Maintenance Plan - Tasks are not executing in the order they were created

I've created a new maintenance plan to perform differential backups but the tasks I created don't necessarily seem to execute in order all the time.  These are the tasks and order assigned when I created the plan using the Maintenance Plan Wizard:
Back Up Database (Differential)
Clean Up History
Maintenance Clean Up Task
Here's the deal...When it executes in the order they were created (above), all my old backups are deleted successfully.  However, there have been instances where, for example, the Maintenance Clean Up task executes before the
Clean up History task.  When this happens, only one of my backup files is deleted successfully but not the second (I have two .bak files needing to be removed).  Furthermore, I noticed that the backup that wasn't deleted when it should
have gets deleted at the next increment when new backups are created.
Again, this does not happen when the tasks run in the sequence shown above.  Only one old backup gets deleted (instead of two) when one of the above item is out of sequence.  Strange behavior to say the least.
Any feedback on this will be appreciated!

If you do not set up precedence constraints it runs all tasks at the same time.

    I'm on a windows laptop using iTunes sharing through the family to connect with Apple TV.
    After choosing the folder of photos to be shared and displayed on the appletv and when I choose to show on screen, they are not shown in the order they are in the original folder.
    How to pair show in a certain order, for example, sorted by name.

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

  • Rules in Outlook are not processed in the order listed

    I have created a new rule today to filter out all email that is not directly sent to me to a folder called "process later" hanging off "Inbox"
    Problem is, even thou it is the last rule created, and appears to be at the bottom of the list, this seems to be the first rule that is executed.
    In order to fix, I need to go into "process later" folder and run all rules on it.
    Is there a way to fix this, w/o trying to re-create all the rules (I have like 40-50).

    I have same issue where rules are not processed in the order they are written.  All rules are "Client Only".  I sort email based on the information contained in the subject line.  Some should get filed into sub folders, some in the
    parent.  So,  I have a folder called QA and a sub-folder called QA-Project 1.
    #1 rule -- processes subject line looking for QA-Project 1 and puts it in QA-Project 1 folder
    #2 rule -- processes subject line looking only QA and puts it in QA folder
    Problem is when I run both these rules,  the email with subject "QA-Project 1" ends up in the QA folder and not the QA-Project 1 Folder.  So the rules are not processing sequentially.  Please help. 

  • Processing files in the order they were placed using file adptr in 10.1.3.4

    Dear experts,
    Do we have an option for File adapter, whether it can process the files in the order they were placed on the mount directory.
    Scenarios is: we have a third party system which generates a file for every 1 min. In case when BPEL service is down for sometime then files are getting accumulated and the moment we turn the service on, it is not processing files in the order they were created.
    But the system to which we are sending file data, it needs data in order.
    We are using soa suite 10.1.3.4.

    HI Pavan,
    I doubt if any such function is there.

    You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
    (1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
    (2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
    (3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
    (4) Add some SARE rules:
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
    70sareadult.cf
    70saregenlsubj0.cf
    70sareheader0.cf
    70sarehtml0.cf
    70sareobfu0.cf
    70sareoem.cf
    70sarespoof.cf
    70sarestocks.cf
    70sareunsub.cf
    72sare_redirectpost
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
    backhair.cf
    bogus-virus-warnings.cf
    chickenpox.cf
    weeds.cf
    Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
    Then stop and restart mail services.
    There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

  • How do I get iTunes to arrange movies (from a series) in the order they were released

    Bottom line, we all download movies into iTunes and regardless of if you view them as a list or as cover art, they are always in alphabetical order.   But when you have a series of movies (pick any of your favorites... Harry Potter, Twilight, Transformers, whatever.) as part of your collection, is there a way to get those movies to show in the order they were released?

    You asked if there is a way to impose a more useful order, and there is, but it requires a little effort on your part. Doing so via the sort fields (in the iTunes Get Info window) means you keep the original display names but just influence the sort order. An alternative, but still effort, is to tell iTunes that a series of movies is a TV Show, and then use the Episode ID field to control order.
    And no, local changes don't get mirrored to iCloud, so if you have a device that shows cloudly links to your purchases they will display with the original store metadata. In fact if you enable Show All Music and Show All Videos on your device the store metadata can sometimes be shown in preference to your edits even when you have the content in question loaded onto the device from your own library.
    There aren't any features that would made the process easier. Use iTunes Feedback if you would like to suggest improvements.

  • How do I get iTunes to organize albums in the order they were released

    iTunes displays the albums in the order of the tile. It should display the albums in the order they were released how are you supposed to do this I've played with sort order and it makes no difference. This seems pretty basic way of organizing an artists music has Apple lost their collective mind with this release of Itunes?

