At Lafayette College, we have been running the Grouper Loader as a system service from /etc/init (according to the host's man pages, "init - Upstart process management daemon"). This has typically worked well for us, though I was a bit surprised today when my Grouper status URL reported that a few new SIMPLE_SQL jobs I recently added had not run in a couple days. The logs showed no errors, and if I ran the jobs from GSH, they ran without issues.

I finally ran a report from the database and realized the jobs were not recorded as having been run.

I tried changing one of the job times, and I could see in the grouper logs that a session started and ended at the appropriate time, but there was still no log entry. Finally, I rescheduled the job *and* stopped and restarted the Loader process. Now the job was picked up and recorded in the loader history table.

Based on these observations, I am assuming that an existing Loader session won't see newly scheduled jobs.

I was wondering if I am running the Loader in the expected manner, and it is just an operation step to bounce the service to get it to recognize new jobs, or if it was intended to be run intermittently or perhaps something else.

Carl,

My understanding is that anytime you modify a loader job, you need to restart the loader daemon. That's certainly how it works in my installation! :)

I should have added this reference:

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+Loader+add+new+job

Towards the bottom, it mentions that the loader needs to be bounced.
