Scheduler Takes a Long Time To Activate Jobs

SYMPTOMS

When activating a Run Command On Workstation job that has no Run phase (only a Send phase and a Distribute phase) the scheduler updates the JobDetails table one row at a time for each computer in the job target.

For large sites this causes long delays in the job activation. For example, on a site with 3,000 clients the scheduler can take up to 30 minutes to activate a job sent to *|*|*.