    Why does it absolutely have to display albums by the order they were released?  It can do what the programers want it to do.
    You can sort by album, but then by multiple clicks on the album column header you can get album by artist and album by year.

  • How do I get videos and pictures taken in the same event to show in a slideshow in the order they were taken?

    How do I get videos and pictures taken in Photos and the same Event to show in the order they were taken? Pictures and videos are seperated with videos at the end of both Photos and the Event.

    You're welcome.
    What's likely happened is that when you transferred the video to the new machine they lost their dates.
    Photos use the Exif metadata to record the date and time of the shot. This is quite different from the date and time of the file, which can change as the file is copied from place to place. Video doesn't have Exif, and so iPhoto uses the file date, and that's changed.
    Simply, there's no absoultely reliable way to date video.
    Try assign dates with the Batch Change command under the Photos menu.

  • Rows are not inserted in the order entered - Forms 4.5 to 9i database

    hi
    we are using forms 4.5 version with 9i oracle database.
    when we save a multi-record block (for eg 5 rows)
    the records are not inserted in the database in the
    order in which they are entered.
    for eg if we enter A,B,C,D,E Records and save
    on query the records appearing in the order of C,D,E
    A,B like that.
    Is there any database parameter or setting which
    effects the order of inserting rows in the database(when using forms 4.5).
    Pls inform if you have any solution.
    Thanks in advance
    cks

    This is a very common misconception.
    You should never concern yourself about the order in which rows are stored in the database. Oracle does not guarantee to return rows in any particular order so you must specify an order by clause when you select the rows.
    Without an order by clause, there are various reasons why the order of selected rows could change in different circumstances, and the order in which they are stored should be treated as irrelevant.

  • **get photos back in the order they were taken

    Good morning all,
    How do I get the photo in a specific collection back in the original order they were taken? I have no idea how I messed them up, but they are all mixed up and I can't see any logical order.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Al

    As Don said, it is on the toolbar at the bottom of the grid area. If the toolbar is not there, press T. If the sort option isn't on the toolbar, click on the triangle at the right end of the toolbar and check the 'Sorting' item.

  • Data Flow Task is not executing in the package

    I have a package in which I have a Data Flow Task which will load the data from Excel file to SQL Table.
    The Data Flow Task is executing and loading the data if I execute that particular task only.
    But when I run the whole package, the data is not loading into the table. (Its not even showing in the Data Viewers also)
    FYI: On every run, the Source Excel file will be deleted and created by the previous tasks (before the Data Flow Task)
    Please give me the cause and solution for this.
    Thanks in advance.. 

    Hello Sai -
    Can you please post the structure of your package (screenshot) , unless there is a change in excel connection prior to data flow , there should be no reason for no data.
    As you mentioned the source files are deleted prior to data load , it could mean :
    1 - New files have no data
    2 - The connection of the data flow is dynamically changed to the new files.
    Happy to help! Thanks. Regards and good Wishes, Deepak. http://deepaksqlmsbusinessintelligence.blogspot.com/

  • NB Type Planned orders are not Displayed in the Order Information System

    Dear All
    We have one material with Proc. type F.
    We have entered a sales order for that item & run MRP ( MRP type PE)
    No strategy is assigned to the material.
    MRP has created a Plan Order which is of NB type & in MD04 it is showing SDEB against Plan Order.
    Now we are not able to see this Plan Order in COOIS.
    Although it is visible in MD04,MD16.
    Can anyone tell me whether COOIS consider only those plan orders which are of E ( In house Prod ) category ?
    How can we display that in COOIS ?
    Abhishek Garg

    Dear,
    COOIS is used for production orders or planned orders olny and it will show u Order information relevent to "E" type procurement.
    You can use ME5A

  • Why am I told that fonts are not available when the file was originally created in Fireworks?

    I get the "Fonts not available" message when I open up a document, i.e. open up a png document in the program/computer/etc. where the program was created in the first place.
    I don't get this. How can the fonts not be available when I'm using the same program that used these fonts originally? Having said that, the appearance doesn't seem to change.

    Are the fonts in question installed on your computer?
    Fonts are not part of a program, fonts are installed on a system. Once installed, a font is available to any program that uses fonts. If you're opening a document that was made in the same program, but on a different system, using fonts you do not have installed, then you will get that message.
    So... Are you opening a document that you created? Are you opening the document on the same system on which the document was created? Have you made any changes to the installed fonts (installed or uninstalled any fonts)?
    What version of Fireworks are you using and what OS are you running it on?
