Hello,
I was excited to take advantage of the Duplicate Job Control feature in 3.0.0 but it does not appear to be working. At first I assumed the defaults listed on the New Features documentation page, then later explicitly defined them in my jobdefs config: JobDefs { Name = "DefaultJob" ... Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2 Allow Duplicate Jobs = no Allow Higher Duplicates = yes Cancel Queued Duplicates = yes Cancel Running Duplicates = no } I used to set 'per job' the max concurrent jobs to 1, which would not cancel duplicate jobs, but would force them to wait for the running job to finish. What I actually want is for the duplicate job (queued) to be canceled, so that the running job can complete and a redundant job is not then run immediately afterwards. So, I changed the maximum concurrent jobs to 2, hoping to see the duplicate job control cancel one of the duplicate jobs. Here is what I actually experienced. I launched a job, waited for it to reach a running state, then launched an identical job (name, level, priority, etc). To my surprise the identical job reached a running state as well! I thought that according to the above config, the queued job of the same priority should be canceled rather than moved into a running state? JobId Level Name Status ====================================================================== 37802 Increme seismo70.2009-04-21_08.42.17_05 is running 37803 Increme seismo70.2009-04-21_08.42.30_06 is running ==== Anyone have any idea why this might not be working for me? Am I misunderstanding how this should work? thanks!
