Auto start failed caster job

September 05, 2007, 08:25 PM

Is there a setting in Reportcaster that would automatically restart the job if it fails to execute properly on the scheduled time?

Thanks,
Dan

Sorry Dan

Why would you want this - surely it would fail again on the restart...

hammo1j,

These past few days we have some network issues accessing the web services. The job/fex is okay, it's the connection that failed. It could be a coincidence that at that particular moment, the connection failes but after a few minutes all is fine. I want it to try to run again until it runs successfully.

It is also because we've schduled it to run very early in the morning and no support will be on-site until a few hours after the report runs.
