  • 1.  Autosweep configured but not running 12.8

    Posted Jul 13, 2018 11:48 AM

    Hi All,

    I enabled autosweep to run locally. I scheduled it to run daily at 8:30, instead of default Sun@8:30. Pretty simple configuration but it doesn't run.

    Documentation isn't giving any information about what to expect but I suppose that the «Autoswept» value should indicate the last run time. I also found information about querying the last execution log file so I suppose it generates a log file for each execution.

    7-Autosweep, Current Value:"TRUE"
    8-AutosweepSchedule, Current Value:"8:30"
    9-Autoswept, Current Value:""

    So far no indication of any execution.

    Is there something else to configure/enable?

    Hi, 

     

    Have you tried to execute XPSSweeper manually? If so, did it work?

    After the XPSConfig change, did you restart policy server?

    We also can not rule out that there could be defect around this area (DE358739 reported on 12.7), which support case will be required to investigate further.

    I tested this same Autosweep you mentioned on Windows with 12.52 SP2 and 12.8 and both releases ran at the customized time, local setting and even the Autoswept field was updated. In addition an XPSSweeper.log was added to my \logs\ directory.

     

    As Hongxu mentioned, I did restart after the changes were made.

    Have you disabled Autosweep globally using XPSConfig tool ?

    XPSSweeper Auto Schedule not generating XPSSweeper - CA Knowledge 

    Looks like you  enabled it locally on only one Policy server by modifying the XPS.CFG file at below location:

    7-Autosweep, Current Value:"TRUE".

    Hello Team,

    I also have a question on this, I am on 12.8.04. Following the instructions on first policy server per our doc:
    XPS
    #7
    Change the value to L (local)
    Q to enable
    Then back to
    #8 to set schedule​​
    C Change to Sun@07:00
    Qs to enable.
    I also checked XPS.cfg file, autosweep=true.


    Now my question
    **************************  
    1> On my second policy server, I went to the XPSConfig to check:
                 #7 Autosweep is not enable yet
                  #8 The pending value now is the same as my first policy server that I set at Sun@07:00 
                                ---> I am wondering why? since the first policy sever enabled with L (local).

    2> After I enabled it on the second server, and given a different time.  Now back to the first server, the time changed to match the second server.
         I want two servers run in a different time.  Why is this happening? 

    Thanks for your help,

    June
