IDM 6 defered task scanner problem
I have two taskdefinitions. "Taskone" and "Tasktwo". I set up two scheduler through defer task scanner to run these two tasks on different time a day. And there are two users, one is registed with Taskone, the other with Tasktwo with same date but different task name. Here is one of user's perperty in user object
<Properties>
<Property name='tasks'>
<List>
<Object name='Taskone'>
<Attribute name='date' value='05/18/2007'/>
<Attribute name='task' value='Taskone'/>
</Object>
</Property>
</Properties>
The problem is that when the first schuduler ran, it should just run all the user who has "Taskone" but it also ran the Tasktwo that were scheduler to run today. Is it IDM bug?

# 1
The deferred task scanner is time dependent rather than Taskname dependent. All it cares is that if your task date attribute matches the same system date, then it will execute the task.
The only variation you can make is to the Object Type under the Task Parameters which you can set to 'resource' rather than 'user', so that the scanner not go through your user objects.
I don't think it's a bug because the behaviour has been like this since v5.5 and v7.0

Then I think the design has flaw. On the "Manage Schedule" tab, it allows to create as many scheduler as user wants. Supposely it should be just two scheduler. One is for user object the other is for resource. And the task name field on the Edit schedule just makes confusion.
