I've got a SharePoint timer job that takes a document library and puts the documents, converts them to PDF and puts them into a SQL server every night. Problem is, the timer job doesn't seem to work when it's called on the schedule. If I install it and then using a little console app I wrote, call execute on the job it works properly. Wh...
If I install a (timer job) feature to a Sharepoint front end server within a farm, which server executes the job? All of them? The job is locked at the job level, and the Execute method calls a web service on one specific machine on the farm, which handles all the processing. My question is whether all the front end servers will try and...
I am following up an interesting question on so, on usage of ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor for some repeating task. Scheduling this object returns a ScheduledFuture object which one can use to cancel the next run of the task. One thing to note here is the task itself is completely decoupled from the schedule-- ScheduledExecutorService...
I'm trying to create a custom timer job in Sharepoint. The job will send an e-mail message to the users that subscribed. I want to make a settings page for users, so they can change their own preferences for the digest service. For example, how often they want to receive mails (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly etc.), which Sharepoint lists th...

I have a Windows NT Service in C# which basically wakes up every x seconds, checks to see if any mail notifications need to be sent out, and then goes back to sleep. It looks something like this (the Timer class is from the System.Threading namespace): public partial class MyService : ServiceBase { private Timer _timer; private...
Hi, i have a timer job which i want to run only once per day, for the entire farm. How do I Deploy it in a multiple WFE environment? Do I run the stsadm -o deploysolution command in every WFE, or just the one where I want to run it? Where should i activate the feature? Should it be activated only from a particular WFE? What should be ...
Hi there, what account do you run the SharePoint 2010 Timer Job service under? Do you use the farm account or a separate one or just local service? Currently I use the farm account but the health analyzer says, it's not a good idea to use an account that has local administration permissions. Regards, Alex ...
I've hit an issue with creating a timer job on demand from within an event handler. It works fine on my dev machine where the user is also the farm administrator. On the staging server (and production too), this user will be different. Apparently it needs to be a farm admin who creates/updates timer jobs as they have access to the config...
