Remaining Restarts can show a negative number

Issue

In some situations, the Remaining Restarts in the User Interface can show a negative number.

Steps that cause this

This can occur when:

• there is a Job that is between the Scheduled and Finished Status.
  For example: EventWait or Running.
• Decrease the Restart Count on the Job Definition to a number that is lower than what is remaining.

Result/Explanation

On save of the Change on the Job Definition you will not get a popup to use the old/new Definition.

The Job that is not finished will run normally.

The Job that is created after this one will contain the new Restart Count, but the old Remaining Restarts.

These are subtracted and result in a negative number that is then shown in the Job Details.

There are no Functional issues, it will continue to run until all Remaining Restarts have been completed.

As such it will count up to 0, and then onwards to the Max Restarts number displayed.
