Regarding Testing of CheckPoint in Sequence

[Ankur_KapoorUK]

Hi Experts,

I have a scenario to test sequences where different checkpoints are applied :-

Main Sequence
checked so restartable on Failure.

Framework Functions
Do Not Check Point

Job Activity

Check Pointed

Command Activity/Routine making file

Check Pointed

Command Activity/Routine not making file
Do Not Check Point

Now I want to test whether the checkpoint applied are wrking fine.
Can you please suggest me the ways to test this.

Only way is to manually abort the job and check the logs and reset and again and seeing whether it is doing the desirable or not. Is there is some other way to test it.

That is an interesting question that I haven't seen posed before, but unfortunately I think that the answer to your question will be that the only way to test checkpointing is to force errors into your tests.

Agreed. I usually create small jobs that do nothing but work fine, finish with warnings or abort on command for this. Once I'm sure the Sequence structure is working, I sub in the 'real' jobs.
