Task Agent - Log file

The log file doesn’t show much except for an ‘appserver connection failure’. Trying to find what could be causing the connection failure. We do have the sql server an task agent servers on separate instances and do a 30 minute continuous sync update of the Epicor905 db files.

Atleast you have some timestamps, now you can start monitoring time’s X Event occurs and start putting the puzzles together to turn the assumptions into better facts… Then continue research probably on the https://www.progresstalk.com/ forums. Try asking there, those guys live and eat progress daily.

The difficult thing is that it happens randomly to try to pinpoint it.

Go to your Progress Admin Console and Enable Verbose Logging for everything for a while.

You know that URL where you can start/stop AppServer, TaskAgent, ProcessServer… You can configure logging levels set all of it to “Verbose” perhaps it reveals more in the logs.

Short of enabling verbose logging, what are some things we can look into that might be causing this?

Adding this reply, just in case anyone still having issues.
(only saw this old thread while I was really looking for something else)

Anyway… I started having issues similar to those mentioned by JennL on a Vantage server.
These started after a 3rd party had set up a new backup system, that relied on VSS (without checking OpenEdge compatibility or… bothering to tell me what they did).
Eventually I figured out what had been done, had the 3rd party disable everything related to VSS, Shadow Copy… and the OpenEdge issues went away.

Ref article “OpenEdge is not Volume Snapshot Service or Volume Shadow Copy Service VSS aware”.
