See this Comm Center thread by Emmanuel Jehin, Stephane Basa, and Geoff Stone. Provide another (simpler) way to force the scheduler to immediately start a target of opportunity (well, other than the .NET Remoting API). Specifically there needs to be a way to kill the current run so that the T.O.O. Plan with time 0001-01-01T00:00:00 (run now) will start without needing to wait for the current Observation to complete.

Change HTTP Command Receiver logging to make less scary.
GEM:1542

 

REOPENED



The logged message



2021-09-01 21:52:43.8: HTTP command listener failed to start: Access is denied

2021-09-01 21:52:43.8:   If this is Windows 8-10, you will need to add permission (ACL) to listen on port 9123.

2021-09-01 21:52:43.8:   See Scheduler Help > Configuring the Program > Noteworthy Configuration Options, at the bottom.




is scaring people. Change the log level to Debug and add a note that this an optional feature. Not worth making this a config option and surprising people with it defaulted OFF.

Add friendly error message logged for case where Windows 10 security prevents starting the listener. Point to the docs where this is covered. Correct link to Help info on this!

With the ACL added, it's working for him. Close it.

Add doc info on setting windows ACL for receiver.
GEM:1542

 

Stephane can't get it to run on Windows 10. I did some research and found this MSDN article. Apparently you need to add an ACL with netsh??? I'm OK because it's for localhost or the local IP. Just need to determine these addresses, then add as ACLs. Can this be done internal to the program? Also I found this StackOverflow post that says you can get away without adding ACLs if you use exactly 'localhost' as the host, not  even 127.0.0.1. However it may require .NET 4.5 and I am not ready to move to that.



I'm going to go with a documentation addition and refer to this article Configuring HTTP and HTTPS. 



netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:9876/MyUri user=DOMAIN\user

Finalize HTTP Command Server, add start and stop commands, add configuration option for the port, describe in documentation.
GEM:1542

 

OH! I never told those guys I had done this! OK, complete the docs and get a copy of the Scheduler.EXE out to them.

Add skeleton of HTTP receiver
GEM:1542

 

Using a tiny local-only web server to receive the command. May use for start/stop of dispatcher as well, eh? Simply call Engine.InterruptDispatcher(bool StopRunningPlans).
