Greetings @Daniel_Larsson !

It seems that the download link for the Qlik Sense Enterprise Scalability files expired again (https://qliktechnologies365.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/ScalabilityLab/Eodm95Sn7K5PsXFG-iZjQF0BhO1eM59v9LW2...). 

Are these files still available for download?

Please advise.

Cheers,

Hi!
When I try to start execution I get an error:
"Connection to scheduler failed: failed to read JSON message: failed to read: use of closed network connection"
In the log:

 Tried to turn off firewall but no luck

[Daniel_Larsson]

Windows sometimes decides to block the downloaded zip which can make the underlying exe not being able to execute, when using windows built-in unzip functionalit,  unless unblocking zipped package first (properties -> unblock). Can you see if that's the case for your downloaded zip and unblock, before unzipping the tool?

[BuTbka]

I have successfully extracted, installed and run this software.
I can run "Connect and populate application structures" and configure the script, but when I try to execute the script, I get errors.
I also tried disabling the firewall and antivirus

[Daniel_Larsson]

unfortunately when the the zip is "blocked", unzipping, installing and starting the program will still (seemingly) "work", but the underlying executables will be blocked from running, so please check if the zip you downloaded has the "unblock" checkbox, if it does this likely the problem. If so, uninstall, unblock the zip, unzip and reinstall. It will not be a problem if unzip is done with e.g. 7zip, only microsoft built-in unzip.  (and still yes, windows will not complain when unzipping and installing, or even running it despite them putting the "block" on it). As this is the most common issue, and many get confused since it works "halfway", I want to be 100% this is not it before trying to identify any other issue.

[BuTbka]

No, there is no such checkbox. Also tried command from here

I also tried to run it manually
gopherciser work well
but scheduler fail

The same error like in the main app log.

[Daniel_Larsson]

hmm ok, hmm from commandline it looks like scheduler part works, but fails to execute the gopherciser (I'm assuming here it's gopherciser script in event 0). Just had two different persons try downloading from shared folder and executing a simple script on 2 different windows, and report success, so can eliminate something getting corrupt somehow in release process or upload.

Also, I assume same script works in earlier version, so it's an issue with latest version only? (as I see you have some of those)

[Daniel_Larsson]

from command line requires pointing to gopherciser though, see that's missing,
can you try adding
-g gopherciser.exe
when executing the scheduler? (adding path if it's not in your working directory)
if this works at least we can eliminate the scheduler itself, in that case it's an issue connecting GUI to exe
