Description
                        
                        
                              What would cause the following   
edaprint warning message and how to fix this?   
 'warning message:10/21/2021 13:09:32.143 W dfm scan failed, postponed for 1 second.' 
 
  
                         
                     
                    
                    
                        
                        
                    
                    
                        
                            
                                
Resolution
                            
                            
                                  Resolution :   
The ID being used to scan for scheduled and deffered jobs is user server admin id  : OPSYS\wf_admin  
  
The scan ID requires a password to work, and looking at your   admin.cfg this ID is stored without a password  
  
For example :  
ùËÃËadmin_id = OPSYS\IADMIN  
BEGIN  
  admin_level = SRV  
END  
admin_id = OPSYS\RJK  
BEGIN  
  admin_level = SRV  
END  
  
Here are two options to add the password for this ID, which will work if the password is non-expiring.   
  
The other option is to configure PTH as a secondary provider, and use admin_id = PTH\wf_admin as the effective Server admin under access control settings.   
  
The warning message only appeared because the password was missing, as this requirement has been present since the beginning. It didn't cause performance or any other type of issues.
