SYMPTOMS
========
When multiple programs belonging to the same package are advertised to a client,
the Available Programs Manager (APM) scheduler might fail to keep track of some
programs that have been executed, causing the scheduler to re-execute some of
those programs.
The scheduler executes the jobs stored in Ms\Sms\Clicomp\Apa\Data\Jobs and keeps
track of executed jobs in the Ms\Sms\Clicomp\Apa\Data\Complete directory. The
jobs are stored as with a file name composed of the package ID and a numerical
extension (index), such as:
F1200007.000
F1200007.001
F1200007.002
To work around this problem, advertise only one program per package.
CAUSE
=====
A problem with the management of the jobs indexes is the cause of this issue.
WORKAROUND
==========

Server 2.0. For additional information, click the following article number to

MORE INFORMATION
================
You can determine the version of APM that your clients are using by doing either
of the following:
- On your site server, open the Compver.ini file in the
SMS\Inboxes\Clicomp.src\Smsapm32 directory. If this file is version
2.00.1239.0020 or later, you do not need the fix.
- On the Systems Management Server client, double-click the Systems Management
icon in Control Panel and then click the Components tab. If the version
number of the Available Programs Manager is 2.00.1239.0020 or later, you do
not need the fix.
