Running the Orchestrator

Quick Start - Watch in Real Time

To run the orchestrator and watch it in real-time (daemon mode):

cd /Users/daveporter/Desktop/CODING-2024/Ferrero-Opentext/Python-Version
python3 scripts/orchestrator.py --daemon

This will:

• Run continuously in the foreground
• Check every minute for tasks that need to run
• Show all output in your terminal
• Press Ctrl+C to stop

---

Other Run Modes

Force Run All Tasks Immediately

python3 scripts/orchestrator.py --force

Runs all tasks right now, ignoring their schedules.

Single Check (Cron Mode)

python3 scripts/orchestrator.py

Checks once, runs any due tasks, then exits. This is what cron would call.

---

Current Task Schedule

• A1→A2 Box Uploader: Every 5 minutes (processes 2 campaigns)
• A2→A3 Upload Polling: Every 5 minutes (processes ALL files)
• A4 Box Uploader: Every 10 minutes
• A4 Webhook Monitor: Every 5 minutes
• A5→A6 Download: Every 5 minutes
• B1→B2 Download: Every 10 minutes
• Daily Report: Once per day at 7 PM

Logs

• Orchestrator logs: logs/orchestrator.log
• Individual script logs: logs/a1_to_a2_box.log, logs/a2_to_a3.log, etc.

Troubleshooting

If you see git output instead of orchestrator output, make sure you're running:

python3 scripts/orchestrator.py --daemon

NOT:

git pull
