Sequence Restartability

Post by Abhinav »

If i have a Job Sequencer which has multiple jos and i have my "Add checkpoints so sequence is restartable on failure" enabled. Does this require the individual jobs should have thiers status of only OK ( Finished Successfully without any warnings).

Or would the restartability work even if i have warnings in my job, and i have a trigger to move onto the next job by specifying a Custom condition as JobName.$JobStatus =1 Or JobName.$JobStatus = 2

Thanks

You got it right!! It will look only for the failure status and restart those jobs.

"Failed" for jobs is Aborted only. (Or Validation Failed if running a validation.)

"Failed" for a routine activity is a return value other than zero, for an execute command activity is an exit status other than zero, unless explicitly handled with a trigger.
