Restarting the sequence

Post by vamsi_4a6 »

I have one master sequence Job1 and within that sequence we are calling parallel jobs and another sequence job2.suppose if master sequence is aborted.I am restarting Job1, parallel jobs and job2.It is required to restart all jobs or only Job1 is sufficient?

Always restart the top level sequence only. It will work out which sequences and jobs need to be skipped or restarted.

Also, note that some stages like User Activity Variables always rerun on a restart. For activity variables defined as static or coming from an external source, everything is ok, however value of the ones calculated locally may change on restart.

"It will work out which sequences and jobs need to be skipped or restarted"

Where we will mention which jobs needs to be skipped or restarted?

You don't, it knows what to do based on the checkpoints in the sequences. You do have checkpoints enabled in all of them, yes?
