Diadem 2020 - Analysis script does not trigger automatically

[EvaW]

Hi Deepak,

could you please double check, whether for the DataFinders which are not working in the index settings the option "Notify Analysis Automation instances about new or changed files" is checked?

Thanks,

Eva

Hi Eva,

The option is turned ON (check box ticked).

Thanks,

Hi Deepak,

First of all, you are right that if you are using SystemLink 20.0 (2020 R1), then you do NOT need to worry about the Workspace/Role permission features introduced in SystemLink 20.1 (2020 R2) which were vexing JKSH.  Your symptoms which sound similar on the surface must be coming from a different cause.

If you have the option to upgrade to SystemLink 2020 R4, then I would strongly recommend it.  There's a chance that it will fix the triggering issue you're reporting, but in general each version of SystemLink has been more reliable and easier to use than the previous versions.  Upgrading to 2020 R4 should improve your experience with SystemLink overall.

Hey Deepak,

Would you please upload a data file or two that fails to trigger the Analysis Server task, along with the ANP file that the task is calling?  I'd like to perform a sanity check on the query filter that the task is applying on each data file in order to determine whether to react to it.

In the configuration page for Analysis Automation, under Systems notifications, do you see the trigger events from the DataFinder file indexing? If so, what is the Notification message (double click the cell to see the complete message)?

Hi Brad,

Attached zip files contains an example file and ANP file. 

The example file might error out when running the analysis since it is stripped down version but you should still be able to test if the analysis is being triggered.

Thanks,

Hi Brad,

Did you have a chance to look at the ANP file?

Thanks,

Hi Deepak,

Are these data files that are not triggering analysis tasks being put in a folder that starts with "\\TDM_Server\ather-dev-tdm-data\Durability\PCN\Processed_Data\*"?

Are these data files that are not triggering analysis tasks still queryable from the DataFinder, say with a DIAdem query?

I want to start by excluding the simple explanations.

Hi Deepak,

When I run your *.ANP file in DIAdem simulation mode, using the analysis_test.tdms file you sent, it throws an error on line 71, because there is no "DAQ" group in that data file.

When you say that the Analysis task fails to trigger, could you perhaps mean that it starts but throws an error instead of creating the desired report file(s)?

Hi Brad,

The error is expected since the TDMS data attached is not well formatted.

The issue is that the error you see comes up only when the analysis itself is triggered which in my case is not happening when I setup a Triggered Task.

On the other hand, if I create a Manual task and run it, it does throw the error which at least means the analysis script is executing.

Thanks,

Deepak
