Exception when creating scheduled task: The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi Dojo,

the following exceptions occurred when we creating a task via the scheduler in our own protocol like here described 

… CBase::CreateNewTask|DBG|3|Task 548 […Task Name…] will be handled by DMA xxx
… CRequest::Request|ERR|5|Remote Request for -SLNet- on -VT_EMPTY- failed. The system cannot find the file specified. (hr = 0x80070002)
Type 73/0/0
MESSAGE: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
VALUE 1: VT_BSTR : Skyline Dataminer Scheduled Task 548
… CBase::CreateNewTask|INF|1|Task 548 […Task Name…] was added successfully

Which file can the system not find? I could ignore it because it looks like all tasks are running successfully, but I guess this can be fixed?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

This specific exception can be ignored. It is a known problem when creating a new scheduled task (internal ref DCP190484)

The error occurs because before creating a new scheduled task, the code tries to delete any tasks with the same name. As no such task exists, an error is being logged.

There’s no further impact on the new scheduled task that was created.

thanks for the quick answer!
I guess it will also be thrown when using the new scheduler API?

Correct. The exception is being generated on the server. Both APIs end up triggering the same code there.
