database-mirroring

I have a data collection job that fails when a Database on the instance is in Recovery Mode. The database in recovery is the MIRROR partner in the database mirror.

The Job that fails is as follows.

collection_set_1_noncached_collect_and_upload

The job consists of the following steps

dcexec -u -s 1 -i "INSTANCE03"
EXEC [dbo].[sp syscollector purge collection logs]
dcexec -u -s 1 -i "INSTANCE03"

The job fails at Step 1. I have run the steps manually and they all appear to be ok.

If I change the mirror database to be the principal the job completes successfully.
