I am using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition, Sp4 + Hotfix on a properly configured Windows 2003 Server R2 with 10 GB Ram on a two-node active-active cluster.

I have had my Job history report durations of:
-95443:-92:-42

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a bug.

Is this the first time the job was run? Have you checked the raw data in the msdb tables?

I got exactly this run timing on a job that kicked off at exactly the time the clocks went back. Any differences in system time between the nodes. sounds like SQLAgent thinjs the job finished before it started, if you see what I mean.

Thank you both.
First the job has been running for years. Second I thought we dealt with the DST back in the spring on this server.

It is still occuring, any thoughts on how to stop it? Re-do the job or maintenance plan?

Thanks in advance, I am glad to know I am not crazy.

Can you query the raw data in msdb and see what's listed? sysjobhistory?

Ok, let's see the job is a transaction log backup part of a maintenance plan.

The maintenance plan is actually created by LiteSpeed enterprise edition version 4.5.204.

I am running this setup on several different server (16) in several different clusters. I haven't noticed the problem on other servers, but I will double check.

And to answer the other question, yes the raw data is in the msdb sysjobhistory table where the run duration is negative.

Very strange. Is it only the Litespeed jobs?

I wouldn't think that Litespeed has anything to do with it. The only thing that would make sense would be a time adjustment during the job, something like the DST change. How long does it take for the job to run?

Is this still continuing? What if you manually run the job now?

It is primarily the LiteSpeed transaction backup job, which runs every 15 minutes, but I just found one instance in a job that was manually created to purge the old backup history. So I would agree it is not LiteSpeed.

I will have to double check time sources as we do try to keep them synched. maybe one of them is off.
