Schedule Multicast Tasks Issues

[devle]

Hello,

I am currently using the FOG REST API to develop a multicast solution for end users. Immediate multicast tasks are working as expected.

However, I’m encountering an issue with scheduled tasks. When I create a scheduled multicast task, the task object is successfully registered. But once the scheduled time passes, the task does not execute and remains listed under Tasks → Scheduled Tasks.

To rule out API-related issues, I also attempted to schedule a multicast task directly through the FOG Web UI, but experienced the same behavior.

Additional details:

Version: v1.6.0-beta.2277
SCHEDULERGLOBALENABLED is enabled
FogScheduler service is active

Could you please advise what might be causing scheduled tasks not to execute, or suggest any additional checks or logs I should review?

Thank you in advance for your help.
