stopping jobs being rescheduled if missed

hi,

i wonder if anyone can tell me how to stop  a job being rescheduled if it gets missed in backupexec 2016.

in previous versions i recall setting a start no later than xxxx time in the schedule, but i cant see that option in 2016? is that option still there somewhere?

the schedule queue options settings (reschedule the job option / cancel the job if it's still running after being scheduled) don't seem to achieve it.

thanks

"start no later than xxxx time" was replaced by the  "reschedule the job option" because there is a need to let the job wait for more than 24 hours.

Suppose you have a job which starts at 0200 and you previously specified "start no later than 1000", specifying reschedule job after 8 hours (I can't remember the exact phrasing of the option) achieves the same thing. In both cases, after 1000 hrs, the job will be missed.

thx will give it a go

it sorta makes sense but i personally prefer the old wording

As I said earlier, the old wording only allows a job to wait for at most 24 hours.  In some cases, there is a need to wait for more than 24 hours.
