Steven,

Thanks for your reply. We found the problem to be a permission issue.
Although the login was designated with administrative privleges on the
server, for some reason it did not have permission to access XMLHTTP. Not
sure why or how this occurred, but that resolved the problem When we ran the
job manually, it was based on our login, thus the difference in permissions.
Thank you so much for your assistance.

Glad that you've made some progress. For the hang issue, it would be hard
to troubleshoot from external symptoms. Is it possible that you try repro
the same behavior on a development machine? If so, I suggest you attach
debugger to the process to see at what point does the problem happen or
stuck at.

Steven,
Thank you for your reply. I believe we've corrected the SSL Credential
issue, but the job is still not executing properly. It executes fine
manually, but when executing through the task scheduler is still hangs.
Any
other ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply,

So based on your further description, the manual test is via IE and
you've
got some prompt SSL credential info(do you mean a popup dialog or some
warning page occur to let you do some action)?

If this is the case, you're probably running into a common issue.
Generally, many https/ssl site is using a server certificate that is not
installed as trusted one one client computer(or something else that make
the client browser prompt warning), and you can interactively handle it
in
browser. However, for programmatic code, you do not have interactive
handling means, then such error cause the problem fails.

In .net framework, you can use the certificate validation handler to
provide your own code logic for handling such SSL server certificate
validation process. You can have a look at the following articles:

#ServicePointManager..::.ServerCertificateValidationCallback Property

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.servicepointmanager.serv
ercertificatevalidationcallback.aspx

#'CertificatePolicy' Vs 'ServerCertificateValidationCallback'
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=80799&SiteID=1

For simple test, you can implemented a validation handler that always
return "true"(think the server certificate is valid) to see whether it
works.

Hope this helps.

Steven,

Thank you for your message. Regarding your questions: I executed it
manually simply by using the https:// URL in an IE window. (the vbs file
from the job scheduler calls an asmx file. I typed in the value of the
vbs
URL in an IE window). We are unable to attach via VS IDE but we write to
a
log file in multiple locations to indicate that it has started, runs,
etc.
It appears that it never execute. Regarding your comment: Is it
possible
that it's waiting for a permission or something? When I ran it manually
I
was prompted for SSL Credentials. Do you have an example of how I would
enter those in the case of a scheduled job. In the scheduled job I do
have
it running as the same person that I used for the SSL Credentials.

Thanks.

Hi,

From your description, you have a webservice at server-side which ove
files
into a sharepoint folder(from normal file folder). You found that you
failed to call th e webservice(hang) through windows scheduled task at
client ,correct?

Generally, for webservice and https condition, a common problem is the
client-side's validation against the SSL certificate. As you mentioned
that
you can successfully call the service manually, how did you call it
manually? Is there any different between it and what you did when using
scheduled task?

Also, you can try using VS IDE to attach the program process when it
runs
to see whether there is any internal error or unexpected behavior in
the
code.

I have a web service which basically moves files from a folder to a
sharepoint document folder. The service is scheduled to run as a
scheduled
task. It works fine in our test environment. On production we have
SSL
installed. When I execute it manually, it runs properly, however when
I
execute it as a scheduled tasks, it seems to hang. According to the
schedule
log it starts, but it doesn't complete. Is there a problem with SSL
and
scheduled taks? I believe that I must place it under the sharepoint
web
site
on the server in order to use sharepoint's credentials when writing to
the
folder. Any assistance is appreciated
