Dealing with missed systems

Sometimes Auto Pilot is unable to back up a system. When this happens, it is recorded in the Auto Pilot Daily Log, and a make-up job is rescheduled (if the option to reschedule missed targets is flagged). ``If the Auto Pilot job fails'' explains how make-up jobs are handled.

If you want to cancel the make-up job (and have the job revert to the regularly scheduled Auto Pilot job), follow the steps below:

Start SCO ARCserve/Open's Job Queue Manager.
Select the Auto Pilot make-up job.
Highlight the make-up job you want to cancel.
Delete the make-up job.
The make-up job reverts to the next regularly scheduled Auto Pilot job.

If the job you deleted had an ACTIVE rather than READY status, the job reschedules itself as another make-up job. When this job has a READY status, delete it again. This time, the job reverts to the regularly scheduled Auto Pilot job.
