Sequencer not restarting from check point

[harish_s_ampeo]

I have a sequencer which in turn calls 5 other sequencers,few routine activity stages,User variable stage and wait for file activity.
all four options namely Add checkpoints,Automatically handle activities that fail,Log warnings,Log report messages after each job run is checked in the main sequencer and in sequencers called by the main sequencer.Wait for file is made not to checkpoint run.

If the sequencer aborts at some point and i restart the sequencer without resetting it,it doesn't start from the check point.
The sequencer starts, skips the run of job1,and first routine activity and goes to finished state.Its not checking the status of other checkpointed run jobs though there few other jobs that have completed successfully.

Wait for file is made not to checkpoint run.

why this is not with checkpoint? Any specific reason?
Try after changing it and post the results.

The wait for file is to abort the sequencer if the file didn't arrive within the time out period and trigger the exception handler .But once we receive the file we will just restart the sequencer so that it checks for the file and triggers the jobs that follow the Wait for file activity.

Anyways if the file is not present it will not trigger the sequence after that and will restart from that acivity itself as its the point of failure.
Hence even if you enable checkpoint on that activity it should work.
By removing checkpoint from that acivity you are forcing the sequnce to start from that activity, so why are you expecting it to start from point of failure.
Test after changing that and post the result whether its behaving as expected or not.

You'll need to provide more details about your jobs and issue. Is the abort happening in one of the "sub sequences" or the "main" sequence?

Restart only skips leading checkpointed activities, not all checkpointed activities. Restart is from the first activity that does not have a checkpoint, resulting from unsuccessful completion. ("Do not checkpoint run" activities are executed, but later checkpointed activities can still be skipped.)

For example, if your sequence contains seven activities A1 through A7, A1 is marked "do not checkpoint run", then A5 fails. On restart, A1 will run, A2 through A4 will be skipped, then A5 will run. What happens after that depends on the exit status of A5.
