$ autoflags -a

When the job was supposed to have started it logged this instead in the event_demon log:-

[07/21/2022 22:00:14]      CAUAJM_I_40154 Already scheduled job <146380_StopBusinessEventBox>. Cannot start job.

Environment

Workload Automation AE (AutoSys)

Resolution

That message suggests the box already ran once per the current run_num.

If this specific user's case the job in question was a box within a box.

The outer box was running, the inner box was active but its start time had not yet occurred when someone force started the inner box job's jobs.

The inner jobs all ran to success, which caused the inner box to go to success.

So when the inner box'es start time occurred and autosys processed the event it did not run the job as it already ran once per the top level parent's run_num.

This is by design.
