backing up repo in 6.3

[jasemilly]

Hi I can backup the repo from the command when in the buildomatic folder like with this command

js-export.sh --everything --output-zip jas1.zip  

all works great, when I try to create a cron job nothing happens can anyone shed any light please???

 

40 15 * * * /home/jason/jasperreports-server-cp-6.3.0-bin/buildomatic/js-export.sh --everything --output-zip jas1.zip

 

I have put a log on the cron job the result it is returning is

INFO: No bundled ant found (../apache-ant or ../../apache-ant). Using existing antBuildfile: build.xml does not exist!Build failed[/code]

 

I am more confused as CRON is firing why would is say BUILD.XML doesn't exist when I can copy the command into buildomatic folder and run it perfectly fine?

 

thanks

Have you tried creating a simple script and then having the cron job run the script? For example:

cd  /home/jason/jasperreports-server-cp-6.3.0-bin/buildomatic/

../js-export.sh --everything --output-zip jas1.zip 

My guess is that the js-export.sh script is using a local path for the build.xml command and when you run the script from the default cron location, it doesn't find build.xml.

Which user are you running the cron? It's likely that the cron is running under root or some other user and the home directory is different.

Hi Elizam I had that vey thought this morning and thought would be succesful.  I created a simple script in buildomatic folder that call js-export with arguments.  executed it in the terminal all worked perfectly.  I changed the cron job to run this script.  It ececutes my script but still has build.xml issue.

so this must be some form of permission
