Exception Rule: Execute on existing data functionality is not working

[sath]

Hi,

We have configured an exception rule as shown below and checked "Execute on existing data".

But the VIs which were created before 3/28 were not deferred and the VIs created after 3/28 are getting deferred.

The scheduled job 'Associate existing VIs with Auto Exception Rule' is configured to run everyday at 12.30pm and I see under syslog_transactions that this job is running at 12.30pm, but when I click on 'Execute now' button, I don't see anything on logs, it looks like manual execution of this scheduled job is not working at all.

If we need to defer all the VIs that were created(which matches the condition defined on exception rule), do we need to set 'valid from' date to the date when VI ingestion was started on the instance? Please advise.

Hello @sath 

This is kind of workaround though.

we can't copy the scheduled job script and run from background script always.

Is there a UI action, that does the same thing? If yes, then you can use the UI action instead of scheduled Job.

I'm not very sure if scheduled job is supposed to run on demand in this case.

Please mark this answer as helpful and correct if helped

Kind Regards,

Ravi Chandra.

Hi @Ravi Chandra_K , I don't see any UI action that runs the scheduled job script or does the similar work. But if "Execute on existing data" checkbox is set to true on exception rule, it should execute the rule on old VIs too right?
