Hi All,

I would like to know if we can reset an aborted job(not manually) in a job sequence or Job Control. What I would like to achieve is, if one of my jobs in the Job sequence fails, I want that job to be reset again and start(try) running rather than me going and resetting the job manually. If there's a way around, any guidance would be great.

Thanks in advance

One of the properties is execution action, set it to reset if required and then run.

Hi
Search for Check Point restart. You can also find it documented. The check option available in job property. If this ain't enabled, whenever you rerun the sequence, you would end up run all the job from the scratch. Also Include 'Reset if required and Rerun' so that you can restart from the point where it got aborted.

in a job control : the DSPrepareJob command is equivalent to the Reset if requierd and run of the job sequence.

Thanks a lot for the inputs guys. With that said, will I be able to control the number of times the job can be reset before it sends a final job failure message.

HI Kris,
Could you just explain your requirement. It seems you need a job to be reset and rerun automatically before it splits out the abort message?

Hi Kumar,

My requirement is, If any of my jobs in the Job Sequence fail, I want that job to restart(reset and rerun) by itself automatically for 'n' number of times (1<n<10) before it gives up on restarting and then send an abort message or failure notification. I was wondering if anyone could guide me on those lines, if its possible.

Thanks
Kris.

I guess it may not be easy using Job Sequence. But you can achieve the same using the shell through which the sequece can be called. Just frame a loop for 10 times and check for RC. If it passes call the next sequence where the Email notification present else rerun the sequence. Pass the status of the Sequence to the next sequence.
