  • 1.  Time Trigger System Won't Work at Intervals

    I deploy the system to run the map one time. I bounce the launcher. The map executes.

    I redeploy the system to run the map every minute with no delay, skip if busy. The map doesn't run one single time. This is a very simple map that appends the current date and time to a file.

    The Compound System text file shows the settings correctly. The Launcher Log shows that the launcher has a status of 4 and is only running this one single system.

    I am always able to execute the map using the Command Server but the event server doesn't time trigger.

    Must I change something in the dtx.ini file? What else could I be doing incorrectly on the recently installed event server?

    I've never heard of this problem in any version.

    Maybe mess with the "begin after".

    System evt_srv_mon.msl; has started. The current status of the system is 4.



    The Laucher Monitor doesn't show anything.
    When I bring up the Management Console it doesn't show anything either. But the following is added to the launcher log:

    User devguy has successfully logged in.
