Deferred nightly actions on test with day-time schedule

Post by PH »

It seems that when a test is performed between 8 AM and 11 PM, and it has an action profile where one of the actions is performed only between 06 AM and 10 PM with deferred actions, the deferred action will not be performed in the morning if the test goes bad between 10 PM and 11 PM and still is down in the morning when the test schedule starts (at 8 AM).

We were expecting the following:
Day 1:
10.00 PM end of action schedule
10.30 PM test goes bad
11.00 PM end of test schedule
Day 2:
06.00 AM start of action schedule
08.00 AM start of test schedule - deferred action performed

However, the deferred action was nefer performed and the test was bad for 2 days before we discovered the error.

Should this work as expected above, or do we need to make new action profiles matching the schedule of the test, so that the test is always active at the time when the action schedule starts?

That's the reason - actions allowed from 6 AM while test is out of schedule at this time (test probes start from 8 AM).
You may align schedules (just change start time for the actions to 8AM), then it should work in the way you need.
