I did some more looking, and noticed that it ran on the weekend maintenance window, but now the windows are scheduled again until this Friday. Any idea why? Does Oracle just decide it doesn't think things change enough that it doesn't need to for a while, or is there something else going on?

As such I recently changed the autotask used maintenance windows so that they would run during the N.A. nighttime. After I did this, the next day the jobs ran when expected (the new time), but then didn't run for about a week. I was getting worried something had gotten messed up but then finally last night they did run as expected. You can see what I did here http://tinky2jed.wordpress.com/oracle-stuff/changing-the-oracle-database-default-maintenance-window-time/ I was thinking maybe it didn't think there was any work to do, but I would think it still would kick off the job to figure that out. So, I'm still wondering why it didn't run for almost a week. Prior to that it seems it has run every day during the week.
