Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.5

How reproducible:
frequently

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Created a 6.5 Satellite and Capsule templates from 6.4 Successfully.
2. By Using Step1 template created Satellite and Capsule VM.
3. Both VM's were running & upstate and had hourly, daily and weekly sync plan.
4. Restarted Katello services on both machines. 
5. Sync plan was already scheduled.

Actual results:
Hourly scheduled sync plan executed every minute.

Expected results:
The scheduled task should be executed at the scheduled time.

Additional info:
After resaving the sync plan problem get resolved, This is one observation.

Comment 7 Samir Jha 2019-06-17 15:55:46 UTC
What I understand from the tasks logs is that the server was off for some days after upgrade. The current behavior is that if we have a recurring logic in place and the server is down, whenever the server comes up, the recurring logic runs the task as many times was missed in the period the server was down. That is what you are seeing on the server above.

I have below queries on same:

1. Why sync plan execute in every min for pending recurring logic even sync plan scheduled for every hour? 

2. Also if server is down then it should keep one 'recurring logic' same job/syncplan and run after up however keeping all('recurring logic') still does not make much worth here ? what do you think ?

2. After resaving the sync plan problem get resolved , so how that remove the recurring logic ?

Comment 9 Samir Jha 2019-06-18 14:22:02 UTC
> 1. Why sync plan execute in every min for pending recurring logic even sync plan scheduled for every hour? 

Since, the server was down for a while, the sync plan(with a scheduled task in the background) picks up the task with a backdated start date and runs it as many times it was missed while the server was down.

> Also if server is down then it should keep one 'recurring logic' same job/syncplan and run after up however keeping all('recurring logic') still does not make much worth here ? what do you think ?
That does sound like the behavior we should lean towards for sync plans specifically. I will defer to Ivan/Adam to verify the behavior of running all missed scheduled tasks for recurring logic on server start.

> 2. After resaving the sync plan problem get resolved , so how that remove the recurring logic ?

For some fields on sync plan, updating it causes a new recurring logic to get created and the old one is cancelled along with the scheduled job tied to it. Once, the scheduled job is cancelled, the pending tasks for the job don't run anymore.

Might be I am missing something , But imagine if a syncplan has 20+ or more repos .. then there would more tasks in pending list if it picks in every mins in such scenarios.

Comment 11 Samir Jha 2019-06-18 15:51:25 UTC
Yes..The Sync Plan run is the parent task and individual repo syncs are the sub-tasks for it. You can see all the child repo syncs in the dynflow console for the job that is scheduled in this case. It's not necessarily every minute though, it runs the task as many times it was skipped one by one. Once it's done running the skipped number of times, it settles back to it's intended schedule.
