Hi Marianne and thanks for the feedback, valuable as always :)

I seem to recall we've already experimented that inconsistence when editing the window of a calendar based schedule with Java GUI, maybe something like a couple of years ago, just after the 7.7.2 upgrade (that was solved with the EEB if I remember well).

By the way, I opened a case in the meanwhile because the disk pools were nearly saturated: I'll update the results as soon as I have some news.

Bye!

You should have some news soon, as I was talking about this with the TSE who has the case.

What I would like to see, is what is happening with the NBDB, which is where the 'Deferred Duplication' setting is held.

What is needed
 
With the 'Postpone creation of this copy until until the source copy is about to expire'  (also known as Deferred duplication) NOT set for a SLP secondary operation, save the output of:
 
nbdb_unload c:\tmp\nbdb_output_before    <<<< output should end up in this dir
 
Next, set the 'Postpone creation of this copy until until the source copy is about to expire'  feature and if possible grab a screen shot of this.
 
Immediately run:
 
nbdb_unload c:\tmp\nbdb_output_deferred_set
 
Wait the required time for the issue to occur and then run this command:
 
 
 
This should create three dirs, with three nbdb_unloads, which will show what is hapening in the DB during the issue.
