5.9 Redoing tasks
There are two ways in which you can redo a task in the JP1/AO system: by re-executing the task, or by retrying it. The difference between these methods is described below.
Re-executing tasks
You can re-execute a task whose processing has stopped (tasks in Completed, Failed, and Canceled status), under a different task ID. You can set any property values you wish.
Retrying tasks
You can retry a task whose processing has failed. The task will retain its original property values and task ID. You might retry a task when a task fails for reasons related to the execution environment, such a temporary loss of network connectivity.
You can select either of the following options when using the retry function to redo a task:
Retry the task from the failed step
Retry the task from the step after the failed step
- Important
Before retrying a task, identify and resolve the cause of the failure based on the execution status and results of the individual steps in the task, and the contents of the task log.
The subsections below describe how to re-execute and retry tasks.
