Jobs stuck in true state and not progressing

We have a few deferred executions that are lingering in the job queue and not progressing. The deferred operation itself has an execution status of TRUE, but the two Execute SQL subtasks are kept in the FALSE state. The job doesn't appear frozen, and I don't see any failures, it's just not progressing. I tried executing another deferred operation for the same target system,and they ran fine - it's just these two that are stuck in the job queue.

Does anyone know why this would happen, or how to diagnose further?

  • Hi,

    The process chain VID_Execute_DialogDeferredOperation has retries configured on the 1st step ...... 24 retries with a latency of 120 minutes ...... so it could take up to 2 days for the job to process and ultimately freeze.  Take a look at the process step in JobQueueInfo ..... it should tell you how many retries it has done so far.  Unfortunately the error message is not recorded until it actually freezes.

    HTH, Barry.
