Could Not Initialize The Scheduler

[Murder4Al]

I just installed v4.1 trial and while checking out the cool SQL backup feature upon the moment I wanted to schedule thing I got the above error.

Wich scheduler are you using?

I didn't find any custom service in the services list?

Any hints where to check?

The sja.exe is working perfect by the way, i check that manually.

SQLyog uses Windows built-in Task Scheduler. For that matter you can use any 3rd party scheduler too.

BTW, can you provide us with screenshots so that we can exactly pinpoint the error?

Ahh, that enlightens me.

I indeed do not have the Build-in windows Task scheduler on that particular Win2K server. I'll just need to check why is that 😉

The screenshot I attached happens right after I click on Powertools -> Job manager

Indeed, on that particular server I do not have a 'Task Scheduler' service installed (I didn't even know it was possible to have a windows machine without it). I just checked my other servers and they do have this service.

I'll try to figure out how to get it back on that machine.

Well obviously SQLyog can't initialize the scheduler if the scheduler is not there <_< there is a FAQ item http://www.webyog.com/faq/index.php?action…d=33&artlang=en

The scheduler is a service in the OS. Sure it just does not has been stopped? Some people have a maniac for stopping services because they think they eat resources.

Actually the old command line NT scheduler is in 2k and XP too

i'm sure it simply isn't there 😉

See screenshot, it should be right after 'System event notification'.

I have no idea how this has happened 😉

Just trying a google for this now.

We have been discussing here too!

[peterlaursen]

is the file schedsvc.dll in system32 folder ?

the service is started with command “rundll32.exe schedsvc.dll” from a RUN registry key.

EDIT: corrected a pasting error! 🙁

[peterlaursen]

It also simply could be the “Control Panel Applet” (.cpl-file) that is missing. In that case the service runs but is not accessible!

[Murder4Al]

The file schedsvc.dll is nowhere on my system 😉

Still didn't found the time to do a full investigation on it, will do soon and report here.

Once this issue gets resolved, we need to put it in the FAQs 😀
