Run queue

The system settings in the Web interface contain the parameters regarding error handling for the run queue.

Run queue

Parameter

Description

Suspend run queue on error

Use the toggle to define how the run queue should behave if an analysis error occurs.

  • If you set the toggle to True, all items in the instrument run queue are set to Waiting on error after an analysis error occurs.

  • If you set the toggle to False, all items in the instrument run queue keep their current state and are resumed automatically after an analysis error occurs.

The toggle is set to True by default.

Maximum recovery period (in minutes)

The parameter specifies the length of the grace period that is used to recover analyses that are in the Not available state. Valid values: 0 - 9999, with 0 meaning that no grace period applies, and the analyses go directly into Error state.

Instrument reconnection within maximum recovery period

If the instrument disconnects while an analysis from Sample Scheduler is in Not available, Submitted or Running state on this instrument, the Scheduler Acquisition agent tries to re-establish the connection.

If the connection is not recovered within 15 seconds, the following happens:

  • Analyses in state Submitted or In progress in the corresponding instrument queue are set to Not available state,

  • The maximum recovery period starts counting

  • Last modification date is set to current date/time for these analyses

  • The Acquisition agent continues trying to reconnect to the instrument

If the instrument reconnects within the maximum recovery period, the following happens:

  • The analysis progress display recovers and the analysis states are updated

  • If the analysis request is not present in the instrument/CDS run queue anymore, the analysis states are set to Error with the message Could not recover analysis state.

If the instrument remains disconnected after the maximum recovery period has expired, the analysis state Not available is set to Error with the message Could not recover analysis state.

Reconnections are logged to the process log within the corresponding Sample Scheduler logfile with the level Warning.

If reconnection is possible within the maximum recovery period:

  • The analysis progress display recovers and the analysis states are updated

  • If the analysis request is not present in the instrument/CDS run queue anymore, the analysis states are set to Error with the message Could not recover analysis state.

If the instrument remains disconnected after the maximum recovery period has expired, the analysis state Not available is set to Error with the message Could not recover analysis state.

Reconnections are logged to the process log within the corresponding sample scheduler logfile.
