FF 5.2 - Background Job Was Not Scheduled/Log & File Not Yet Generated

[Former Member]

All,

We have experienced some difficulties with our scheduled firefighter jobs. We think we have the problem resolved but my question is this... I was told by our Basis team that the FF Log Report job (if it fails and/or doesn't run) should pick up all of the previous data even if the job fails (as kind of a failsafe function). This hasn't occurred and thus we receive the Background Job Was Not Scheduled/Log & File Not Yet Generated message instead of the FF Log Report detailed information.

Should the job be able to pick up data that was missed from a failed or canceled job? If so, what can we check for or add as a variant that can make this happen. If not, what can we do to ever retrieve this information, or is it lost forever?

Regards,

Greg

Greg,

Try to schedule the job (/VIRSA/ZVFATBAK) again for the period the data was missing.. Variant should consist of the start time and the read time. Read time should be like one hour or so.. depending on the missing log

But make sure that the missing data is still available in STAD transaction (Usually Basis archives this data once or twice a week)data is still available in the system.
