Operation exceptions created with a time validity and a processing date filter, but without a max counter, are applied outside the time window.

Investigation

In Exception, choose type Hold. The exception doesn't take into account the time window when the processing date box is checked, and the counter box is not checked.

For Example:

1. Create uprocs TESTH, TEST1, TEST2, TEST3, TESTT 
2. Create session TESTS with the uprocs above 
3. Create a scheduled task TESTTASK with rule CAL , and save.
4. Create a hold exception on task TESTTASK uproc TEST2: 

e.g. time window from 12:00 to 12:05, processing date 13/09/2013 and uncheck the counter box. 

5. Launch TESTTASK manually within the exception slot , e.g. at 12:03, TESTH and TEST1 will complete, TEST2 will be held due to the exception --> Normal behavior
6. Launch TESTTASK manually at 12:06(after exception period, also tried before exception period)

Results

Actual:  TESTH and TEST1 will complete, TEST2 will be held.
Expected:  This should not be the case since the exception's window period is 12:00 to 12:05. 

If the counter is enabled and set to 10, following the procedure above will result in TEST2 completing at 12:06.

If the processing date is unchecked, following the procedure above will result in TEST2 completing at 12:06.
