Forcing Scheduled Jobs To Run; How Forcing Jobs To Run Affects Job Settings - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User Manual

You can "force" scheduled jobs to run prior to their scheduled time by selecting the job and clicking the
Run command from the Commands task pane. Alternatively, you can select the job from the job view,
right-click and select Run from the shortcut menu. You can also run the job from the Job Status view.
Data Protector Express will execute the job immediately.
Note that forcing a job that is scheduled for the same day marks the job as complete for that day. Data
Protector Express resets the job on the next day so it will run as scheduled. As a result, if you force a job
to run on the same day that it is scheduled to run, it only runs once on that day.
Select a job, then run it from the Shortcut menu
When you force a scheduled job to run before its scheduled time, Data Protector Express does not
automatically update certain settings on the Options and Device/Media property pages of the job. Recall
that when a scheduled job with an automatic rotation is run, Data Protector Express updates the Backup
mode, Write mode, New media location, New media name and Media settings on the Options and
Device/Media property pages of the job to reflect that job's place in the rotation schedule. However,
when a job is forced to run before its scheduled time, Data Protector Express does not update these
settings.
