Symptoms

If a schedule is configured using a "wraparound" scenario, where the effective time period for the schedule crosses midnight, adTempus will fail to run jobs during a portion of the schedule period.

Example 

A Schedule Trigger is configured to run at a specified interval, with a start time that is later in the day than the end time (for example, between 6:00 am and 4:00 am). The intended behavior is for the job to execute except during the period from 4:00 am to 6:00 am. Instead, adTempus will miss executions from 12:00 am to 4:00 am, and will only execute the job from 6:00 am to 11:59 pm.

Workaround

This scheduling scenario can be accommodated by using two separate schedules on the Schedule Trigger:

  • The first Schedule is configured to execute the job at the desired interval between 12:00 am and 4:00 am.
  • The second Schedule is configured to execute the job at the desired interval between 6:00 am and 11:59 pm.

Status

  • adTempus 3
