ArcMap hanging issue when launching from WMX

AndyOldham

When opening a map document from WMX's jobs, randomly it fails to load the map document. WMX popup widnow for processing status is still there, and in ArcMap the layers are added to TOC but no map displayed.
I set up WMX logging option to 5 and checked ArcMap log when loading process is hung. Below is what I got when it is hung:
JTXExtension: Connected to default database
JTXExtension. PrepareMXD: Sleeping while waiting for ArcMap UI to be initialized
JTXExtension: Added listener, FullName = ESRI.ArcGIS.JTXExt.JobPropsDockWin, type string = ~~~
JTXExtension: Added listener, FullName = ESRI.ArcGIS.JTXExt.DockableWindows.WorkflowWindow, type string = ~~~
JTXExtension: Added listener, FullName = ESRI.ArcGIS.JTXExt.Extension, type string = ESRI.ArcGIS.JTXExt.Extension

In ArcMap JTX Extension toolbar didn't show up.
What does this log mean??
I could launch it again after deleting Job Map and Normal.mxt files from specific user's and All User's local setting folder. Withut laoding the maps from WMX, ArcMap worked fine with Normal.mxt.

Any suggestion/help would be appreciated...

Are you referring to SP3/4 for Desktop or WMX?

We have the issue too and Im pretty sure its still occuring on Desktop SP4+WMX SP4. It does seem to be machine specific though as I never have the issue.

I am referring to the SP versions for both Desktop and WMX.

To check this once more, I opened a job from WMX, and ArcMap actually opened!
Then I closed ArcMap and opened the job again from WMX - and this time it did not open.
The logfile telles the same story as usual:
"JTXExtension.PrepareMXD: Sleeping while waiting for ArcMap UI to be initialized"

This is on the machine with SP4 for Desktop and WMX.

The only difference between these machines is that I have 10.0 SP 4 installed and the other machine only SP 3.

I do not have any extensions or secured layers that should prevent ArcMap from opening.

I have opened the same job on a different machine, and saved the mxd to disk.
This mxd opens perfectly on my machine.
So the mxd itself seems to be ok, but launching it from WorkflowManager is a problem.

The only difference between these machines is that I have 10.0 SP 4 installed and the other machine only SP 3.

We are also running into this issue with one of our users. Any advice would be welcome.

Does the machine that is experiencing this issue have any additional extensions installed that might be preventing ArcMap from opening?

Another potential cause could be a secured layer that does not have credentials stored for it. In this case it will open a dialog asking for a username and password and it could be that this dialog is appearing behind another window so that it is not easily seen.

Hi,

I am having a similar situation when opening a job from Workflow Manager.
The ArcMap process is started, but the ArcMap UI itself does not appear.
Killing the ArcMap process and opening the job again from Workflow Manager sometimes work, but not always.
Opening the job from another pc works fine (same user logged in).

I am using Windows 7, 64-bit.

Here is the last part of the WMX log:

Any ideas?

It looks like the extension is not registered correctly inside of ArcMap/ArcCatalog. You can confirm this by opening either one of these applications and try to enable the Workflow Manager extension.
This could be as a result of an error that occurred during the installation of the extension. I will suggest re-installing Workflow Manager desktop and see if this issue still persists.

Thanks,
Tope

Thanks Tope.

Do you have any other suggestions?

TopeBello

Hi,

It is still trying to load the map then it will attempt to load the extension and the job. I have seen this issue in a situation where the map layers are not accessible or have broken layers in your job type map template. You should take a look at the contents of the map to make sure everything appears fine.
Also, look in the WMX-logs in the log folder. There will be more messages logged into that file.

Thanks,
Tope
