unknown scheduled job

Hello,
some time ago I made a job Job_X_Test.

After running it a while, I deleted this job from my project. Now it is still running every night, despite of that job does not actually exist. Where do I know that it is actually running? Well, I made a little script into that job that sends me the e-mail, if error occures. And now it sends me the error every night. I cannot see the job definition itself in DS management console…

How to fix such mess?

Go into the scheduling software for your OS (Windows Task Scheduler under Control Panel, or whatever the equivalent is for LINUX/UNIX), and you should see an “extra” job there, relative to your schedules.

The way to find it: Temporarily disable all schedules in the DI web admin – this removes them in the OS scheduler. So you’d just see the one orphaned job still enabled. Delete that job in the OS scheduler, then re-enable your DI schedules.

Thanks dude!

This made me so many headache. I didnt know that BO uses OS’s scheduler.
I deleted all OS’s and DS-s schedules and then I made new schedules for my job.

After today, I always double check the job entries also in the Scheduled Tasks folder.

Normally, they don’t get out of sync.

But a best practice is, if you have a Job that you have scheduled, be sure to deactivate the schedules, before deleting that Job.
