ATF - Execute ATF suites via API calls generated CICD adhoc schedule and won't delett

[Community Alums]

Hi Community,

We used API calls to trigger ATF suites to run, but found it will create "CICD adhoc schedule" in table sys_atf_schedule, can won't delete it. It's a defect on ServiceNow or what your suggestion to handle them?

Thanks,

Hi @Community Alums 

This actually happens when you hit ATF run API, ServiceNow actually creates an ad-hoc execution record in the table sys_atf_schedule.

This happens because APi calls test suite does not run directly instead, it queues the the run by creating an ad-hoc schedule.. The ATF runner service job then picks it up and executes it just like a background scheduled job.

That is why you see these CICD adhoc schedules entries.

@Shaqeel  if so, then I need to create a scheduled job to clean-up those ad-hoc scheduled suites to keep the envrnioment, right?

BRs,
Daisy
