Issue/Introduction

A C_PERIOD object (create by running a Job using "Execute - Recurring" will go from "Stopped" (after stopping its associated queue) to "Sleeping" when a child job is cancelled.
This will cause any child job to be active again.

 

Reproduction details :

• Create a simple JOBP

• Execute it (Execute recurring)

• Check the corresponding C_PERIOD object in the activities Window

• Stop the associated Queue

• Check again your C_PERIOD and JOBP objects

• Stop the associated JOBP

• Check again your objects

Expected behavior :- The C_PERIOD object should remain "Stopped" since the Queue is stopped

• The JOBP should not remain at all in the activities Window after being cancelled

Actual behavior :-

• The C_PERIOD object is "Active" again after few minutes (even though the Queue is still stopped)

• Eventually, the JOBP will appear again in "Waiting for Queue slot" status
