Doubt in the execution of jobs in sequencer

[vij]

Hi all,

I have a doubt in the execution of jobs in the sequencer - I created one sequencer which has the following structure:

Job1 ---> Job5

Job2 ---> Job6

Job3 ---> Job7

Job4 ---> Job8

Here Jobs 1 to 4 will run in parallel, independent to each other and Job 5 till 8 is based on the result of the previous jobs.

The problem which I face is, after the failure of the Job 2, the sequencer gets aborted and didnt run the jobs, job 5 or job 7 or job 8, even though the respective jobs ie., job 1, job 3 and job 4 ran successful.

Is my understanding wrong or do I miss anything? Please advice me!

Thanks!

Are you telling us what actually happened, or what you think will happen?

Your job sequence (note, not "sequencer") has no Exception Handler nor any Terminator activity, so why should a failure of Job2 affect Jobs 5, 7 and 8?

Do you have "automatically handle activities that fail" checked? Read the help associated with this check box, and see if that clarifies your understanding.

If the Sequence job aborts, you are done. Why did it abort?

Also, look into what trigger you have specified for Job2.

Thanks for all your reply, I am telling a something which had happend when I ran the sequencer.

The sequencer got aborted, because the Job2, which I have already specified had encountered a fatal error, due to space issue.

My doubt was - As Job 2 failed, it should not trigger Job6 , but as other jobs such as - Job1 , Job3 and Job4 ran successful and should not these jobs trigger their respective other jobs such as Job5 , Job7 and Job8 ??

You haven't answered for the question asked. What is the status of "automatically handle activities that fail"?
As soon as the job2 is aborted, the abort signal will be sent to Master sequence, and the same forced the rest of the jobs to abort. But by the time the signal sent to JobSequnce, the Job1, Job3 and Job4 might have finished.
