Error description
At server version 7.1.1.x, an admin schedule can use the option 'maxruntime=xx' (xx=minutes). By using the MAXRUNTIME parameter, a timeout value can be set for server processes that are started by scheduled administrative commands. When it is used, the timeout value is not being honoured. For example, setting maxruntime equal to 60mins, reclamation process is stopped within 1 minute: 2015-07-02 11:16:34 ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE SCHEDULE reclaim_stgpool t=a startt=+00:01 dur=5 durunit=min cmd='reclaim stg dedup thresh=5 dur=60' maxrunt=60 active=yes perunits=onetime (SESSION: 24913) 2015-07-02 11:16:34 ANR2577I Schedule RECLAIM_DEDUP_1 defined.
