Hi,
We have jobs 1,2,3,4,5,6 in a Sequence which has restartability. If job 4 aborts, we have to run job 3 onwards. But this requirement is only for job 4 and not for any other job. One way is put both 3 & 4 in a sequence which has no restartability.
Is there any other way?
Thnx,
Savio

Can you elaborate the point "But this requirement is only for job 4 and not for any other job" !
Cheers,
BA

I think that would be the best way to go about doing it. Put them in one sequence job and do not make that sequence restartable.

You can mark job 3 "do not checkpoint run" so that job 3 always runs.

But this way even if job 5 or job 6 fails, job 3 will run, which the OP doesnt want.

You obviously have a RMM stage! I can't read that into the requirement.

That statement points towards it, doesnt it
