Autodesk Vault 2020 - Programming 101 - Custom Job not showing up in Job Types

Darrell.johnson — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 09:39:08 GMT

Hello, I followed the steps in the Autodesk Vault 2020 - Programming 101 so far.

I am at chapter 3.2.2 right now.

I created a new project wit the API-Onboarding Custom Job template, then I changed the output folder to "ProgramData\Autodesk\Vault 2022\JobName\".

Creatiang the custom job when building the project works as intended, but the job doesn't show up in the job types list in the job processor.

Any ideas why it doesn't show up there?

Regards Darrell Johnson

Did you start with the template shared with the AU material (2020 version)? The Vault 2022 SDK has an updated template, and I recommend using this one.

If the 2022-based, compiled job does not show up - the documented check-points of the 101 documentation apply. Carefully review all these. In case of doubt, share the code.

Starting it with the new template worked fine but now I have issues connecting to the Vault through the API.

When I run this code the following exception pops up:

Any idea why it doesn't work?

It is a new subject, not related to your custom job, right? I wonder why your custom job should use this code, as the connection is available as a default in a job extension's context.

Yes it's a new subject. I need a schechuled vault job, so I used the API Console Application Template.

As mentioned in an earlier post I try to check a directory for a xml-file and trigger the job that way.

You referred to this AU class. When I am using the sample of this class, a Vault Login Window pops up, it's filled out when it shows up and the Login information is correct. But when I hit the "OK" button this error message shows up.

Do I have to change the Login Settings of the Vault Login Form?

Looks like you are trying to log into Vault in two different places.

If you are signing into Vault in your main() method then you should have the connection object there and not need to call the Vault login form itself. Also, could you translate the error message so we can better see what the exact error is?

This login problem is unrelated to the thread's original question (resolved). I kindly ask you to discuss this one separately; it is confusing for everyone who does not know the posted code and its purpose.

Thanks.

Thanks for that update Markus, I did in fact take this as being a single issue when I replied.
