Service Behavior

Execution Timing

Service Level Agreement

Scheduled jobs have approximately 20-minute tolerance from their scheduled execution time.

Outage Recovery
Outage Duration Behavior
< 20 minutes All missed executions run immediately
>= 20 minutes Only last missed execution runs

Rationale: Prevents overwhelming target applications with excessive requests upon recovery.

Schedule Auto-Deactivation

Schedules automatically deactivate when:

Trigger Description
One-time executed After successful or failed execution
No future dates All possible execution times passed
endTime reached Job or schedule end time in past
Endpoint unreachable Action endpoint unreachable 10+ consecutive days

Request Handling

Constraint Value
POST body limit 100 KB
413 response Body size exceeded
Timezone UTC only
Pagination default 10 items
Pagination max 200 items

Data Retention

Data Type Retention Notes
Run logs 15 days Auto-deleted
Jobs/Schedules Indefinite Until deleted
Configurations Indefinite Until instance deleted

Backup and Restore

Capabilities

The service supports restoration of accidentally deleted items:

Restorable Not Restorable
Job configurations Run logs
Task configurations Same-day deletions
Schedule configurations -

Restored Item State

Property Restored Value
active false (requires manual reactivation)
All other settings Original values

Restoration Time Windows

Region Maximum Window
AWS 14 days
Azure 14 days
GCP 7 days

Same-Day Limitation

Jobs and schedules created, modified, or deleted on the same day cannot be restored due to daily backup dependency.

Restoration Procedures

For Deleted Service Instances

Submit SAP support case with:

  • Tenant ID of subaccount
  • Deletion timestamp
  • Old instance GUID (from Space Events audit logs)
  • New empty instance GUID for recovery
For Deleted Subscriptions

Submit SAP support case with:

  • Tenant ID
  • Deletion timestamp
  • Provider instance GUID

Then:

  1. Create new subscription
  2. Wait for restoration completion

Getting Instance GUID

Via CF CLI:

cf service <instance-name> --guid

Via Audit Logs:

  1. Access Cloud Foundry audit logs
  2. Filter for Space Events
  3. Find DELETE event for service instance
  4. Extract instance GUID from event details

Accessibility Features

Operational Best Practices

Scheduling

Practice Recommendation
Avoid peak seconds Don't use 0 or 30
Avoid peak minutes Don't use 0, 30, or multiples of 5
Avoid top of hour High demand periods
Avoid midnight UTC Busiest time
Use irregular times e.g., 01:12:17 vs 01:00:00

Monitoring

Approach Method
Dashboard Manual review of run logs
Cloud ALM Automated monitoring
Alert Notification Event-driven alerts
REST API Programmatic log retrieval

Maintenance

Task Frequency
Download critical logs Before 15-day retention
Review failed jobs Daily/Weekly
Credential rotation Quarterly
Verify scope grants After XSUAA changes

Capacity Planning

Factor Consideration
Schedule count Service plan based on schedules
Execution frequency Rate limits apply
Run log volume 15-day auto-deletion
Memory (CF tasks) Default 1GB, configurable
