I have updated to 6.1.7 on both server and client, but I can't seem to find how to enable waiting for completion for an MSSQL Job task, and judging by the completion time of the task for which I was looking forward to using this feature, it isn't the default. Did I miss something?

It is enabled by default. You should see an error in the log if something failed here.

I tried to post this several times already, but for some reason I can't submit to this site from work anymore.

I tested this by creating a SQL Agent job that does nothing except WAITFOR DELAY for one minute.

I created a VisualCron job with a SQL task set to run that job.

When I run the job in VisualCron, it returns (reporting success) almost immediately. On SQL Server, I can see that the job continues running for the full minute.

This is consistent with the behavior I'm seeing from the SQL Job task that was the main reason I was looking forward to this feature.

We are still on 6.1.7. We do plan on upgrading to 6.1.8 soon.

What you can try is to turn on Extended debugging in Server settings->Log. Then run Task. Should give you enough info in log.

Aha! Thank you. The problem appears to be this.

1/16/2013 8:06:56 AM Err Error waiting for SQL Job completion, error: Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types.

...Perhaps I should add that I do not know what that means I need to do. Is there some property of a SQL job that it doesn't need in order to run but that VisualCron requires to be set in order to wait for it?

Sorry that we did not get back to you earlier. We need to find out where it goes wrong in your case. Please do the following:

1. download and install http://neteject.com/down...on/VisualCron6.1.8-3.exe 
2. run the job again
3. please send the same log to support@visualcron.com
