JOb Recompiling When Abort

Post by maffan76 »

HI,
I have a job which i am running in my development ENV. everytime the job fails i have to recompile it again to RUN. i want to ask is it necessary to reompile it as it is a problem to compile the job all the time.

Can someone please throw some light on recompiling philosophy of DS as i undertand that if chnage something it should be recompiled otherwise job failure is normal so why do i need to recompile it again.

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Affan

You don't need to recompile it again unless you live and die inside the Designer. You should be using the Director to Reset the job rather than recompiling it after it aborts.

If you run the job from inside a Job Sequence, set the Execution Action in the job Activity to "Reset if Required, then Run".
