1052.0. ""Job does not exist" error" by CSC32::SMILEY () Tue Apr 02 1996 07:04

    
    I have a customer reporting the following strange behavior on 
    Operating System Info : Digital UNIX v3.2d-1
    Hardware Info : 8400 Server,  2100 Agent
    Software Info : PolyCenter Scheduler v3.0-2:
    
      
    
    We have a job which refuses to schedule for 07-Apr saying "Job does not
    exist". It will schedule for 06-Apr or 08-Apr.  Log Follows:

    Any ideas why the 7th  is a bad day - seems any other date works?

    This is strange.  I'm sure engineering will respond to this and
    probably test it, but I'd like to know if you've checked the
    other fields related to scheduling for this job, such as (1) days
    of the week restrictions, (2) special days restrictions, (3) partition
    availability.
1052.2Something strange about 7-APR-1996MUZICK::MORIARTYTue Apr 02 1996 15:2514
    
    This is a strange one. Yes it works for other times but not
    for 7-APR-1996. I get the same results. We will have to look
    into this one, but there is definitely a problem here, a strange
    one, very strange. Even worse when I create a job with that 
    date it returns "duplicate job". There is definitely a bug
    here. We will have to take a hard look at it. 
    
    I will have someone post a workaround to allow you to continue.
    Because we certainly will not have a patch for you in the next
    five days.
    
    Sorry the inconvenience, and thanks for informing us about the
    problem.
1052.3Daylight Savings TimeMUZICK::RITCHIEElaine Kokernak Ritchie, 227-3089Tue Apr 02 1996 16:5211
The problem is a combination of April 7th and the time chosen.
Here in the U.S., Daylight Savings Time begins the first Sunday
in April.  Thus, there is no "2:00" through "2:59".

Scheduler is not handling this correctly, and we'll put this on
our list of things to fix.

In the meantime, choose 1:59 or 3:00 to get the job to run.  You
may have to create a new job, once the existing job is corrupted.
