Events trigger in cases where execution duration is outside of defined threshold. * Display actual run duration in job history view * Enhance run once future date pattern to match actual future date. Contributes to consistency in job state absorption in new overlapping state ranges. * Allow single node to run without valid lease * Add 90/120 minutes pickup buffer option ==== Bug Fixes ==== * Ad hoc submission validation text inconsistent * Job set to ad hoc active state would not allow one-time immediate submissions. * Workaround String indexoutofbounds issue with winstone server * Read-only users can submit one-time job runs. * Can't save unscheduled active job in postgresql * After saving new user, help icon disappears * MySQL - Audit columns hit truncation error when registered user is too long * Various display bugs === Obsidian 1.4.2 === ==== Bug Fixes ==== * Lock wait timeout fix === Obsidian 1.4.1 === ==== Features / Enhancements ==== * Conditional [[Chaining]] support. * [[Admin_Jobs#Deleting|Delete]] job support. * [[Admin_Jobs#Job_Listing|Job]] view filter inclusivity those with only future states. ==== Bug Fixes ==== * Default initial sorts case insenstive * Status scheduling allowed for gaps * Failed conditional chain prevents scheduling of job * Schedule preview isn't ordered by effective date * JobHistory order by clause sometimes ignored === Obsidian 1.4 === ==== Features / Enhancements ==== * View of saved job history [[Admin_Job_History_(3.x.x and earlier)#Job_History_Details|results]]. * Add schedule shortcut link on Job view ==== Bug Fixes ==== * Various display bugs == Footnotes == <references/>
