valanr

We are working with LS Retail POS, we need to replicate the data from stores to Head Ofiice
Now we are running the manual job from stores as the End of the day activity.
Now we need to schedule the same NAS before the store closing time.
The NAS is running properly with the given parameters but the job is not working.
Can anyone pls adwise us to do the NAS Scheduling


Thanks & Regards

A few possibilities:
- you can take the Job Queue of 5.0 (this is NAS-based)
- you can build your own NAS Scheduler based on the Job Scheduler
- you can buy a third party application that does the job (like iFacto NAS Scheduler).

How many companies do you have in your database where some kind of job has to be scheduled?

We got only one company now.We are running the NAS with the Startupparameter="LSRSCHEDULER NASID,TYPEFILTER=DD,LOG=0" as the scheduler job type is DD.
We enabled the "Enable NAS Scheduler" also in LS Scheduler-->Setup
Whether i need to configure except this?

Sorry, I didn't know that LS Retail got a built in scheduler.
I don't know this one, so I doubt that I'm able to help you.

I would advice to contact the support desk of LS Retail.

Dear valanr,

go to Ls-retail job scheduler and ckick on scheduler job and go on schedule detail tab and schedule the job then it will work.

Hi All,

I am facing isssue in NAS Scheduling. NAS service is running without any error and but scheduler log is not updating. and jobs are not running.

"The description for Event ID ( 20010 ) in Source ( CAFE-****-CLASSIC ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: The Application Server for Microsoft Dynamics NAV CAFE-****-CLASSIC started with the following configuration:

"


Can you please help me. ](*,)

Thanks for quick reply..

I am pulling data from store to HO and running reports also. If i am running job through Periodic activity --> scheduler server. it is running fine, but if i am running through NAS it is not running. Do you need more information?

Waldo

Well, I don't know if it's helpful, but I had the same issue last week .. . The cause was an windows update. We had the nas running on a x64 server. Printing on a x64 with x86 drivers runs differently after that windows update .. and that's where the NAS was crashing (actually not crashing, but just endlessly executing)... .

When you're running reports, are you printing them to PDF or something? Try to disable the printing-jobs and see if all runs fine then ..

HI, =;

I am not taking any printout. Leave about report. the actual issue is, I am pulling data from store to HO by using data director. So this job is not running through NAS. If I am running it manually using Scheduler Server it is running fine but not through NAS. Can you please help me to for that.

Waldo

Sorry, then I don't know .. it was a wild guess :°).

Doesn't LS Retail have a supportdesk?

Your startup paramater for typefilter is blank for NAS. It needs to be the same CODE as the JObTYPE field that you have setup in Job Scheduler.

bakul4uonly

Thanks for reply.. =;

That is not an issue, For other location I am running without Type Filter (Ex. TYPEFILTER= ) and it is running.

For this location NAS has installed successfully and working fine but Job is not running and Scheduler log is also not updating.

ara3n

well then your Job Type field needs to be blank as well.

I have seen some posts about problem running NAS with LS Retail on 2008. Usually the issue is access problem, as Windows 2008, Vista, 7 are all locked down by default. Check the user that is running the NAS Service that it has to have full access to the folders where Data Director is installed, specially the Folders where CFront files are. The user has to be able to create folders and files there. This is usually the case that you can run the job when you run it from the NAV Client, but not from NAS.

Turn off windows firewall and try then

Having read the post, my understanding of the issue you are facing is "NAS is starting up fine without any issues, but none on the scheduled jobs within LS Scheduler are working". More often than not it can only be because of two reasons as below

a) The windows login id under which NAS service is running needs to be added within Navision with relevant permissions
b) The Job Type in the scheduler does not match with TYPEFILTER in the NAS parameters

Check the above and the LS Scheduler should run the job.

Thanks to all

I have resolved issue by correcting code in Application Management Codeunit (Coduint 1)

There are functions to run NAS in Std Navision and LS Retail Navision.

hello @bakul4uonly

i am currently having same issue i am also using ls retail for my clients and have same issue

i have configured all the setup needed for NAS

passing parameters JOBQUEUE,LSRBATCHPOST,LSRSCHEDULER NASID,TYPEFILTER=DD-FROM-HO, log=1 and Repeat=1

with startup code unit 99001454 which belongs to LSNASHANDLER

and also running the NAS instance as Admin User than a network service user, as the user i used is having full admin access to the computer running Naas

i can run down the scheduler jobs manually to all locations and also added the schedule time settings for the job that need to be sent to the stores, and i have also enabled the NAS scheduler

But still NAS is not triggering down the jobs automatically

I have tried to follow you previous post by opening the code unit 1(application management) but i am unable to find any code that belongs to NAS handler either from standard dynamics nav or ls nav

all i have found is few lines of scheduler that works as report scheduler, will you assist me where i can modify these settings

I have even tried to trigger the scheduler by creating the job queue and adding the table number that belongs to the distribution(99001474)

It will be helpful if some one can give me little awareness why all this is happening and stopping the jobs from getting triggered by scheduler automatically.

Thank You..!
