Description

In some scenarios (such as when database problems occur), adTempus may fail to record the completion of a job instance. This results in an instance that shows as active in the Console even though it is no longer running. Such a phantom instance may also disrupt job flow, in cases where other jobs depend on the state of the job, or where the job is configured to not allow multiple concurrent instances. Though the Console shows the "Terminate" command for the instance, using this command has no effect, as there is no real instance to terminate.

The adTempus server has been updated so that in situations like this the Terminate command will update the database record for the instance to show a status of "Unknown." The user can then use the "Override Status" command to set the instance to Succeeded or Failed as appropriate.
