I think this is how it is supposed to work.  When you ask for it to predict
for a date, it is predicting for that date, not up to that date...

e.g. for using -predict with a date 2 weeks out, think of it as predicting
what would happen if I stopped bprd for 2 weeks and then started it?  you
wouldn't run all the jobs to catch up to that time.  you would have missed
those.

Try passing it a time as well for some time during the day when all your
windows are closed.  You won't get anything back.

Based on a recent thread on this list, I've been looking into bpschedreq
-predict.


It seems that it'll report only the next occurance of a client & class for the
given supplied date. If I set a date out a couple of days, the list is almost
no different than the date set for the end of tomorrow.


Once a Class/client combination is discovered, the bpschedreq command looks no
further for repeat instances.  My hourly archived-redo log incrementals are
reported once.


This is v3.4.  Does v4.5 work the same?  Anybody have a work-around?
