Add-Log, Job-ErrorMessage or Write-Host not working

Issue

Add-Log is not logging to powerJobs Processor TraceWindow when running inside the JobProcessor (in “PowerJobs Console” and “PowerJobs Processor ISE” it works) - Failed Jobs that are located in the Job-Queue have no Error-Message.

Cause

One cause could be that another extension is loaded in the JobProcessor and reconfigured the Logging-Environment of log4net.

Solution

  • Uninstall all other extensions other than powerJobs Processor from the Autodesk-Extensions directory (e.g. “C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Vault {Year}\Extensions”) that are using log4net
  • Change the logging-configuration file of all other extensions using log4net by uncommenting the root appender (“<root>…</root>”)
