Hybris cron job manual start ingores nodeGroup settings

Question

In our application if we start a cron job manually from the BO, it ignores the already set nodeGroup and instead it starts on the current server node. (If it is triggered by a time based trigger it starts correctly on the set nodeGroup.)
Is it on purpose or is it a bug? Are we missing something?
Hybris version is 5.7.

Answer 1

I would expect it to work like that since you have chosen the node by opening its backoffice. You could also choose the node you want to run the cronjob on by accessing its backoffice. Which node you access depends on the URL you enter.
