KBI 311025 Enhancement: Setting The Value Of If AdHoc Job Not Started By Rollover, Purge The Job Instance Option To False For Jobs Having No Schedule
Version
Argent Job Scheduler 10.0A-1407-T1 and later
Date
Thursday, 31 July 2014
Summary
Argent Job Scheduler installation has been enhanced by setting the value of ‘If AdHoc Job Not Started By Rollover, Purge The Job Instance‘ option to FALSE by default, for the Jobs that do not have any schedule
Technical Background
In prior versions, irrespective of whether a Job is associated with a Schedule or not, the flag ‘If AdHoc Job Not Started By Rollover, Purge The Job Instance‘ is set to TRUE
Also, when a Job without Schedule component is saved, the flag is defaulted to TRUE
i.e. Save option does not honour the change in flag value set by the user using a direct database edit
When such a Job becomes a post Job or part of a Job sequence macro of a parent Job and if the parent Job is submitted ad-hoc, the Jobs without Schedule will get purged at Rollover
In version 1407-T1, Argent Job Scheduler has been enhanced by setting the value for ‘If AdHoc Job Not Started By Rollover, Purge The Job Instance‘ to FALSE for the Jobs that do NOT have any schedule
The flag value for the Jobs that do not have any schedule may be reset to TRUE by the user using a direct database edit
While saving such a Job after editing, the current status of the flag will be honoured, despite of the fact whether a Schedule exists or not
This way the Jobs without Schedule which is a post Job or part of Job sequence macro will NOT get purged at Rollover
Resolution
Upgrade to Argent Job Scheduler 10.0A-1407-T1 or later
