Restartable job sequence

[Bala R]

Hi,
I am trying to make my job sequences restartable when one of the jobs has aborted. The add checkpoints property is turned on for the job sequence. The property is turned on in the administrator too.
When a job in the sequence has aborted the the logs in the sequence says the job status aborted but the subsequent logs says:
'Removed checkpoint record at successful completion of sequence'.
The manual says I should see in the director the status as 'Aborted/restartable' but I see the status as finished. I am missing something . Could someone point me in the right direction?
Server version is 7.1r1.

Thanks for your time.

Are you handling anything if the job gets aborted?
like using Notification to send mail, if job aborted.

We faced the same problem,
when a job is aborted and we use notification stage to send mail , the Sequencer log says "Removed checkpoint record at successful completion of sequence".


We removed the Notification stages after the job failure and Sequencer now says its "Aborted/Restartable", if any job fails.



There might be some other way too, to handle this.

To clarify, the job sequence detects that the abort has been "handled" by the Exception Handler, and therefore removes the checkpoint and reports successful completion.

You can have one or the other, but not both.

The job is the last one in the sequence. The sequence ends there and there are no triggers/links coming out of the last job.
What else I should look for?

Thanks.

Hi Bala,
Even if there are no links coming out of the last job in sequence,Check if there is an Exception handler stage included in the sequence as suggested by Ray..

Logic,
There is no exception handling or email notification in the sequence. Its a simple single line of job flow with only four job activities. Each job activity triggers the next if it 'Executed OK'.

Did you check these options in JobProperties:

"Add checkpoints so sequence is restartable on failure"
"Automatically handle activities that fail"
