Identify Duplicate Schedule Run Dates

When multiple schedules exist for a package, the calendar can produce a time when NextGen® Background Business Processor processes a package more than once during the same date. To avoid this occurrence, NextGen® Background Business Processor includes a feature that enables you to identify duplicate schedule run dates before they occur. At the bottom of the Package Properties window, select the number of days into the future you want NextGen® Background Business Processor to search for duplicate run dates between the schedules for the package. Select the option in the Show duplicate run dates ... command. NextGen® Background Business Processor displays a message to indicate which schedules (if any) overlap and when they do so. To stop showing the duplicate schedule run date message, select the option. Parent topic: Scheduling Packages
