1. Check in the server Outlook Express Outbox Sent box and see if got sent. If it did get sent, then the problem may be in your spam
filter or your company's email server.
2. If it is not in the Sent box, see if it is in the Out box, in which case your company's SMTP server had a problem sending it.
3. If it is not in the Out box then make sure the Autogenerate window is still open and that the Start button is grayed out - meaning
that the report program is still running, and no one accidentally shut it off. Accidental shutoff can be prevented in program versions
6.72 and later by activating the EsdTest administrator password.
4. If no one shut the program off, then check the Last Executed column in the Autogenerate window and see when the last report
was sent. If the last report was sent at the scheduled time, then there is a problem with your MAPI mail programs on your server - try
rebooting.
5. If the last report executed did not execute at the scheduled time, check the server's computer clock and date setting. Move the
mouse to the lower right of the screen and right click on the time, and then choose Adjust Time/Date to see the date.
6. If the date is correct, then click the Pause/Edit button in the Autogenerate window, and then click the Start button again. Make
sure that the scheduled report information looks OK, especially the top line, and that the file has not been corrupted, and that the
format looks the same as the examples above. Also check the Last Executed column to make sure no dates in the future have been
inserted.
File backups:
GetNames (but not SendNames) will automatically backup the new combined names.txt file whenever it is run, on a 2 run rotation.
It will backup Namesbak1.txt to Namesbak2.txt then backup Names.txt to Namesbak1.txt, so you will need to catch it within 2
executions before the backups are totally overwritten.
If you want a longer rotation, our AutoGen Report scheduler has the capability of running your own custom .bat files, so you can run
any rotation schedule or to any computer you desire.
For example, to backup the names.txt file once per day on a 7 day rotation you could write a file named M1Task.bat as follows
xcopy namesB6.txt namesB7.txt /Y /C
xcopy namesB5.txt namesB6.txt /Y /C
xcopy namesB4.txt namesB5.txt /Y /C
xcopy namesB3.txt namesB4.txt /Y /C
xcopy namesB2.txt namesB3.txt /Y /C
xcopy namesB1.txt namesB2.txt /Y /C
xcopy names.txt namesB1.txt /Y /C
(might have to specify path if default path is different, i.e.)
xcopy c:\EsdTest\names.txt c:\EsdTest\namesB1.txt /Y /C
The /Y and /C prevent the xcopy command from stopping on errors. Place the M1Task.bat file in the same directory as the
EsdTest.exe file, which is usually the c:\EsdTest directory.
and insert the following line into the AutoGenerate Task scheduler:
MoTuWeThFrSaSu 06:00 M1Task all no
In addition, you could even do a 4 week rotation by the following lines to a file named M2Task.bat:
xcopy namesW3.txt namesW4.txt /Y /C
xcopy namesW2.txt namesW3.txt /Y /C
xcopy namesW1.txt namesW2.txt /Y /C
xcopy names.txt namesW1.txt /Y /C
and insert the following line into the AutoGenerate Task scheduler:
Fr 06:05 M2Task all no
