"Time Window for each run day", doesn't always work?

I had a job defined that only was able to run in a very limited time window because of the need to lock files. I gave it a time window of 1:00am to 1:15am Saturdays.

A previous scheduled job had locked up the job queue (waiting for a tape) and all scheduled jobs were pending for days.

After clearing the locked job, the remaining jobs began to run, including the Saturday job, although they were out of their time Windows.

I'm in a lot of trouble because the Saturday job that had the limited time window ran and corrupted a critical database.

How can this be explained?

I've had a similar thing happen in v9.1. The jobs run outside of their time window when they get a chance and I can't see any way of stopping them.

Those other jobs had actually "started" at their assigned times, they were just waiting for a response to the hung job.

Had you also selected the Automatic Cancellation option? see page 375 of the Admin Guide



6. Click Enable automatic cancellation, and then type the number of hours or minutes in the Cancel job if not completed within option.

I've stopped trying to stop the jobs from coming up as 'Out of Time Window' as I can't see how to. What I do instead is....

Make sure there isn't a tape in the drive.
Run the job that is 'Out of Time Window'.
You are then prompted to insert Media.
Cancel the job.
Hey presto - the schedule is back to normal.

Sorted!

Hello there,

Here are a few technotes which might give you a better insight as regards to what the problem could be !

How to configure a job to run within a specified time frame

What to check when Backup Exec for Windows Servers jobs are not running according to schedule

http://support.veritas.com/docs/192098

Due to time changes related to daylight savings time VERITAS Backup Exec (tm) 9.x for Windows Servers jobs will run one hour before or one hour after the previously defined schedule

When schedule jobs run, they go immediately into the "Not in Time Window" status

Hopefully this should resolve your issue.
