Question on restartability

[savvas]

Hello,

Does anyone know what the behaviour should be when a restartable job fails and the Job Launcher attempts to launch the job again?

In my case, my Job fails and I can verify this since the:

<next on="FAILED" to="batchFailedStep" />

step is executed, but when I try to restart the Job again, I get a JobInstanceAlreadyCompleteException.

I don't specify any restartable property on the <job /> so I assume the default(true) is set? Any thought?

Regards,

if a failed step goes next to a last step that succeeds (batchFailedStep in our case?), the whole batch execution is considered COMPLETED (thus the corresponding instance), so you can't start a new execution of the instance again.

Hi Arnaud,

It all makes sense now..I changed:

<next on="FAILED" to="batchFailedStep" />

to:

<end on="FAILED" />

and it works as expected.

Thanks very much,
