[Bacula-users] Duplicate Job Control?


Hello,

I was excited to take advantage of the Duplicate Job Control feature in 
3.0.0 but it does not appear to be working.  At first I assumed the 
defaults listed on the New Features documentation page, then later 
explicitly defined them in my jobdefs config:

JobDefs {
   Name = "DefaultJob"
   ...
   Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
   Allow Duplicate Jobs = no
   Allow Higher Duplicates = yes
   Cancel Queued Duplicates = yes
   Cancel Running Duplicates = no
}

I used to set 'per job' the max concurrent jobs to 1, which would not 
cancel duplicate jobs, but would force them to wait for the running job 
to finish.

What I actually want is for the duplicate job (queued) to be canceled,
so that the running job can complete and a redundant job is not then run 
immediately afterwards.  So, I changed the maximum concurrent jobs to 2,
hoping to see the duplicate job control cancel one of the duplicate jobs.

Here is what I actually experienced.  I launched a job, waited for it to 
reach a running state, then launched an identical job (name, level, 
priority, etc).  To my surprise the identical job reached a running 
state as well!  I thought that according to the above config, the queued 
job of the same priority should be canceled rather than moved into a 
running state?

  JobId Level   Name                       Status

  37803 Increme  seismo70.2009-04-21_08.42.30_06 is running

Anyone have any idea why this might not be working for me?
Am I misunderstanding how this should work?

thanks!
