Vladimir,
I beg to disagree. The reason is that we used a number of jobs where the
interval was defined as "sysdate+1" and the job routinely ran for ~30 minutes
every day. The result was that the job migrated over the course of a week by
3.5 hours so that instead of running at 6AM as scheduled on Monday it was
running at 9:30 AM on the next Monday. I filed an iTar on the subject which
resulted in OTS providing what I stated. Interval is evaluated at the end of
the job, not the start.
