Situation

How do I schedule a job to start based on the time the last run of the job ended?

Resolution

Currently, AppManager does not provide a way to specify the start time of a job to be a set time after the last job ended. You can configure jobs to run at a interval from start time to start time.

Scheduled jobs only run at fixed intervals if the agent has not stopped.  If two jobs are started at 30 minute intervals, one beginning at 10:00am and the other at 10:10 am, they will continue to run every half hour, the second job always 10 minutes after the first.  However, if the agent is restarted, both jobs will run simultaneously once per 30 minutes.

Some configurations require job intervals to have a minimum number of minutes between each other.
