errors (the hardest to figure out). Maybe the workaround I came up with can assist you. We have rcaster jobs that ran for 2 years with no hitches. Suddenly, an OS tech level upgrade from 05 to 08 took place. IB says no reported bugs related. What I have come to learn is scheduling my reports a minute or two apart has alleviated this isssue (workaround? yes. solution? no!). We get socket exceptions, and other (several) different exceptions. Errors are intermittent, random etc. (the toughest to track down). I have a case opened with ib and I have run all kinds of traces, saw nothing other than the job starts and just goes on. Vendor concurs. i was asked if I could possibly recreate situation in a simplified fashion. So I did by creating 2 simple rcaster schedules: 1: table file car print country end 2: table file car print car by country end so for now I am still investigating The key - run them simulataneously - error occurs. run them a minute apart - no problem. Ira
Task error:ibi.jlink.EdaPcb: Pcb2.: ibi.ngxxj.NGException: local error
I realized that a join was created using the same HOLD file, and the HOLD files was a USE filename.foc as HOLD. I have created 2 HOLD files using the same query to create the foc file and named them differently to use them in joins. Even though it's the same HOLD file, my problem seems to have disapeared.
Hope this helps those who have the same issue.

Ok have a similar but different problem. We have RC job that has been running for past few years. It runs once a day and is responsible for creating lookup tables for WF and some other uses. I not sure when it stopped working, but today a user noticed that some changes she made were not visible in the HTML form. Upon inspecting the RC log, it has been failing for the past month (at least), giving the following error: "Task error:Error connecting to the Managed Reporting Repository:".
When I go to RC to inspect what Fex is getting called, and what params are getting sent, I cant open the task t0 inspect the properties.
any ideas??

Good morning all. Been a few weeks since I last posted into this case with my Rcaster error. IB has it and it has bounced around a bit. They have 6 or 7 different traces (including jlink etc.), but no luck yet. Symptom: After we did an OS upgrade, suddenly we were no longer able to run concurrent Rcaster jobs without getting one of 2 different errors. Which error occurs and why - we are investigating: (1) Socket Exception (2) Can't find post process
We can run any schedule and they work fine, however, running multiple within the same timeframe causes the above errors. Soon as I have something I will post.. Thanks, Ira
I am receiving that same error also. This is my log from my report caster report:
Retrieving MR report: app/enrollment_report_today_last_year_3 Connecting to server EDASERVE with execution id wfuser Executing focexec. Task error:ibi.jlink.EdaPcb: Pcb2.: ibi.ngxxj.NGException: local error
Found out that is was the "SET BYPANEL = ON" command in my code. I am guessing that Report Caster does not support it when using it in my PDF document.
