When making major changes in a 6221.1 solution, we sometimes need to disable jobs to avoid deployment/execution collisions. It would be nice to be able to right-click a job and disable/enable it … preferably with a visual cue showing that the job is disabled when that’s the case.

It’s better to be able to enable/disable schedules

I’ve upvoted your idea … it would be a logical feature to add to schedules.

Some customers can’t “afford” multiple environments and in those cases, we have to develop straight to PROD. That’s not a problem as long as you know what you do. To avoid development-deployment-execution collisions in v20, I simply disable the relevant jobs for a period of time (I’ve got monitoring in place that alerts me to disabled jobs).

To achieve this, I use Windows Task Scheduler instead of TX Scheduler in v20 solutions because WTS gives me a quick and efficient way to avoid collisions (as well as to stop executions and to avoid issues where TX Scheduler would have thought a job is already executing). The additional memory consumption is negligible.
