Can a stopped sequence be restartable

HI ,

The Sequence gets restarted from the point where the job failed, because of the checkpoint option.

Suppose the sequence is stopped manually, is it possible that the sequence can start from the point where are job has been stoped.

Please let me know the options in this case.

FYI ..we are using DataStage 7.1 version

No.

The job sequence must be reset or recompiled. Either of these will remove the checkpoint information from the stopped run.

Therefore there are no options.

I noticed the same thing and thought it odd.

Does anyone know if there is a rational reason behind this? It seems like an oversight. If we all asked Ascential nicely, would they build it into v8?

Stopped manually is a special case - it has its own status value. You won't get it into version 8, because that's almost finished beta testing and is just about ready to ship. Version 10 maybe, if you can make a business case (so that it's worthwhile IBM expending the effort).
