After being absent here for a while I joined in again and have just updated the farm to DL8.
So far it feels good with some nice detailed ui graphics added!
The only thing I can’t get working is the webservice scripts.
It seems that my old DL7 webservice script isn’t working anymore as gives this error:
An error occurred while executing script "TheHerder.py" for the Web Service:
Module 'WebServiceScope635907980819045886' does not exist
(the exact number is changing per request)
TheHerder script was based on the provided “GetFarmStatisticsEx.py” which also gives the same error.
Any chance to what can cause this?
(I have the “allow exec ution of non-script commands” active in the rep.options)
Besides that, I’m wondering if it’s possible to start the deadlinewebservice.exe from within deadlines monitor ui?
I put it now in the windows startup folder so it starts automatically.
If I’m doing things right, we’ll be stuck with a CMD window that always needs to be open (or minimised) to run the webservice, right?
Perhaps prettier to run it within the pulse app?
Thanks for reporting this, there seems to be a bug in how the Web Service handles its scripts. We will look into it.
Not currently, will add that to the wishlist.
That is the current behavior if you’re running the Web Service on the machine that you interact with the farm from.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Web Service and Pulse are officially divorced, which is for the best. They never had anything in common anyway.
Perhaps then an idea to have a nice icon and deadline style window for the webservice?
Or to be able to actually run it as background service?
Somehow only having a CMD window for a ‘real’ piece of software feels a bit odd these days…
to me CMD windows are associated with ducttaped scripts that are quickly put together to do some dirty work instead of providing a reliable essential service.
But perhaps that’s just my personal usage/reference
As for the scripting bug, If something needs testing, let me know.
