Pause all broadcasts

Peter Ruth shared this question 6 years ago
Answered

Is there a way to easily pause/turn off all broadcast reports?

As part of an upgrade procedure (7.2->7.3+) we want to make sure the client's broadcasts aren't being sent and also aren't queuing prior to the system coming back online.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Peter,

I hope all is well,

I would highly recommend following our Wiki instructions on our Schedule Management: http://wiki.yellowfin.com.au/display/USER73Plus/Schedule+Management

Within this link we have a section covering Pause Scheduled Task. Unfortunately this would work by pausing each individual Broadcast.

Hi Mark,

All good thanks.

I was hoping for an easier way to pause 60-70 broadcasts in "one click". Maybe there's something in the database we can try?

Hi Peter,

I hope all is well,

Looking into this further I can recommend the following options:

  1. Option 1 - Navigating to Schedule Management we have the option to Pause individual broadcasts.
  2. Option 2 - Navigating to Administration > Configuration > Outgoing Mail Server and simply delete your SMTP server settings. This will prevent only emailed broadcasts and will put a lot of failures in the logs but shouldn't hurt anything, especially in a test environment.
  3. Option 3 - Disable Task Scheduler within web.xml - This can be found on page 12 within the Clustering Guide attached.

With the above I would highly recommend Option 1, reason being it won't impact other schedules like filters, ldap, event archiving, although as we are aware this would be a slightly longer process for opening each individual (60+) broadcast.

Let me know what you think Peter, I look forward to your reply.

Is there some SQL available to set all broadcasts to pause? And then to unpause them again?

Hi Angela,

We successfully used the following option. I haven't heard if there's any other options available from YF since my question.

  1. Access the Yellowfin db
  2. To pause all type: update taskschedule set ScheduleIsOn = insert a zero here (for some reason the forum board keeps deleting it)
  3. To resume/un-pause all reports type: update taskschedule set ScheduleIsOn = 1

Regards,

Peter

I need to be able to pause only specific reports; How do I associate the report with the entry in taskschedule? I cant see a reportID in the taskschedule table

Hi Angela,


The ScheduleUnitID should match a ReportID from the ReportHeader table.

This is only valid for broadcasts where the ScheduleUnitCode is 'REPORTID'


...and keep in mind, this stuff should all be tested on a test/dev site before making changes to the prod YF DB.


Please let us know how it all goes.

David

Hi Peter,

I hope all is well,

Hi Mark,

We haven't progressed with the upgrade just yet so I can't give you a solid answer on that sorry.

I think also we found an option from the db update bim_prod_repo.taskschedule set ScheduleIsOn = 0 or 1. Again, we haven't been able to test this yet either.

I suspect updating the web.xml is a better/easier option than the db though.

Cheers,Peter
