Scheduled Tasks Timing BUG

My suggestion would be if its a custom scheduled task, to delete it and set the start date/time for some time in the future. Then be sure to set it to run on the schedule you're looking for. If your frequency is once per week, then

• set the Period field to Day
• set the Start time field to a time in the future on the actual day and hour/minute you first want it to execute
• set the Every field to 1
• check all the boxes you for the Days you want the task to execute on.

If you want to specifically execute it every Sunday morning at 2am, then your settings would look like this:

This should help resolve the issue you're having.

I think the issue is manually executing a task that is currently disabled sets the last run to now, but doesn't update the "Next run", which then means next time it runs it breaks.

Manually running it does not modify the next run if it's disabled or enabled.

Yes and this means next time you manually run it then errors and doesn't complete

If this is a custom scheduled task, I'd suggest adding some error handling in your code to it gracefully exits the code and shows it's completed even if it does error out. This is probably the issue you're experiencing if it's a custom task.

My task does have error handling, but it is completing successfully, it’s failing once it returns from the execute.

Thanks

Without seeing code, it's hard to tell. My guess is it isn't a bug in Kentico but a big in your code somewhere. We've written a hundred or more custom scheduled tasks and not experienced the issue your talking of unless our custom code errors out and doesn't finish properly.

Maybe debug through your task and see what happens through your code.

I’ve removed all the code so just an empty task, and I’m seeing the same issue.

So create a custom task, set schedule but don’t enable. Manually run twice, on 2nd run the task errors with the above error, and the last result isn’t set and task remains running
