Job Queue Entries | Prevent from running after service crashed

Hello everyone,

I tested a little bit with the Job Queue Entries and found out that the job will run also after a service crash from the taskscheduler, after the service started up again.

Here a small example:

In our Enviroment it is important, that some of the jobs are running sequentially.
I tried to simulate a service crash in the nighttime to check, how the system reacts to this.
- I stopped the service at 21:50 (9:50pm)
- I set the Starting Time to 22:00 (10pm) and the End Time to 22:05 (10:05pm)
- The earliest Start Date/Time was set to 27.05.2024 and 22:00 (10pm) automatically
- I started the service again at 22:15 (10:15pm)
The job, which was timed for 22:00 (10pm) just started running after the service (TaskScheduler) booted up again.

My question is:

Is there any chance for me to prevent the jobs from running parallel, if my TaskScheduler crashes at randomly at nighttime and boots up after two or three hours?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi

Complementing what our colleague has commented, I give you a couple of interesting links, related to some considerations and strategies in managing job queues, in addition to identifying that we can also manage them via API, which allows us more control over them.

Hi

You can create a Codeunit which will have all this codes are called in Sequentially and in the job queue scheduler you can start one codeunit and configure the same

that will run all the task in sequence if the one get failed then rest all the methods will be stopped automatically.

Thanks
