Deployed Batch Jobs are not queued properly

Can you reproduce a simple issue in rollbase.com environment? Or at least give more specific info.

Hi Pavel,



Here is the scenario that we encountered with the new batch jobs (Data Maintenance):



In screen 1 This shows all of our deployed batch jobs:







- These were setup on their respective dates and was running fine beforehand.

What happened is we had to edit a few of the batch jobs and went to the batch job Queue which is below:



Screen 2:







- As you may have noticed, only the Generate Report and System weekly backup jobs are on Queue and only 2 Data Maintenance Batch Jobs from the list of 7 jobs.



This is the 'issue' that we encountered.

We are now unsure whether they are actually running in-system and not

Hi Again Pavel,



Additionally, while we are on the topic of batch jobs, I think that if you could add the enhancement to provide Formula Bodies for all Batch Jobs (including Generate Report and System Backup) - maybe with a boolean return type.



We can then just check the current date and send the reports through logic:



Example:

Generate Report Batch Job

Start at: 1/1/2012

Repeat Every: 1 Day



Formula Body:



With a formula body per Batch Job we can check for any Date we chose, like the first of the month, last of the month and other dates that we would have to send reports or generate backup files.



I hope you can consider this ^_^

This would greatly help the development of batch jobs.

Bump :-)

I will check what can be done.

I've updated UI to show exactly when Batch Job will run next time. Please let me know if you'll notice anything unusual.

Ok, thank you :-)

I think the UI is now in-tune with the batch jobs that are queued. Will have to check and test for our projects though, but it seems fine =) including the validation and debug, - Thanks for this.



Additionally, could we have the formula body for batch jobs other than data maintenance?

Mock-up is in the above comments.
