Distribution Failure

Hi,

The distribution task that i have created, fails sometimes. The reload is successful but the distribution fails but this does not happen at all times. I checked the event log and this is what i see. Can someone help me understand why this happens?

The task "Analytics Dashboard" failed. Exception: || QDSMain.Exceptions.TaskFailedException: Task execution failed with errors to follow. ---> QDSMain.Exceptions.DistributeToResourcesFailedException: Distribute to resource failed. ---> System.Exception: l_FileSystemPluginHelper exception ---> QDSMain.Exceptions.DscOffLineException: Failed to AddNamedUsers || at QDSMain.Support.DSCHelper.AddNamedUsers(ILogBucket logBucket, XmlDocument xml, List`1 namedUsers, FileSystemPluginHelper fileSystemPluginHelper) || at QDSMain.Support.DSCHelper.GetFileSystemSecurity(ILogBucket logBucket, FileSystemPluginHelper fileSystemPluginHelper, List`1 recipients) || at QDSMain.QlikViewServerDistributionResource.CreateSettingsBlock(ILogBucket i_LogBucket, FileSystemPluginHelper i_FileSystemPluginHelper, String i_SourceDocumentName, DateTime i_LastUpdate, DateTime i_NextUpdate, Boolean i_EventDriven, String i_Category, eDistributionFileType i_TotalDistributionFileTypeMask, FilePackageContainer i_FilePackageContainer) || at QDSMain.QlikViewServerDistributionResource.Distribute(ILogBucket i_LogBucket, DistributionRequest i_DistributionRequest) || --- End of inner exception stack trace --- || at QDSMain.QlikViewServerDistributionResource.Distribute(ILogBucket i_LogBucket, DistributionRequest i_DistributionRequest) || at QDSMain.DistributeTask.DistributeStreamToResources(Int32 round, Distribution distribution, IEnumerable`1 distributionResources) || --- End of inner exception stack trace --- || at QDSMain.DistributeTask.DistributeStreamToResources(Int32 round, Distribution distribution, IEnumerable`1 distributionResources) || at QDSMain.DistributeTask.DistributionExecution(String fileName, Document qvbDocument, DistributionRequest distributionRequest, TaskResult taskResult, String repeatVariableName, String currentRepeatVariableValue) || at QDSMain.DistributeTask.Distribution(String fileName, DistributionRequest distributionRequest, TaskResult taskResult, String repeatVariableName, String currentRepeatVariableValue) || at QDSMain.DistributeTask.Execute(TaskResult currentTaskResult) || --- End of inner exception stack trace --- || at QDSMain.DistributeTask.Execute(TaskResult currentTaskResult) || at QDSMain.Task.AbstractTask.TaskExecution(ILogBucket logBucket, TaskResult taskResult)

Thanks.

But this is not giving an idea on the cause. Also, I am not distributing to an AD group.

It is definetely related to giving file access to the users you want to distribute the docume t to.

Does it work sometimes or never?

if never: can you copy the file manually to you access point and give the document the read aceess you want?

if not, you have an issue with the users of the distribution.

if yes, check if the users running the distribution service has the aurhority to copy files to your access point.

This happens sometimes. It works when run the task from the status tab of QMC. At times when i look at the list of users to whom it has been distributed to, the list appears blank. The user list is seen when i reopen the task details.

Ok. How is this user list managed? Manually in QMC or is it coming from the QVW? Do you also see an service error in windows event logs?

User list is maintained manually in QMC. I see this on the Windows events log

Is the AccessPoint same server as distribution server or another server? If another, are they on the same domain?

The QVS is on a different server but the domain is the same.

RSvebeck — Tue, 09 May 2017 22:24:53 GMT

ok. same domain account running on both servers, and only domain users in the distribution list?

Re: Distribution Failure

yes it is only for the domain users

Are you sure there is a domain controller up and running when the distribution job is triggered?

In some installations I have seen, some network services are down once per week for maintainance. And this can cause this kind of error. You should though find some AD error logs before your Distribution warning for this to be the case...
