Known problems with Task Scheduler in NAV2017 CU19?

kellebrakellebra Member Posts: 2
Hi!

We are currently updating our NAV2017 from CU5 to CU19.

In CU5 we had some trouble with the task scheduler and hoped it would get better in CU19.
Sadly we still have problems with it.

Currently we have more 40 job queue entries in 2 categories.
There are many days were everything works fine in our test system. But on other days one category is not currectly processed.
Let´s call the first category "A". Entries in category "A" are processed correctly.
Category "B" seems to work correct. No errors and the tasks are schaduled.
But it looks like the tasks in category "B" are only rescheduled and not executed.

It is a very annoying thing, because it is difficult to monitor.

Does someone have similar experiences or an idea what could cause the problems?

Kind regards

    Hi Kellebra,
    Did you upgrade the NAV application (objects) to CU19 too? Or did you only upgrade the NAV platform to CU19? A few critical issues are resolved in the platform updates, but there are also quite some fixed made in the application. I don't know the details of all fixes or your issue. But your description sounds a bit like ID 273824 (last one in the following list)

    Thank you for your answer.
    We have both updated.

    May be the fix from CU20 will help. I think it should be quite safe to import only the changes from COD 448,448 and 455. What do you think?
