Finished jobs still showing in the running windows

Post by JonJR » 1 person likes this post

We're running 11.0.1.1261 and have an odd artefact that jobs which completed with warning are still showing in the running window.

https://imgur.com/a/cu1UvE7 Image

Rebooting the B&R server clears them. Is this a v11 change that I've missed?

BTW the warning is harmless - this VM has an independent disk that we don't want Veeam to backup.

Cheers Jon

I see the same after updating from v11 to V11a. Looks like a GUI caching/refresh issue (I opened a case for it yesterday, #05080996). Pressing F5 refreshes the list and shows the correct jobs again. No need to reboot the Veeam server.

I got a response back from support that this is a known issue with v11a.

@Gostev: would it be possible to include this in the known issues list on the forum?

I don't include every known issue there but only those which result in a large number of support cases (support management informs me about such issues).

This issue occurred for me as well. I rebooted the SQL server and VBR server before finding this post. F5 is “fixing” the issue for now.

Today I learned that the F5 key works in Veeam console. Brilliant.

Unfortunately this isn’t completely fixed. I still have to use F5 sometimes to show the running jobs correctly. The start time of the extra jobs shown is exactly one week ago. Using F5 clears these jobs. We are already on P20211123.

Please have support review if you have the patch installed correctly, and confirm the issue if so.

Support confirmed the refresh issue is still present in v11a with the patch installed.

It appears you might have come across a situation on v11a in which under certain circumstances: Last 24 hours -> Running view shows "extra" sessions, that are actually in the stopped state (job type is not important, it could be a replica, backup, backup copy, and other sessions).

Veeam R&D is aware of this and the plan is to fix it in a future release, however, at this time we do not have a current timeframe of when it will be fixed.

To work around the issue pressing the F5 key a few times, while the Last 24 hours -> Running view is opened, should refresh and properly show the running tasks.

No. I read the support case and the quoted statement from support engineer is about 11a, not about P20211123. But your last response/clarification should put the case on the right track for them to make necessary next steps, like making sure the patch was correctly installed.

ok, my bad indeed. I forgot to mention in the opening case notes that we already had installed the latest patch.

I received a response from support:

We have received updates from our RnD team, that as this issue is not reproducing identically for all customers, it has different causes and circumstances and some of them will be fixed in next version.

Therefore we are advised to wait for v12 where multiple possible causes will be fixed.

The same here. I am actually on a later version already 11a P20211211 (build 11.0.1.1261 P20211211 ) on Dec 20 2021, however, this issue still exists and the F5 option still clears everything.

As mentioned above, scenarios that are not covered by the latest patch fixes will be addressed by v12. You can open a case to confirm you're experiencing one of the already known issues.

Would never have guessed a basic F5 sorts this , was driving me mad and have a very very limited window to patch/reboot server .

So basic , how about adding a right-click and refresh Veeam ?!???1!?!

After ignoring this for a few weeks, I can't say how happy I am to stumble upon this :).

I was told buy support for a different issue it was known for 11a, but never did I think to push F5. Best work around ever

Thanks!

In an ideal world you should not need Refresh button at all. At least not in the dynamic grids.

Check out context-aware F1 magic in our UI! :)

Holy moly I can't believe this worked. WHY DOESNT IT REFRESH when you click away from 'Running' and back? (or automatically as some have suggested)

Issue still shows in 11.0.1.1261 P20220302 (new setup, installed from ISO, hence never updated) - F5 works.
Kind regards
