Rules not Running in a space

[newmember]

I have 56 rules on a space.
All rules are based on "inbound"
I have all of the rules running in the "background"
All the rules are to move the contents to other folders.

The rules don't seem to run.
When I go look I always see files in the folder.
When I "reapply all rules" in the folder all the files successfully move to the correct file.

So why wouldn't my rules run when files arrive?

I changed the rule to not "be run in the background" and it still did not execute when I file matching the conditions was put in the space.
However the file did run after I "reapplied the rules" in the space.


Alfresco 3.2CE

This is becoming a real concern.
I can't see anything in the log files that tell me that the rules are not running and this idea of running the background does not seem to be working.  I am now waiting two days for the rules to fire and move the files.  If I re-apply the rules for a space then the rules will run successfully.  This just seems like one of the most basic features of Alfresco.

I have read the other messages in the forum, I am the only person seeing this inactivity?

Thanks

Unfortunetely I have the same problem. My rules (simple workflow to item) work fine only after I use the "Manage Content Rules>Reapply Rules In Space (Reapply Rules in Space and Children)" option.

Linux Debian Lenny
Alfresco 3.2r (with RM applied)
NTLM + Passthru + ldap-ad
CIFS

Thanks a lot for any suggestions

Maybe its the case that this feature was not intended to work in the CE version.
I was reading another port where a user was having the same issue:

Here is another port with the same story back in October 2009:

I did download the "Alfresco-Labs-3Stable" version and this work fine.
Source: wget http://eu.dl.alfresco.com/release/labs/build-1526/Alfresco-Labs-3Stable-Linux-x86-Install?dl_fi...
I tried export my structure, build with "Alfresco-Labs-3Stable", to import into Alfresco-3.2r2 but unfortunately there doesn't work.
For this, I only used the option "export" (Labs-3Stable-Linux-x86-Install) and "import" (Alfresco-3.2r2).
The export/import operation worked fine (spaces/sub-spaces/rules) , but again the rules only work after "Reapply Rules".
Thanks for any suggestion

Just to clarify miudon, the space rules are working for you on version 3.0 and are not working on 3.2r?
Could you provide a sample rule that you are using.

Just in case can you test having update rules and see if it works.
Sometime back I had to do the same for some inbound file rules - just to make sure it is working.

oh my goodness, I had a similar requirement today and while I was doing this - I am encountering the same issue.

I have only 5 rules and I have applied it at "Sites" space level for "Inbound" and "Update" of documents. When the user uploads documents in "DocumentLibrary" of certain sites, the rule gets triggered (rule applied to children spaces as well by selecting the checkbox when configuring rules in Explorer).

I am also facing the same issue like others in this thread. Only when I reapply the rule, and then I upload documents under DocumentLibrary - the rule gets triggered. This is wierd!

I was thinking I was helping someone this morning, but on the same day I end up with the same issue myself!
Any help is appreciated!

Well, my "Update" rules are consistently getting triggered, but my "Inbound" rules are not. (i.e., Update Rule is - Rule which gets triggered when I update the metadata of the document or the document itself with particular pattern of file name).

I kind of guess (logically as a user - without applying any technical knowledge) what could be the problem is - when the "Inbound" rule is applied, sometimes (first time when we apply the rule it works) the file is not completely created in the repository. So the rules are not kicked in. (I might be completely WRONG - please excuse me - I am just trying to find reasons for rules not triggering sometimes!).

Since update rule is consistently working, I am at least fine for now.

Thanks for the feedback.
I am seeing that my ticket has not been seen yet, hopefully soon.
https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-3816
I am also seeing that none of the Alfresco Team has commented on this thread, I hope I am not in left field with this problem.
