Hi All,

I was trying to use Command activity in sequence job ...

i came with option "Donot Check point run"...

What i understood is if a sequence fails in middle the whole operation is going to revert back if this option is checked...

Correct me if iam wrong??and post if there is more for this option use....

thank you........

No, not the "whole operation", it just means that that object will always run regardless of the current checkpoint situation.

If the Job Sequence is restarted, it will skip the components that are not checked for "Do not Check point run". In the case you provided, whenever the Job Sequence is restarted it will execute the Command Activity component if the "Donot Check point run" is checked within the Activity stage.

got the use of it ..but i was seeing this option in some sequence job command activities checked and i cannot see this option at all for some command activities in other jobs...

Do we have to enable any option at job level....

thank you.......

Within the Job properties of a Job Sequence you will have to enable "Add Checkpoints so sequence is restartable on failure" to see the "Donot Checkpoint run" with in the activity stage.
