BE 9.1 Time Window

[#1]

I was wondering if anyone has found a way to turn off the schedulerTime Window function. I would really rather that it worked like itdoes in 8.6. If I schedule a job to run, I want it to run regardlessif it has to run late because some other job ran long.For instance, last night my tape cleaning job didn't run because theuser-systems backup job ran 4 hours longer than usual.Thanks,Greg

In this case the whole run was longer than 24 hours. The cleaning jobon the end of the chain never ran.On my system it doesn't matter if the job is set to queued. If thetime window runs out, it gets set to "not in time window". It wouldbe great if I could set up certain jobs not to have the window, just astart time.On 6 Jan 2005 17:19:43 -0500, "Brian" wrote:>>Greg Huntzinger wrote:>>I was wondering if anyone has found a way to turn off the scheduler>>Time Window function.

Don't know about the time window thing. I have jobs that fail to run"not in time window" nearly every night, except on weekends. The datathat I backup is very inconsistent and backup times vary wildly fromnight to night.As for the cleanings, this is a DDS4 autoloader drive and with theamount of tape that I put through it, it seems to need to be cleanedevery few days. If I miss one, I start getting hard errors. Thedrive has just been fully rebuilt and Sony said my cleaning schedulesounded about right.What seems to have fixed the problem this time is to delete the joband recreate it.On 7 Jan 2005 11:40:47 -0500, "Brian" wrote:>>Greg Huntzinger wrote:>>In this case the whole run was longer than 24 hours.
