EEM - workmode and variable don't keep script from running

[Former Member]

SCN friends,

We are on Solman 7.1 SP06.  I am doing EEM with 2 robots. 

Issue

I want my script to only execute during my "Peak Business Hours" work mode.  I have 2 work modes defined for my 2 robots.

let's focus on just one robot named cb70cw1l

    my "Peak Business Hours" work mode runs from 08:30 central to 10:30 central.
    my "Non-Peak Business Hours" work mode runs from 10:31 central to 14:00 central
    So, I don't want any scripts running on my cb70cw1l robot to run during the "Non-Peak Business Hours" work mode
   

I went to EEM setup, then "step 4"- Monitoring, there, I went to Robots tab,
selected my robot cb70cw1l.  I see workmode.current =  Non-Peak Business Hours

    so, I add a variable: workmode.enabled.Non-Peak Business Hours =  false.
   
    Then Save.

Still, in the EEM real-time monitor, the script is still running on that robot!
    The wiki here says this is supposed to work (by that I mean the script is supposed to STOP:
    http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/EEM/Workmodes+of+EEM+Robots
    http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/EEM/Workmodes+for+EEM+Scripts
 
(text from the WIKI) 
    The robot starts all scripts where the property
workmode.enabled.<workmode> is not set to false

    I checked the PC each robot runs on.  they are all set to US central time, the same as my solman system where I set the workmode
   
    After that, I even set the same parameter at the script level. 
Still, the script keeps running!

I have reviewed all these notes:

**implemented latest version of
Note 1748968 - Collective corrections for the MEA Directory SP6
(as of 10/3/2013 @ 12:40PM Central US)
AKA version 26 of the note was applied.

Also applied this note:
Note 1752164 - Adding Managed Object name to metrics in E2E Analysis
report
(we did not have this one previously.  same basic timestamp for
application)

Note 1733457 - E2E Analysis report translation issue fix
(prereq to 1752164)

Note 1768544 - Corrections for EEM 7.1 SP06 and SP07
--> note says...post application "After applying the correction
execute the task 'Perform tasks after upgrade' in step 2.4."
--> this really means go to solman config WC --> system prep --> step
3 (imp sap note) --> hit the "Launch the Post-Processing" execute
button....
****we applied this one months ago really.  but I did the manual step
again just in case *****

I have attached a detailed screen shot giving an example of one of my
robots.

Please have a look,

thanks

Doesn't look like I'm going to get a whole lot of help on SCN.  No biggie, I'll get a message open about it...

Hi Nick,

There is a problem with the EEM workmodes for robots. There is an SAP Note being developed for this which would indicate the new LM service to be upgraded, once done, your issue would be resolved.

Please check this link: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/EEM/Workmodes+of+EEM+Robots

You can see the not being developed.
