Scheduled service overlaps

[siddharth dadha]

Hello All,
We work in a clustered environment of wM running ver 6.1.
We are facing this problem with scheduled services where one overlaps another.The scheduled service is supposed to run every 15 mins .But since the time of each run is variable the service sometimes takes 20 mins to complete .So before it can complete, the next service is triggered which should not occur. We have tried setting this as a simple job with the 'repeat after end of invocation' option checked as well as trying to set the scheduled service as a complex job.

Unfortunately,None of this worked.
Any deja vu's? If yes, Please post your expert comments..

Thnx,
Sid.

One more point to add to the above..we have also seen cases where two instances of the same scheduled service are triggered at a single time.

These sound like possible bugs related to scheduled tasks running in a cluster. Would advise start working with wM tech support to determine if that's the case. "Repeat after end of invocation" should definitely wait the 15 mins after the current invocation. If it is not, then there would seem to be a bug.

Thanks for the reply Rob.We have contacted wM Support and they have asked for the package with the scheduled service.
Will keep posted after i hear from them..
