Hi,

I scheduled (LSF) a DI job to run on daily basis at 8 am . but it is running twice in a day.

ex: job started running 01/04/2019 at 8 am twice, on 2nd only once,etc see below. what might be the reason for this .please suggest.

date	time
01/04/2019	8:00 AM
01/04/2019	8:00 AM
02/04/2019	8:00 AM
03/04/2019	8:00 AM
03/04/2019	8:00 AM
04/04/2019	8:00 AM
05/04/2019	8:00 AM
06/04/2019	8:00 AM
06/04/2019	8:00 AM
07/04/2019	8:00 AM

I suggest you check Platform Process Manager for duplicated flow definitions. I find it a lot easier to see all of the currently scheduled flows in PPM than in SAS Management Console.

Agree with SASKiwi's suggestion.

It does sound like you have two instances scheduled, maybe with different user id's? Platform Flow Manager may help you find the duplicate.

Another best practice we use is to check the flow property: Allow only one instance of the flow to run at a time.
