Hi,

I've installed the package of today but my computer has automatically restarted without any message and close all opened applications...
I've found this in the event viewer.
Windows Installer requires a system restart. Product Name: VisualCron 8.0.1. Product Version: 8.0.1. Product Language: 0. Manufacturer: neteject.com. Type of System Restart: 1. Reason for Restart: 1.

Moreover, it seems the protocol is no longer compatible with a previous version. Is it planned to change it?

Thanks,
Best regards
Sylvain

I've also noticed the compatibility issue with previous versions since the 8.0.0 install. The install won't allow a version previous to 8.0.0 to be installed without completely removing the Visual Cron application.

We do not perform any automatic reboots so it must be the operating system that did it for some reason. Regarding compatiblity there is a risk that it is not backwards compatible when connecting to older versions. The reason is a fix we did for a connection error. We will investigate this more but it is a high risk that it will not be backwards compatible from this version.

Yes, unfortunately we cannot do anything about the old versions as the problem is in the installer in that older version. Thanks for the report!

I found a bug and this is how to recreate it:

Have a job with several tasks and a loop in there with lets say 4 tasks.
Disable all the tasks in the loop and run the job.
All the tasks will run except the ones in the loop, that's good.
Now enable the 2nd task in the loop and run the job again.
You''ll see the 1st disabled task in the loop runs also as the 2nd enabled task.
Only the 2nd task in the loop is enabled and should run, not the 1st.

Regards
Erik

Hi,

When I use the FTP explorer, the default local dir is set to 'Desktop'.
I can't however drop files there to start a download. I have to go to a different folder.
If I go to the real desktop path \users\..\desktop than I'm able to download files there, so it's not a security issue.

Is this normal behaviour?

Erik

Hi,

Any ideas when 8.01 will be released?

Thanks.
Matt

Hi,

There is always a communication issue with this beta version.
I've created a job which calls 10 VisualCron jobs remotely (stored on the same server but call remotely)
The first run, all is ok
The second run at list one remote job isn't called...and so the calling job is locked in running state and it is impossible to stop it...
there are ghost connections (in server connections manager) for each job called.

It is a major issue which exists on some latest released version (we have the version 7.7.8 on production with this issue which is workaround by a program I've developed...).

Could you fix this issue please?
Many thanks
Best regards
Sylvain

It appears that 8.0.1 has been released. However, there isn't a post to this forum indicating such. And, we're still able to download the install from this forum. Normally, that ability is removed when the version is released. Can you please verify that 8.0.1 has been released? Thanks.
