Recovering a Job

You can recover a waiting job with a status of Needs Recovery. A job with a Needs Recovery status is one that failed during the execution or processing of the job.

Note: Before you try to recover the job, you must correct the problem with the job. In addition, you cannot recover a job with a status of Waiting on Recovery until you recover the job with a Needs Recovery status that uses the same program.

When you recover a job, the system uses restart information (as appropriate) to continue processing from the point where the initial execution failed.

To recover a job

  1. Access the Job Schedule form.
  2. Click the Waiting Jobs tab.

    After you click the Waiting Jobs tab, the Job Schedule form lists only jobs with a status of Waiting on Recovery, Needs Recovery, or Invalid Parameters.

  3. Select the job you want to recover by selecting the checkbox for it.
  4. Click Recover from the Job Actions dropdown menu.
  5. Click Yes to confirm that you want to begin the job recovery.
