job update link not shown when expected
Submitted by comewhatmay on Sun, 01/17/2010 - 19:17
E.g. 2010-01-15 was published today, and the new job page reports that it is available as the ending date. My job id=262975 is monthly and was previously run up until 2010-12-18, so I expected to see an update link.
I suspect the issue is that the job's former "stop_date" is used blindly in deciding on these links, rather than looking at the last date actually referenced in the backtest. For my example job the stop_date was 2010-01-08, so if the update link logic takes this date plus the fact that it's a monthly backtest, it would conclude that it's not time to show the link.
As a workaround I manually pieced together an update link for this job and new end date, and the backtester processed it fine.
