Scheduling: Do not start job after deadline time

I upgraded to BE 2012 recently and have few runaway jobs that take more than 12-14hours, as such I want other jobs if they cannot start within the time to cancel out. Right now, I have jobs runnig all the time and it affects the backup schedule. 

 

Job1: Start time: 9PM; Takes approx 14hrs.

Job2: Start time: 10PM;  Should not start after 11AM the next day. 

 

So if Job1 took 14hours then, Job2 should cancel out and not start at all. I DONOT want to cancel Job1 before 11am next day if running, this will make the backup useless. I was able to do this on BE2010.

Hi

You will see the option of keep the job scheduled for 240 hours as default set so please change this to lower the hours before it is rescheduled

Also as like in BE 2010 there is cancel option below if job is still running more than time it is suppose too

Have attached this in jpeg please check it out

Thanks
