IMan 4.2 - PU5 - INSTANCEID being reused in same job (2 replies)
Found more instances using a GROUP BY query:
Dug a little deeper and this has to do with the Pause Schedules setting. It appears that when you pause the schedules, any currently schedules jobs will reserve the INSTANCEID value, but if you step through the job, the INSTANCEID is still incremented. This means that when you eventually un-pause the schedules, the INSTANCEID will go back to a previous value, doubling up like in my screenshots. Additionally, it appears that the setting of a previous INSTANCEID value is written to the JOBDETAIL job and so it reduces the NEXTNO value, leading to more duplicates.
I can show you in a meeting if you want, I am able to cause IMan to double up on INSTANCEID values at will.
For some reason IMan appears to be re-using the INSTANCEID
Screenshot1: Job "SENT1XCEL1MAGE1-ProductImport" just ran and updated the LASTRUNDATE. NEXTNO is set to 10567.
Screenshot2: Job "SENT1XCEL1MAGE1-ProductImport" has logged "Starting job." 5 times for INSTANCEID 10567
Screenshot3: Job "SENT1XCEL1MAGE1-ProductImport" has the INSTANCEID value jumping all over the place. It appears to increment to 10589 before running 10564 twice and then incrementing up to 10571. After that it appears to revert to 10564 again, running twice.
