VMware View Recompose is not happening properly

[gvenkatsumanth]

We have a automated floating pool with 150 vm's in our organization.

I recomposed the pool by selecting the option "wait for the users to logoff". At the time of recompose there are around 100 users connected to the desktops. But those desktops are not recomposed after the users logged off the sessions.

But in the View administrator console i have seen the task as "none" for those desktops.

Why the recompose is not done on those machines?

Is there anything in the event logs of View that would show that the task completed or was canceled? 

[gvenkatsumanth]

No. Initially it was showing in the task as "recompose" for the desktops to which users are connected. But later the task came to "none" but the desktops are not recomposed.

I feel the same, but the task is performed after 3 hours and ends ok. I have not found the reason why it takes so long to start. Any ideas?

PS: Sorry for my English.

But the recompose did not happen at all. Finally i have manually recomposed the pending desktops. Any info or suggestions on this pls?

[mittim12]

So the manual one at a time worked?   Maybe it simply timed out waiting on the end users to disconnect.  

[gvenkatsumanth]

what is the time out duration?

[mittim12]

I honestly don't know.  A timeout is the only thing that makes sense to me.   

[gvenkatsumanth]

Can anyone say what is the timeout for a task to be completed in View 4.6?

[kgsivan]

The timeout of the task is defined with Composer service. Default it is 60 minutes.

You can change this property at <VirtualCenter PropertyCollectorTimeout="60" VcTaskTimeout="60" />

in file named SviWebService.exe.config located in View composer program directory
