Cyclic job stream cycle

Previously on an older version of TWS I had tried automating a cyclic job stream. As an example my intent was to have this stream run every hour on the hour from 1pm to 9pm each day and the start of each new cycle would be dependent on the completion of the previous cycle. The best I could do was to get the job in the stream to repeat but the subsequent jobs would always be offset by the completion time of the previous job. So things would float. I wanted a hard set each stream (and associated jobs) to repeat each hour with a start time on the hour. Now I am trying this with 9.4 and I created a simple test stream with 3 jobs that just do an echo in each job just to visualize it. I set a start time on the stream and I have the run cycle set to repeat every 2 minutes for 20 minutes. I submit this test stream into the plan and the first run executes and is a success. But the subsequent runs do not get injected into the plan and ran. Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong? Patrick
