Background Tasks - not working in current 8.4?

I have a customer who's current live version 8.4 2017-11-25 and runs a Background Task TimedMn every 120 seconds correctly.

I am testing the version 8.4 2017-05-14 (Build 707) to overcome a critical bug elsewhere and can see that, although the hal code is identical and everything the is set the same with current data, this background task is not running anymore.

Is anyone aware of any issues with Background Tasks with latest 8.4 versions?

Hi Julia,

I have not heard of any issues.

I have also gone through all the currently reported bugs and nothing has been reported that is similar to your problem.

Kind Regards,
Tayla Anniciello

Thank you for checking Tayla.

Further investigations show that it is running, but that for tasks that apply to different companies I have had to modify my hal code to cope :(
