Testcomplete Tests hangs when running for days through batch file on remote machines

We are running Testcomplete Tests on remote machines which have TestExecute .We use Batch file. With the help of Task scheduler we are running the tests for every 30 minutes of the day. SO the tests ...

    On your batch file you must wait a little before killing process and launching new instance of TE. Process lifecyle treatment is not instant. So use some pause 3  to pause 3 seconds between each call.

    It could be the problem..

     

    About windows event log, on your panel on left side you have Windows logs entry with sub category, open the Application category and look at time where the problem occured if any special message appears.

    Same for Security category and System category.

So, TestExecute is running but then there's an error indicating that no file can be found.  So, what's in your batch file that's attempting file copying/transfer, etc?  because that seems to be the problem, not something in TE.

In your TE batch file, are you running TE with the /exit command line?  Or are you somehow closing TE manually in the batch file?  A bit more information of what the batch file actually is would be helpful.

We are exporting the MHT log file after running every project.  One one remote machine we have 4 projects. each project has only one script . We are exporting the MHT report after every project.  While MHT file get older for e.g. in when it is older than 3 days old we delete the file. In that command we have not put the condition to check for MHT file older than 3 days. When it do not find the file older than 3 days then it throw the error.

 

Let me know if you need more information 

 

Thanks

    So, that exporting and processing of the MHT files is part of the Batch file, not part of the Automation code itself?

     

    Then this is not a question for TestComplete/TestExecute.  You need to debug your batch file.  The batch file is generating an error and is not closing down properly which is why the next automation can't run.

       It is part of Automation code itself. In Testcomplete project . I have 2 projectItems one is for the script and the other one is for Export MHT report.

        The error presented is not a TestComplete/TestExecute error.  When run as commandline, that type of error is not presented.  So, something is generating that error that is NOT TestComplete/TestExecute.

         

        Agin... what's in your batch file?  Share the code from that and maybe we can get you some better help.
