Problem With Vbscript

[andrewfleury]

I know this is an old thread, but was this ever solved?

I'm having a very similar issue where a vbscript is not running intermitently. Our clients, using the system, have reported this from time to time and I've finally been able to pinpoint to the fact that a vbscript is not running.
Looking at older logs, it seems this have been going on for months.

Our script doesnt' do much, there are no loops. I just sets a few variables using vg.RvSet.
However, occasionaly it doesn't complete causing the next node to be unable to play a wav file because the path to this wavfile is set in the vbscript. But since the vbscript never runs, users hear: "The sound file specified can not be found"

split into separate thread. See answer below for details

[SupportTeam]

The original problem report refers to a VB Script that never ran because it had some sort of a bug in it (probably a file/directory access problem by the looks of it).

 

In your post you are saying that sometimes you see the script run and sometimes not?

 

We have not come across that before, can you please post some logs that capture the problem call, we can then see what is happening on this system.

 

Also, as it is a different type of problem we have moved this to new thread.

(original thread question was posted in is here: http://voiceguide.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3261 )

I guess this would be the best section:
Basically we start by with a sound, with a decision to select a language.
Based on that language, a javascript module is run which initialises the custom wav path and a few other variables.
It seems like the vbscript just doesn't run and immediately goes to the next step which causes the say "The Sound File specified could not be found" because it can't find my custom wav because of the missing path.

Up until today I could never reproduce it because by the time I was alerted, when I tried, everything worked fine.
However yesterday, it just started permanently.
I tried to stop then start the IVR Service from the task bar. It then could not start up again. I tried it 6 times.
Then I rebooted.
Once rebooted everything worked fine.

Is the VBScript just used to set some variables? Or does it do anything else?

Do you have any other VBScript modules in your script? Are they only used to set variables as well, or are they used for other tasks?

 

Did you have a look at the list of processes running (using Task Manager) and see whether there was a number of wscript processes still on the active task list ?

 

If the VBScripts are pretty simple and just do setting of variables etc. then probably the best next step would be to just update your system to latest version of VoiceGuide.

 

Newest version uses a different way of executing the VBScripts (wscript/cscript is not used anymore - Microsoft's ClearScript engine is used instead)

and on systems that has problems with wscript tasks not always closing down (mostly WinXP) then switching to ClearScript resolved that problem.

 

Another approach would be to set the variables using a series of Evaluate Expression modules instead of using VBScript.

[andrewfleury]

This particular vbscript only sets variables.

There are other vbscripts called further in the workflow which do much more like call sql server stored procedures and such.
Removing all vbscripts is not an option.

I had not looked at the Task Manager.

We do have version 6, but I think switching to version 7 means we'd have to change dialogic cards?

We are on Windows 2003 Server R2

[SupportTeam]

The version installed on your system is a "version 7".

 

The script designer application is a "version 6", but the actual software is a "version 7".

 

You can check what version is running by looking at the first few lines of the vgEngine trace. The IVR engine version number is reported there.

 

Recommend monitoring memory usage and tasks running on system, wscript/cscript script executing program may not exit fully unless all objects created within it are properly disposed first. If too many processes remain running then they use up system's resources, and may lead to a situation like you described originally.

 

On systems which use wscript/cscript to execute the VBScripts we also recommend reducing the number of VBScript modules used where possible.

[andrewfleury]

I see it, we are running v7.0.3252.3654

I assume minor version upgrades are free included with our existing license?

For now, I've recommended the server also be rebooted every morning. Perhaps that will reduce the number of times it starts "acting" up

Is upgrading from 7.0 to 7.4 an easy process? Would there be any changes required to scripts to correct any breaking changes?
Do you have some release notes of updates that were added between the version we're running and the latest version?

[SupportTeam]

I assume minor version upgrades are free included with our existing license?

 

Yes.

 

If you are using v7.0 then sounds like your system has now been running for 5+ years, but you can download current v7.4 and upgrade to it for free. Your v7.0 registration code will work with v7.4.

 

To change from one release of VoiceGuide v7 to another:

 

1. Stop VoiceGuide Service and exit all VoiceGuide programs. (eg Script Designer, Voicemail Manager, etc) and all other programs.

2. Run the VoiceGuide install and install into same directory as existing installation. (Do NOT uninstall the previous VoiceGuide installation).

3. Start VoiceGuide service.

 

Running a VoiceGuide install over the top of an existing install will NOT overwrite existing configuration or license files (Config.xml, ConfigLine.xml, VG.INI, VmBoxList.xml, userinfo.lic) and will not remove any of users script or sound files, and will not remove any log files etc.

 

(and rolling back to older version just involves installing older version over top of newer version.)

 

There have been some functionality changes between v7.0 and v7.4 - mainly in areas of how call transfers are made and ow VBSripts are ran. Other basic functionality remained the same.

 

If wscript processes sometimes do not terminate by themselves then regular restarting of system would be one way of clearing these tasks.

Hello,

A continuation of this thread from 2015

We had previously set up the server to reboot on a daily basis and that helped for a while. But now it started to get worse
We Contacted Voiceguide a while back and were told the version 7.4 was no longer available to us (a free upgrade) and that we had to buy version 7.5.

This is what we did, and the problem persists and is actually now worse and happening more often

Here is a normal call that works:

The 'Failing' trace example shows that the VBScript engine cannot be started.

 

This can happen if there is not enough memory on system to start a new VBScript engine task, so would recommend monitoring memory usage on this system.

 

Is anything else running on this system apart from Windows + Dialogic drivers + VoiceGuide ? No 'anti-virus' type programs ?

 

Please also .ZIP up all the vgEngine traces from the day when the 'Failing' excerpt was taken and post the .ZIP here. We can then see what is happening on the system and advise.
