Tridion 2009 SP1: Custom Page that uses TDSE. Published page stays in publishing queue

tridion, tridion2009

Solution

This is pretty odd, I can't understand what the difference would be.

Have you tried enabling Publisher Logs? Or even better, run the publisher in debug mode (tcmpublisher /debug) and try to figure out what's going on. Since it's stuck "In Progress" chances are that the publisher is the responsible for this.

Problem

I am writing a custom page for Tridion 2009 SP 1 that publishes a page based on the query string, which will be called from a scheduled task. I am using the following code: ``` string pageId = Request.QueryString["page_id"]; string targetId = Request.QueryString["publication_target_id"]; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(pageId)) { Response.Write("This page is intended to be called automatically with a " + + "page id and publication target id"); return; } TDSE tdse = new TDSE(); string publicationId = pageId.Split('-')[0].Substring(4); var publication = tdse.GetPublication("tcm:0-" + publicationId + "-1"); var page = tdse.GetPage(pageId, publication); var target = tdse.GetPublicationTarget(targetId); page.Publish(target, true, false, true); Response.Write("Successfully published " + page.Title + " to " + target.Title); ``` This seems to work and I can see the Page(s) in the queue but they remain in the "In progress" state. I can still publish pages manually with no issues. The deployer log shows that it is not receiving the work however I can see the items in the c:\tridion\work folder (I'm using the local file system pub target). Any ideas? Update: here's the publish log when the Publisher was running like TcmPublisher /debug ``` 01/06/2012 14:34:17 <5440> [Publisher] Queue message [769571] is retrieved from Queue consumer handler for
